    D&D 5E (2024) Sorcerer (Playtest 7)

    This version is way better, though I still mourn the loss of first level subclass. The loss of twin spell shenanigans is acceptable. Yet, I would love to see automatic no material components. And maybe some more spells from cleric and druid that helped build your theme from first level if they...

    D&D 5E (2024) Half Race Appreciation Society: Half Elf most popular race choice in BG3

    Don't feel bad, they aren't actively malicious, just incredibly ignorant and unaware. They wanted to do something nice, but went too far in the other direction.

    WORST Comics Storyline

    It is how some people call the Frikiplaza near the Bellas Artes Museum and The Latinoamericana Tower. Though in fairness it is also neighboring buildings Pikashop, Plaza Athenas and Enercell Plaza. Four towers full of Geeky stuff: videogames, collectibles, trading cards, Japanese food, and even...

    WORST Comics Storyline

    That storyline is partially responsible for my country having a geeky industry. The news coverage allowed comicbook fans to be aware of each other. Thanks to this, they began to make conventions and eventually led to them opening comicbook shops (and now we have our "little Akihabara" which is a...

    Bingo! Also, I'm sure they are well meaning, but IMO they kicked the hornet's nest unnecessarily. The problem was they overcorrecting when wanting to make African Americans more welcome -by fixing the racist legacy lore, which can only be good- and accidentally stepping on shaky ground in the...

    Option B is very problematic because it reeks of the one-drop approach. And it is a bit icky to mixed people to be told we are truly one or the other.

    I thought I was being obvious.

    What is the single best thread of all time?

    I nominate "So long and thanks for all the fish". A ragequit thread that was hijacked by the community and built upon into a very fun (and long) comedy. https://www.enworld.org/threads/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-fish.546123/

    Sarah Silverman leads class-action lawsuit against ChatGPT creator

    It would be even better if copyright is assigned to the people whose work is the basis for the output. Did you use the public domain to train and then your drawing as an input? you get copyright. Did you scrape the web to train and use as an input? now all of those people co-own the image!

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    They got the surname at Tatooine, so it must have been not out of place there.

    His Dad is a Jedi. He is a posthumous child and likely grew up with stories of his Father and his apprentice.

    But I don't see it as "highlighting one at the expense of others", rather as "Unless at least one option is highlighted and given lore, none will get any and none will stand out enough to be noticed by adventure creators." Removing half-elf lore won't make all other mixed-heritage visible and...

    That's precisely what I don't want. I'd be very happy if race/heritage/whatever was purely fluff with no mechanics, provided we'd still have fluff for half-elves/khorovar/whatever-politically-correct-naming-alternative-is-given. I'd be perfectly happy with no specific stats and half-elves being...

    D&D 5E (2024) Half Race Appreciation Society: Half Elf most popular race choice in BG3

    Notice that until that post, I have only used the word heritage and similar words. Only used "race" in response to you using the word "race". To me this has been about ethnicity all along, and even you keep entangling that meaning when referring to real world people. Now, my bigger point. I'm...

    So, let me see if I understood you well enough. "It is fine that you exist. It is fine that you find a community if you have the luck to have others like you. However it is not fine that you find a sense of identity that isn't just a carbon copy of the heritage the dominant culture considers...

    No, but adventure writers have to refer to core books for lore. And if half-elves have no lore in the PHB nor in the MM, where are they going to get lore from? More so since the desing team has boldly called them out as inherently racist? They have started to retcon them out of existing adventures!

    Because it will no longer have a full write up? No associated lore nor even a picture? Only a sidebar at best?
