"Stop bludgeoning your players with that spiked club" Honestly, it was that I should realize not all of my players enjoy the same things and I should learn to incorporate as much of their varying play styles into my adventures as possible. Some like roleplaying or others like rolling dice to...

It may seem so on the surface, but I have a friend who is an author who might disagree. However, giving your friend a copy of a book you made may technically cross over into copyright issues but unless your friend decides to sell your gift on eBay there isn't really going to be an issue.

Lending it to a friend or member of your gaming group won't get you in trouble. Making a copy for all of your friends probably won't either because who is going to know? Making it publicly available is where it gets sticky. It's a question of how tolerant the owners of the copyright are. Comic...

First, I wasn't justifying racism and if you think I was then you are wrong (if you weren't accusing me then that's fine). Second, maybe casually was the wrong word, perhaps unintentionally or oblivious to the possible racism would have been more appropriate, but they certainly weren't being...

That's a stretch. You are passing judgements on people involved in older versions of the game with no real evidence for your claim. There may well be parts that, with the modern eye, now appear to be racist but that doesn't mean they were intended to be such. Times were different and while...

Because people care about all kinds of things, some silly and some not. Just look at how people react when a sports team changes its name. People who are attached to the old name freak out and those who think it should change will defend their point of view without considering the other guy's...

That's pretty damn cool.

My first time was as a player but I have no idea how experienced the DM was so I didn't vote in the poll. I was pretty young. It was in the late 1970's, no later than 1980, and I didn't really know much about D&D at the time. A friend from school invited me to play with a group of his friends...

I had a D&D player who loved using rope. He was always getting the group to tie themselves together to avoid getting lost, slipping off a cliff, etc. It didn't always work out the way he envisioned.

If it works for them that's great but I have had some perfectly competent players try their hands at running games and, well, let's just say they are still perfectly competent players.

I don't play D&D anymore but this seems to be the answer. When I started playing we switched off who was the DM, if no one was the DM we couldn't play. Pretty simple. Over time some gravitated more towards the role and were better at it and now, 40 years later I DM more than I play. I started...

I suspect this would be the view at my table as well. RPGs are really my hobby, everyone else in my group just enjoys playing. I generally buy most, if not all, of the books and am the only one who spends any time on message boards or reading about the hobby in general. Even the other GM...

Can you elaborate on that?

I'm fine with gaming companies abandoning the word race but after playing RPG's for 40 years getting me to stop using the word will be difficult. Don't really care for species though.

Maybe if some private equity firm buys Hasbro and saddles it with billions of dollars in debt forcing it into bankruptcy (Toys R Us). Even then they would only kill it for a little while and eventually they would sell everything off to squeeze out the last little bits of profit. Then the future...

Nobody, including Elon Musk, needs an Elon Musk.

When a mommy god and a daddy god love each other.... In my settings I generally have them having always existed, but I think being created by belief is a perfectly fine and could probably lead to some interesting stories to base a campaign around.

My personal preference is fewer, my homebrew game only has three. However, that could change depending on the setting. I think settings like Spelljammer and Planescape benefit from a wider variety but not too many. I don't play D&D anymore but even in games not set in my home brew setting I...

Never since I relish killing my players well before then. Mwa-ha-ha ;)

If this ends up being the new model, and I suspect it will, the fault lies squarely with the viewing public, Zaslav is just taking advantage of it. There will likely always be high quality shows and some streaming services or TV networks will be more intellectually engaging than others but how...
