I thought it was pretty clear that I was pointing out that you lack information to make the judgment. No one is disputing your "power of the purse".

I think it's interesting that we are to trust an accuser of sexual harassment but we have many people who feel we should not trust the very same person concerning when they think the matter has been resolved.

Or, perhaps, you are in no place to judge whether someone has made a positive change and should leave it to those who are.

And everyone has antisocial impulses that are regulated by socialization. So, there is nothing particularly revealing about any particular person misbehaving being drunk. Their "true" nature is not shown. Their "drunk at that moment" nature is shown.

Which public? The people who witnessed what happened at Paizocon or the internet? Why did you choose what you chose? I am getting weary of individuals on the internet who demand answers for incidents they weren't involved in and for which the parties to the incident have resolved whatever...

How do you know he hasn't made an honest change in his life and the way he treats women? I don't know the guy. This went down in May right? So he's had months to seek counseling, make life changes, etc. How do you know? P.S. If the drunk "you" is the real "you" then we are all rather primitive...

I disagree with how you think inebriation works. The "real you" isn't the drunk you. It is the "impaired" you. If someone behaves awfully while they are drunk and they prove they are capable of not being drunk in the future that is highly significant in how to address how they should be treated...

I believe BJ Hensley. Bill Webb sexually harassed her. I am not attempting to distract from anything. Others have argued that we should choose to believe accusers in regard to sexual harassment and assault to the point of what? Do we have a duty to condemn a person of sexual harassment based on...

It's not complete though. If you identify a particular person as the person who burgled your house then people may very well say, "Prove it."

I am a monotheist and I have played D&D for decades without any concern to the existence of pantheons in virtually every milieu I've played in. I am actually more reluctant to play in a game where a DM would want to use what I consider the REAL religion. It just feels as if it is insufficiently...

Yeah, you would have to go it alone quite a bit. One option: Just Wizards and Bards, rework the spell lists, and make quite a few of the wizards be, occupationally speaking, clergy.

It makes sense if one doesn't like all campaign settings that are polytheistic.

The game rapidly became more complex and an explosion of creativity and experimentation went on before 1st Edition ever happened. I have played 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Pathfinder), and 5th edition. I have also played plenty of other systems. I don't find the latest editions particularly complex. In fact...

Sorry, wrong wording. I'm just trying to get a picture of when you jumped into gaming. Just wondering if there is a generational thing going on here.

I think I would be writing novella length posts to cover all the possible ways you would misconstrue what I say. Essentially, all you are doing now is saying, "I'm right and you are wrong." I'm curious, about how old are you?

Why do you do this? Evidently, you aren't building Straw Men. You are suggesting them with your replies to my statements as you seem to be inflexible in word usage. My use of "organic" referred to my approach to the use of settings and modules. It was not in any way a reflection on your overall...

What has apparently been lost to you are the claims I am making. You are trying to make them fit what you are concerned with which sort of does create a bit of a straw man. I have been very clear. I dislike multiple NPCs in FRealms. I dislike the role of multiple NPCs in FRealms modules. Now...

You have a fundamentally confused idea of what Mordenkainen does. Unless someone is playing earlier in the timeline than is suggested, Mordenkainen has a stronghold called the Obsidian Citadel. He spends a lot of his time there with his gnome buddies and his henchmen. I can't think of a single...

I can do what I darn well like as long as I follow the forum rules. Your post is muddled. Please explain to me how any of my points are undermined by Zagyg having an origin story as a demi-god. P.S. One of the weaknesses in your approach to this discourse is your attempt to ignore context...

Please end the "Dude" stuff. Castle Greyhawk, whichever version you use, is a location and, unless you go with a whole new concept for it, a place of adventure. And yes, it is easily 'ported over into other settings because many adventures in Greyhawk could be easily 'ported over into other...
