Nvm, I think I'm mixing up editions, would need to see if 4e had similar det up like 5e where ranged attackers have disadvantage against prone, but if can't be prone in 5e and only 5e has a disadvantage for attacking prone, then is moot.

I'm not sure if a messaging problem, as much as a straight up disagreement. I feel WotC has been clear in their intentions for the 2024 books, and how they are wanting to call them, but a number of people just fundamentally disagree with WotC on how they are choosing to label them. I don't...

People do hmhave differing levels of how seriously they take these games, but I think in this instance it is fair for those who view it as just an elf game to say that to counter what seemed an implied demand that someone who wants to play an elf when not mechanically different to a human has to...

I had one occassion where I got two posters confused, and messaged one as I was confused around the relation between two posts, not realising they were two different posters.

They aren't telling you what to think, they are just requesting you not speak for everyone, you can speak for yourself, but for myself, also been playing Dungeons and Dragons since the 1980s if appealing to that sort of authority, I disagree with your stance and think that if people want to...

Well, you don't need to back up an opinion - I don't think anyone is forcing you to. But people don't have to just accept that either, they can ask for back up, or form their own opinion on any back up or lack thereof. People can agree to disagree, but they don't have to agree to disagree...

I agree with all that, but I don't think all flaws necessarily detract from beauty either, and them not detracting them from beauty doesn't make them a virtue as such.

For some threads, as someone else takes up the torch of one side or the other of an argument (and I'm guilty of this at times), what tends to come to mind is 'A New Hand Touches the Beacon'

I don't think Occam was pushing for the last point - more if your kids were nearsighted, we'd hope that you wouldn't say to the kids 'I'm sorry, you're near sighted, you have a number of options such as glasses, contacts, eye surgery, but if you wear glasses that means you will never be beautiful'

So I think I might understand now, so if I get it right, when you're saying 'it doesn't make sense to me' you are meaning along the lines of, 'I don't like this picture because she is wearing glasses, and if I was in a similar position I wouldn't wear glasses, I would use magic for a longe term...

I somewhat agree, it is a big risk in a risky environment as such. But if grew a bit like mine, with deteriorating over time, can see potential where to begin with glasses helped but weren't required, so didn't carry spare, main glasses didn't get broken at all through a period of adventuring...

In Chaosmancers defense, after reading a lot of both of your posts, your messages very much come across as anyone wealthy enough /powerful enough such as the wizard in the OP wouldn't have glasses, as otherwise doesn't make sense to you, which does leave only those not wealthy enough or powerful...

I reread those semi-recently! Great series, Goblin and One-Eye were very good in it, not your typical wizards :) Held up better than Chronicles of the Raven did when I tried to reread that at a similar time.

Stardust book and movie loosely based on book (both great though), Doctor Who episode, Good Omens with Terry Pratchett, both book and now new series based off book. Maybe I'm biased towards English authors, but Gaiman seems up there with Pratchett for renown as such.

I think it is fair to say 'hey, I've never heard of pineapple on pizza', but I'm not sure so fair to say 'because I've not heard of pineapple on pizza, I don't think many people would have heard of pineapple on pizza'

Well, strong hints that Gollum killed / ate babies...

To me that only works if the consumers are a monolith as such - otherwise what one consumer wants to hear may be what another consumer doesn't want to hear - hence the divisive opinions people have around various things, such as 4E, 5E2024 etc - while consumers have mixed opinions, I don't think...

In the second to last play post, it appears journal entry 21 was provided twice, and journal entry 19 missing? I liked reading the entries and it felt a bit deja vu :)

Apologies if posted elsewhere, but couldn't readily see, but Edge Studio / FFG have announced an Arkham Horror TTRPG, with starter set coming out in August: https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/arkham-horror-announces-a-tabletop-roleplaying-game/

Just getting a bit confused between these two - you talk about different committees, and under each more people, even people who sit by a door checking badges - isn't that multiple levels as such? If less then 10-12 Westerners, I imagine they weren't all doing the same sort of job / at same...
