    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Wait, are you guys on the other side of the pond still holding on to the thought of eradicating it in North America? No one, really no one in all of Europe still entertains dreams of eradication in Europe being even remotely possible. Everybody agrees that it will become endemic with a couple...

    D&D General Inherently Evil?

    Was it? Wasn't only the prime material plane explicitly made of of the building blocks from the inner planes and the outer planes were made of pure alignment/belief that just mimicked the properties of the true material from the inner planes?

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Denmark just revoked their freedom day, which they announced after 86% of the eglible population was vaccinated. The freedom lasted ~2 month and now they are at a infektion rate of 263/100k. I fear 90% won't make much of a difference In Germany it's a mess right now. Some states are in full...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Yes, but that's the choice of the friends who decided they want to be un-vaccinated. If they decided that they are fine to live with the risk, I may voice my concern once, but at the end of the day respect their choice. If they decide they are not afraid to meet with me despite them being...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    That got me interested, I like to read XKCD. Google actually quickly brings it up. However it's not on their website but was only in one of their books. Since the link leads to a scan of 8 pages from the book on Imgur, I am not sure it's something that should be posted here. Just google "what...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    That's also not what he said. It doesn't need to prevent you from ever catching the germ to do enough for you to no longer have to walk on eggshells. If the vaccine is decreasing the chance to get it enough coupled with when this fails also enough decreasing the chance that it will get serious...

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    What? That's like saying "if your heart starts burning you'll probably die" Frost burn will kill you just as burns do. It's even classified with the same 4 categories from First to Fourth degree. In both cases forth degree with damage your muscles, tendon, and bone. Get enough of your skin...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Debate of "Canon" in D&D 5E

    Which is completely wrong. At the end of 4e and 5e people argued for keeping 4e canon even though they disliked a lot of it. The camp of "I hate the Spellplague and wished it had never been done, but since it's done it's done and should not be retconned" was sizeable

    D&D General A weird idea for a setting where raise dead/resurrection is used for finite death sentance punishment

    Well, if there's a very real risk of them not being able to bringing them back, then they're already morally worse than the criminals for passing and executing such sentences in the first place. So welcome to the Bad Place my dear judge, jury and executioner. Should have thought about your...

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    Well, that is what the designers did. There's no thought given to world building, just made up cost that sound right for PCs to pay without any regard to how that would work on an NPC economy.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Debate of "Canon" in D&D 5E

    Then you missed all the "fighting" over at Candlekeep when 4e was at it's end and it was yet unclear what 5e would do. Retcon or just march forward and repair A lot of people who hated what 4e did were still adamantly opposed to the idea of 5e maybe just doing a retcon. They'd rather keep...

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    Subjective indeed. F&A and co barely scratch the surface. If you take out the space "wasted" on game rules like spells and specialty priests, they barely have a single page for each major religion. Even if you were to collect all non-rules stuff over all the different splatbooks, you'd probably...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Denmark abandoned all Covid meassures with their "freedom day" in early september when they were at ~85% of eligible people (~73 is meassuring total population). Since the end of Semptember their rate of daily new infections per 100k has been skyrocketing and is not again nearing all time high...

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    Would be the first religions in D&D to be fully described. Not even the religions of major faerunian deities that are part of D&D since 30+ years are fully described

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    There must be some. At least the German RKI, and I also believe the EU EMA, changed the recommendation to follow a first shot of AZ with a second shot of Pfizer or Moderna. It's seen has being more effective. They changed the official recommendation in July or August already

    D&D General The Role and Purpose of Evil Gods

    There are, directly after the deities name. Auril is goddess of winter, etc. Nature and tempest are just the best fitting domains out of the only 8 available at the time of the PHB. The PHB also says: As a result, there’s a great deal of overlap in their portfolios: Pelor is the Flan god of...
