I guess I'm just tap toeing around the issue. I've never actually seen any evidence that any RPG books were ever evocative to start off with. At their best they are like lollipops. Sugary and sweet without any real sense of substance to them. Then again I'm a fairly abnormal reader.

Honestly Gygax couldn't write very well. Most of the stuff I've read of his tended to contradict itself every other sentence which makes reading his stuff headache inducing. If they write them like older editions yeah because no one in their right mind writes like that. I was reading some old...

I'm referencing good old Gygaxian D&D though.

Too late. Its all ready evolved in a crazy insane way. In fact I wonder if Gygax was even aware that his game inspired entire cartoon series that remains relatively well known to this day. In fact I'm not entirely sure why Wizards of the Coast just doesn't go for it and try and retrofit Record...

I betcha more people know who Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim is than any Lord of the Rings character you can name is. Its also really bizarrely remarkable that D&D didn't actually latch onto him but it probably has to do that it actually entailed knowing about history...

Except for the fact that the older fan base is far more volatile, abrasive, and even abusive than the newer fan base. I generally find it hilarious that people will whine and complain about what are generally the most inconsequential of things like Dragonborn.

Bigby?? Rigby??? Medium Rary??? Jim Ward spelled backwards??? Anagram of Vance??? Someone whose last name is Kas???? Gygax spelled backwards???" Drizzt Do'Urden ???

You transparently don't watch many kids cartoons do you. I can beat death, violence, hatred, passion, love, and sex without even batting an eye with the only cartoon show on television that actively references D&D. All Heroes of the Feywild did was make me realize how much D&D rips off actual...

Yeah on a fundamental level the rarity system is just to appease people whose preconceived knowledge of fantasy abruptly stops at Tolkein. One of the greatest wizards in all of fantasy was a Tiefling.

Tieflings conceptually are far more common than anything you can find in the original player races so they aren't exactly that exotic.

You do realize that using healing powers outside of combat is still the most efficient way to heal right?

Well the guy did single handedly come up with a great way to alienate a large percentage of the fan base with one of those articles.

No. I'm just know how to use the correct terminology instead of spouting off "its biology" like someone whose never taken a biology class.

So what you are claiming is that a women who is fundamentally equal in every regards to a male is treated worst despite their being on equal footing is a genderless society.

No you can't moronically play the "humanoid" card when the games effectively include lizard people, dragon people, insect people, cat people, and a bunch of made of fantasy people. That and I would actually expect the Thri Keen to consist entirely almost of females if you actually knew anything...

Its stupid because you are attempting to interject human dimorphism in a game in which clearly everything isn't human. Seriously have you ever actually used your mind for a second and thought about the ramifications of this. Nature is full of contradictions and sure as hell there are numerous...

When you are in a game where you are effectively encouraged and allowed to utilize any power whether it be PC or Monster when designing a monster it kind of makes you look like you have no idea what you are talking about. By the rules of the game any monster can wipe marks. There are more...

Yeah I'm really quite interested with how much 4E KarrinsDad claims to have played with all these non examples and poor understanding of mechanics. Just as a side note there is nothing stopping a monster from stealing player powers. In fact it was something they actively encouraged within...

My one friend used a conjuration to go fight off the monsters while he effectively retreated. Have you actually played this game? Its kind of clear that you don't even know the baseline mechanics. Have you actually used ENworld much? Its kind of clear that you don't even know the rules about...

You probably haven't picked those books up in a while. The older AD&D DMG I had started off with a :):):):)ing math lesson. Hell at one point it even states you are an idiot if you play the game a certain way. That sounds a lot like railroading.
