You're wrong Umbran. Sometimes it's not an epic battle between good and evil. Often, people get painted as horrible people on these boards because they don't hold the same opinion. We need to make an effort to see people rather than box them into a shape that they do not hold. We need to see...

Cheesecake in this period practically required stilettos.

Whizbang, I'm not a bad person and I don't think you're a bad person either. I ask that you extend the same courtesy to me, please. Then, go back and consider what you're just wrote to me.

Perhaps you should underline the point or write it in a sentence or two.

I long for the day when I can express myself on this forum without being accused of being a horrible person. I am complaining about modern elements in the game. I'm not trying to oppress people. Please refrain from accusing me of such things, please.

This is a good point. It helps me to understand my feelings about this.

This is also about TNT plunger detonators, heat metal hotplates, museum cafes and gift shops, etc...

That is a good point. Helps me to understand the way I feel about this topic.

Thanks. I might give the organized play a go.

Forgive me sir. I don't mean to disparage a Great Master, such is Boris, but he is more of a Rembrandt than a Michelangelo.

I agree. It's stuff like this that makes me long for Daniel Horne. His heroes were usually wielding acres and swords that were believable.

C'mon Umbran, first you make an historical based argument--that didn't work--so now you're making an ahistorical based argument. Yes, the shoes are anachronistic. But, the entire game is ahistorical, so nothing in it is anachronistic. We don't need 1,000 years of elevated shoe history to...

Yeah, this is the point.

Come on man. You could have chosen a piece by Daniel Horne, Jim Halloway, or even Larry Elmore; but you chose a Boris Vallejo. I don't even think that Boris knows how to paint clothes on people. (Did Boris even do any work for Dungeons and Dragons?) This is just some good old butwhataboutism...

I agree but it would make sense if these divas are visiting the Radiant Citadel en route from turn of the millennium Earth.

Sorry to tell you this Umbran but stilleto heels were not being worn by people in the 10th century.

It's the high-heeled shoe that turns me off. This and the TNT plunger detonators, the museum cafes, the heat metal hot plates. Things are so modern in D&D that I think we could add stoplights, payphones, and garbage trucks to Waterdeep and very few people would make note of it. Maybe it's just...

Is this like a modern setting or something? Looks like Shadowrun. Does Wizards of the Coast own Shadowrun? They really should lean into that property. I think there's a lot of untapped interest in it.

Yes, I can see it, thank you. Why would I see any things I don't believe in. 🙃
