    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    It's a strawman because you are presenting a version of the opposing argument that is easy for you to knock down. "There is no pleasing this particular crowd." Not to mention that this isn't a good faith presentation of their position. It's a slippery slope because you are assuming that...

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    And the strawman fell down the slippery slope.

    Here's the Cover of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: Soulbound: Shadows in the Mist

    I am actually referring to the lady on the far right with the staff. The ornament on top of her helmet is just astoundingly huge.

    Vampire the Masquerade - 5th edition or V20

    I think V5 has made some pretty necessary changes to the lore and how the world of Vampire works, and I feel like it brings it a bit closer to what Vampire has always supposed to have been about. The books spent so much time talking the talk of personal horror, but when they walked the walk with...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Level 20 Class Would Win?

    The answer is... A fighter. With Daern's Instant Fortress and 20,000 gp worth of the best hirelings money can buy. Come at me bro.

    D&D General Alignment in D&D

    ...Outlawed for... robbing the rich and giving to the poor, perhaps? I wouldn't really consider the people of Nottingham to be a political ally per se. They don't have any real say in how they are governed, and are more or less the property of the landowners. Their ability to influence...

    D&D General Alignment in D&D

    He is however, working outside the system. He isn't gathering political allies, he isn't using the church, he isn't using his status as a noble heir... He is attacking traveling nobles to take their wealth and distributes it to the poor. This isn't going to end feudalism, nor is that his goal...

    D&D General Alignment in D&D

    The Punisher is kind of a moving target. He can be Good, Neutral or Evil depending on who is writing him.

    D&D General Alignment in D&D

    The system I was referring to was Feudalism, for the record, but whatever works.

    D&D General Alignment in D&D

    I have always held Robin Hood as the quintessential CG character. While both LG and CG characters can challenge unjust laws, LG tend to prefer to do it within the system. For example, they might leverage pressure using the church, or through diplomacy. When those avenues have been exhausted...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e Darkvision A Good Design?

    I find it odd that Drow, as written would still use light on a day-to-day basis. They see in darkness as dim light, which is to say, with disadvantage... which seems odd for the subterranean race that tends to use darkness to their advantage. They even take daylight penalties, which seems like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Neil Gaiman Wrong?

    Going back to the original Gaiman quote (teaching children that dragons can be defeated) I strongly agree with that. I don't really see the point in a dragon that cannot be defeated. Sure, there are things out there that cannot be defeated. The same should be true for stories as well, but I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is there even a new D&D setting?

    I am starting to think that the new setting will be something we haven't seen before. We have a new generation of D&D players now, and many of them only know about these settings we are talking about second-hand. They have seen what productions like Acquisitions, Inc. and Critical Role can do...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is there even a new D&D setting?

    Dragonlance has always been fueled by the novels, but we haven't seen a new Dragonlance novel in quite some time. I checked Wikipedia's list of Dragonlance novels and the last published DL book was a new edition of the Dragonlance Legends Trilogy in 2011. It's a bit of a dry spell. Forgotten...

    D&D 5E (2014) Professions in 5e

    So, back to the lawyer example... I am not sure that having a Profession (Lawyer) skill is really all that it's cracked up to be. There are lots of different aspects of that profession that might call for different ability scores. Doing research for a case might be an INT check. Pleading your...
