    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    It doesn't HAVE to be, but, asides from RL considerations of inclusion, can be an enrichment for a game world. If I create a world, not every place is the same. Maybe it's ok and even the norm for the Deep Dwarfs to live in homo relationships, male couples raising the boys and females the girls...

    Cultural Appropriation in role-playing games (draft)

    Doesn't make it any less ridiculous. As I said, there is a big big difference between dressing up as someone and making fun of someone, and if people in the US can't get that, it is very very sad. It is even more sad if those activists are trying to enforce those weird views on the rest of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    Homosexuality has absolutely nothing to do with pedophilia, nor is it a "fringe" thing. Neither is it ok to call anyone a loser who does not agree to your view of how the game is supposed to be. Just don't go there.

    Cultural Appropriation in role-playing games (draft)

    You know, for all my involvement with "black culture" - my Nigerian ex husband btw begs me to ask you what exactly that is, as there are probably more different black cultures than there are nations in the world - the first thing I heard about "blackface" was when there was all this online...

    Essen Game Fair starting tomorrow need more suggestiosn what to look at

    Well there is always next year :) Today was not as full as I thought it would be, at least not in hall3 where we exclusively stayed. We did check out 7-Wonders Duel, but while the game is fun enough to play, it is slightly too expensive for the amount of material supplied. Maybe if it drops...

    How Do You Get Your Players To Stay On An Adventure Path?

    Could we please stay on topic of how to keep people in an AP and not talk about railroading in general? Because there is a distinct difference to the rails of an AP and what you are doing in a campaign you made yourself. Specifically as it matters where they go in an AP. World isn't changing...

    How Do You Get Your Players To Stay On An Adventure Path?

    Wow yeah...personally I was kind of disappointed for my last batch of RotRL-players not to go off after those other tribes after they turned the AP into an Adventure Loop - as in playing parts of part 2 before finishing with part 1, then go to part 3 and then come back to some of part 2 ;) - But...

    Essen Game Fair starting tomorrow need more suggestiosn what to look at

    It's this weekend, so yesterday was the first day. It is super crowded, more even than last year, and today will be worse, so usually Thursday would be best. I didn't really get to play much yesterday, I was mostly looking at rules. A whole lot of games I found interesting were 3 people and up...

    Ohh yeah, thanks. As we are often only 2 players that's definitely worth looking at!

    Essen Game Fair starting tomorrow need more suggestiosn what to look at

    I have a looong list of games I want to look at. But more suggestions welcome. As we kinda live next door we usually bring home lots of loot. Or if you want a new game looked at let me know. I'll post about what's new anyway (also goes if you are exhibiting and want a game reviewed).

    D&D 5E (2014) Open Interpretation Inspirational Healing Compromise.

    Folks, this thread is about to go the same direction as the other one that was just closed. If you find yourself in a circular argument with someone, just drop it. And, as it seems to need repeating, don't insult each other, don't get into edition wars and don't use loaded terms like "h4ter" or...

    Here Come The PRESTIGE CLASSES! Plus Rune Magic!

    Well, not the first time German is used to name things in fantasy worlds, in some cases in a very very bad way

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    Don't go into edition warring again. The sales figures and other statistics of all the editions are in no way relevant to the topic.

    Here Come The PRESTIGE CLASSES! Plus Rune Magic!

    Don't be condescending. A point can easily be made without insulting others.

    D&D 5E (2014) Survivor: The Other CLasses Vote Em off the Island

    Closing this thread as it is more or less veiled, and in the last post even blantant, edition warring.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    No you do not reply to a mod post. Umbran was making a very simple point in a bit more detail than I would have. It comes down to this - don't tell others what to like and how to play. Simple enough? Thanks.

    Cultural Appropriation in role-playing games (draft)

    I dislike the term in general, but especially in regards to RPGS. In earlier RPGs, the stereotypes were so bad it was sometimes hardly bearable (I was just a kid then and still noticed). But I never once saw them as relating to any real world cultures at all, especially because the stereotypes...

    Pathfinder 1E What Made You Switch To Pathfinder?

    I didn't switch, I branched out. Still playing 3.5 every now and then. And I love all the supplements and think not using them is losing out on options :-)

    Cultural Appropriation in role-playing games (draft)

    This has gone too far into politics by now. Please return to issues in RPGs specifically.

    Paizo Announced Lovecraftian STRANGE AEONS Adventure Path

    Kind of cool, but somehow Pathfinder is going down a path I'm not all that comfortable with. Guess this will be the second AP I'll not place on Golarion if I happen to come across it.
