Something else, take care of yourselves. A lot of us don't eat well, exercise or treat out aliments. We can get away with this for a little while when we are young but time catches up to all of us. Don't be the lost friend whose lost could have been prevented.

Makes me think of a game I was running some years ago. A regular player of mine showed up a bit down on his luck and not having eaten. Now this player was far from a friend of mine, just a gaming buddy. Seeing as I had a bit of extra money at the time I bought him lunch. This was a once off...

Half Elves fix so many warlock problems, +2 Charisma, +1 to whatever (usually Con) and 2 extra skills. For the curious having a bit of time on my hands I actually built the L20 warlock I mentioned above and it came out as a combat creeper build (all social skills, insight, investigation...

Its absolutely fine to keep playing a setting until it stops being fun . At that point its time to make changes. In fact D&D or TTRPG's themselves are that rare gift, a hobby that brings people together be enjoyed from childhood to old age , played everywhere and anywhere for as long as...

I don't think its all that great but it has its own niche and wouldn't be bad if you are trying to capture some of that bardic jack flavor. I oculd also see using with a Gish Warlock say Fighter 7 with Champion 6 Warlock and 7 Artificer/Armorer levels . This would give you a character with...

Because clerics are fun to play. Sure they may not excel in every area but there is plenty for them to do both as support and as a solo.

Warlock if you want to feel like a shadowy caster with strange powers, a strongly combat focused Gish or want to have at will abilities beyond cantrips . Its also a nasty ranged caster when you do the eldritch blast, eldritch spear, spell sniper thing. Sorcerer is when you either want an easy...

I run and play in both but have a preference for grounded.

Nicely cynical Whizbang :D

As always with 5E the art is good. I do like having many "themed" subclasses like this so you could have say a draconic disciples party sorcerer, monk, ranger and whatever else whose patron is a good dragon. These do seem a bit strong though not to excess and the monks draconic aura ability...

Welcome to the board.Hope you'll join in. Have your first like too.

I highly appreciate that you are trying to communicate your point openly and honestly and I do understand your POV and I think I am decently educated in that value set, its simply not one I agree with for the most part. There is a great deal of ideological diversity in this hobby after...

Ah OK, thanks! I was off by about 10% or so. Doesn't actually change anything though. The US had a radically different culture and assumptions and no Internet to speak for anyone really of or computers for many maybe most people. Old World, Old Rules, New World, New Rules. You had just...

80-85% of the population of the US was White of European origin in the early 90's and such art would have increased the setting appeal. Hot blond paired with First Nations a group with some cachet at the time would mean more sales. What younger people especially academics don't get is back...

Whitewash is a political term and may not even be wrong, True Religion is objective in that setting and to I don't know most of humanity who won't find it a problem either so no its not objective.

I'm liking this because its correct though I didn't mean it literally. There are however methodologies that allow for broad sampling of opinions, Find enough First Nations Gamers and poll them and you should have a representative sample that says its offensive or not. It won't be easy as that...

On a personal level, I am in a mixed marriage and my children are multi-heritage. Meaning that while many of the issues that get talked about might not specifically, directly impact me, they do impact my family on a very personal level. Additionally, I have lived as a minority for most of my...

My gaming buddy back in the day was like this, a full member of the Dakota Sioux and I'd seen the tribal papers. Frankly most of us just thought it was cool but it didn't really matter. He was a gamer and a friend and a pretty good DM too boot. That is what mattered and in our tiny niche hobby...

Ah yes, I'd mercifully forgotten that phenomenon. Its White Man's Burden BS the soft paternalism and bigotry of low expectations and these days highly suspect as racist too. And note this doesn't apply at all when someone is asked to help or be an ally of said group or has roots in that...

Let me ask this, who gets to decide what is offensive or what the reasonable person might think. Reasonable people probably don't play D&D. Also what happens if the response is 51% , I don't care? Do all the people complaining have to go away? BTW I don't think "I went to Uni." is a valid...
