I thought that discussion of MToF was no longer part of this thread, but hey, good point! As for the rest of the thread: when someone loves wallowing in misery, leave him alone and let him wallow in peace. Unless, that is, he's wallowing as Performance, and you're volunteering for audience...

If you keep this up, eventually you'll play a halfling who walks across a wasteland to Mount Doom, or an elf who becomes friends with a dwarf, or a woman who fights Nazgul. Or a cleric who hangs out with bandits in a forest and blesses Robin Hood's wedding with Maid Marian. Or, speaking of...

Where by "imagine" you mean "suspend disbelief"? This might be the first time I agree with you on EN World, and it might be the last - so, while the moment lasts, thank you!

Fair enough. Thanks. No further objections.

Zone of Truth and Find Steed are on the paladin list, and not on the ranger list. I'm glad that personality came through. That's my intent: *personality*, as its own thing, not as a property of race or gender. Yuan-ti and Warforged are not among the PHB list of core races, but one of the core...

I have failed at your goals, and at Hussar's goals. I have not failed at my goals. I'm fine with a player saying "My character looks at Boris. What do I see?" Race should be obvious. Sex, with that race and heavy armor, not so obvious.* Hussar wants to know (and be reminded as needed) my...

Are you open to reframing that as tokens vs. no-tokens? or perhaps as a three-way split, (A) spatially imprecise or TotM (B) minis, preferably 25mm hand-painted (c) tokens of any sort, including virtual tokens, on pixel maps, displayed on a screen? Some percentage of the growth in D&D, during...

Add me to the list of people with deep disagreement. If the BBEG makes his big speech, and every other player at the table can guess what my character will say in response, then I have played a consistent *personality*. If, at the same time, each player draws a significantly different...

I pointed out that others have created games with rules-setting separation. I didn't ask any questions about TSR or WotC, nor about Shadowrun, nor about FATAL. When I mention that Toyota makes hybrid-engine cars, that is NOT a question asking why General Motors does not make such cars. Your...

When and where did I ask that? Why are you providing answers, to questions I never asked? Are you doing something other than trolling me? If so, what exactly are you doing?

That's all too plausible. Thanks!

It is convenient, familiar, and comfortable to participants in this thread to line up into "D&D is better with minis!!" versus "D&D is better without minis!" We can supplement that with a side conversation on whether that means figurines on a battlemat, or any kind of token on ordinary graph...

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." The technology of changing the shape of the human body is getting more and more advanced; consider the difference between what's possible today, and what was possible when Gygax wrote 1E. The role of the Divine in that...

If I ran a cleric in typical AL play, I could probably go a dozen sessions, without mentioning anything about worshipping or serving a god. I don't think the other players will care, so long as my PC casts Healing Word when their PCs drop to zero HP. I also doubt that a typical AL DM would ask...

Well, my understanding of "person" is rather broad. I'm not saying that they're all made of meat. I'm just saying, they count as people. I myself am a normal human person, with typical human hobbies such as... um... drinking water. Not to mention glagtery. I had two human parents and they both...

May patience come to you, when you need patience to get through hard moments.

The post where he quoted me in the elf/gender thread, appears on the list of posts which quote me. The post in "Hidden" *also* appears on that list. Could this be the visible-to-me outcome of a post in a friends-only thread?

Did Eric and his DM use miniatures, to play out Eric's assault on the gazebo, and the gazebo's response? Did the players in the Head of Vecna incident need minis to establish relative position while one of the PCs cut off the other's head? Did the player who delivered the Powder Keg of...

You can tell the story of Eric and the Dread Gazebo, or the Head of Vecna, or the Powder Keg of Justice, without miniatures. I see that as evidence that miniatures are not at the heart of the most awesome moments in D&D.

Reviewing the list of posts which quoted me, I saw this: "08:12 PM - Yaarel quoted Riley37 in post Hidden" I asked Yaarel, and he does not have a record of making a post at that time. He says he post-quoted Hussar around 8:15, in a thread on gender-swapping elves in MTOF. Also, when I copied...
