I don't believe in banning old words, just because the Millennial generation have decided to label those old words as "racist" and think it is hip to ban old words so they can keep on churning the English language by replacing old words with awkward sentences so as not to offend the "easily...

Actually I have seen it used. Devils rule the Nine Hells, and Demons live in the 666 layers of the Abyss.

Yes, but so would a dog or a cat! You can have different ancestries within the same race, and different races have different ancestries. To have the same ancestry means you are in the same family, as in brother and sister, that is not a race.

Ancestry doesn't mean the same thing as race. For example, you and I are of different Ancestry but we are both members of the human race.

I would comment, but anything I say, can and will be used against me, it will arbitrarily be decided that it is political, and I will get banned. I don't think what I said previously was political, it was something that happened very close to me and threatened my children's lives, so for me it...

The steppes of Central Asia are wide open and their is a lot of room for a lot of things, given that Genghis Khan was born in 1162, he is not around in 1100 AD, his people have yet to begin their conquests, and with orcs in central asia, they might not ever. I think the Urals is a good place for...

Lets try not to meander into politics. So where do we put the orcs? I think Siberia and the Ural Mountains is their natural environment.

Can't really say anything about this as it might be interpreted as politics, so I am forced to give a weak argument, that if I talk about it, I might get banned. That is a lousy way to win an argument I think.

You are not them! Dungeons & Dragons makes things a little simpler by letting the bad guys be monsters. The way I look at it is that we have monsters in our world, but those monsters look like human beings. It is hard to tell if a person is evil just by looking at them. Where I live, there was...

And what exactly did the French Revolution accomplish? Instead of having a French King, they get a French Emperor that wants to conquer Europe and Russia! Do you know how many people died in the French Revolution and in Napoleon's war? "The total death toll for the French Revolution is over...

Were they? Seems to me that the King of France was supporting the American colonists in their fight against Great Britain and the French Revolution came after that. Marie Antoinette was a supporter of the American cause, even though she was Queen of France, the French Revolution ended her life...

I do have orcs stand in for Mongols, would the Mongols that live today be offended? There ancestors did some terrible things under Genghis Khan after all. to give a more modern example, would Germans be offended today if I portrayed the Nazis as orcs?

In this campaign, "God" is more like the Light side of the Force in Star Wars, the deity does not make personal appearances, mortals have got to solve their own problems, maybe using God as a force to help in this, but they are doing it or not, without the help of angels. Demons and Devils are...

The center of Europe is more exacting than the periphery. Europe is above all a mostly human continent, most of the other races, except for dwarves and monsters living underground, come from some place else. The center of the campaign is in Europe, and Elves brought over renaissance technology...

It is also the term used by secular Muslims and Jews as well as Aristotle. "God" is sufficiently generic to be used on our Dollar bill which says, "In God we trust" Anyway, I am not willing to go through "contortions" just to avoid offending people who may be too easily offended. "Deus" sounds...

That would be interesting, I never published anything before, I am hoping to create a setting which other people will use, if I can find a way to get paid for it, I could work harder on this project and produce a better product ultimately, I think I am at a point here where I'm trying to ignite...

I think "God" is a sufficiently generic name, there is a specific name for the Christian God, "Jehovah", which I shall not use. I think "God" is sufficiently generic without breaking into foreign words, in the 18th century they used the term "Supreme Being", but I think the word "God" is fine.

Peasant rebellions, mostly do not end up with a constitutional democratic republic, most peasants who are trying to overthrow the upper classes don't know how to make a democracy work, and by the way, democracy was invented by slave owners in Athens, it wasn't invented by slaves, peasants, and...

You make a good point. Here's what I can do, I will take the Commoner Spearman, and trade out his feat Animal Affinity for Martial Arts proficiency in a short bow and give him a short bow with arrows for ranged combat, and a longspear for melee combat. The longspear is basically a sharpened...

The chain of causality is clear, if we went back in time to stop the colonization of the New World by Europeans, then the United States would cease to exist and never have been. Do you deny this? How could we have a United States without a North America? How would you get the kings and queens of...
