You may have bulldozed a response through without reading the initial post thoroughly enough.

"Compose a dwarven funeral song." Dwarven Funeral Song: "Stone's Embrace" Verse 1 Beneath the mountain, cold and deep, Where shadows in the caverns sleep, We send our kin to earth and stone, Their journey ends, but not alone. Chorus Rest now, O brother, in halls of old, Where the fires burn...

I see that this is important to you. I'm not going to pretend that I understand why this is important to you. As has been demonstrated by many, there are in-game explanations that make a lot of sense, and are easily adaptable to many... ideologies? Is that the right word in this situation? Maybe...

Well, that's possible. What I'm saying is true though. If stating a fact makes someone angry, then the problem doesn't lie with me does it? If folks can't discuss facts without making it personal, where does that leave us? Actually, let's not call it a 'fact'. Let's call it 'my opinion'. I...

You also understand that I defend you on these boards frequently, despite my equally frequent disagreement with your positions? As well... when not many others do? That won't stop, despite the result of this disagreement. So have at it!

If a thing is a thing, it's okay to say it is that thing. You might not like it, but that's okay too. Emperor's new clothes, etc.

Look, I'm glad the 1E works were written in this manner. They did lend a kitsch and... imbue a curiosity? I don't know. The style added to the product in some way. But there's no pretending this was quality writing or denying what the provenance of the style was.

Okay. Do you have a better term for what was happening here? It was what it was. Sugar-coating it isn't going to make it less goofy, nor is it a kindness to do so.

I don't think any less of you! I just don't like the way this board feature works. Don't worry about this discussion, or any head-butting that resulted from it. Being a fellow insomniac, I sincerely hope you get some sleep soon. I know @Imaro would appreciate being unblocked, but that's up to...

Yeah, this sort of response to an argument isn't great behaviour in my opinion. It's a flaw in this board's implementation of the ignore feature... again, in my opinion. It encourages passive-aggressive behaviour. Because one person gets something up their nose, now someone else has their board...

A sane mind doesn't support it! :p It did have its charms though. As goofy (and a little bit awkward and pathetic... in that 'I hear using big words makes me sound smart' kind of way) as it was, that writing style did pull you in to the magical world that was being laid before you.

Are you advocating for a return of Gygaxian Purple Prose?

That video is one hour and 19 minutes long. Do you think you can do a better job than that of summarising your point than posting a link to a video (especially of that length)?

So what is the real world problem you think is going to result from what you're concerned about?

Honestly, I think this post is a Category 5 overreaction/conspiracy theory. Outright hostility towards DMs? I can't even begin to fathom where you're going with this.

The attached post is actually a quite thoughtful think about how AI is used in RPGs. It's worth a read. They are against AI-generated art. I understand the gesture here, but I don't think it's feasible. People gonna be people, and will default to the easiest path. AI-generated art will get...

Okay. Can you explain a real world motivation for Hasbro to steal their customers money in this situation? And maybe explain how it would even be possible to keep that money without delivering the product that was paid for? Maybe you're suggesting this is a bait and switch, where they offered a...

I find trying to understand the psychology behind these posts fascinating. It makes no sense, yet there it is. I mean, it's real people feeling real anger... you can't just cavalierly dismiss it, there's a human being behind it. But wow... It's like a built-in suspicion of what... authority...

In your heart of hearts, you genuinely think they were trying to steal from their customers?
