    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    Thank you, Obryn. This topic is exquisitely frustrating for me and you said what I should have said. Eloquent and respectful. Well done.

    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    Just spitballin' here, but the way I see it is, what is now called race would be called a heritage or ancestry. And that would only include biological goodies. This would remove half-orc and half-elf and other half races -- you would just have orc or elf or whatever ancestry. As for the...

    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    Disagreement is one thing; you'll find it all over this thread. However, I have no interest in going toe to toe with people who dismiss the feelings of others as "misplaced views." Especially people who chime in with pejorative buzzwords. So no, no humility or manners are deserved for those...

    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    As I said farther back, there are people of color posting in this thread. Maybe go back and see what they had to say about this.

    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    Nope, not talking about fictional people. But at least this shows us that you don't understand the discussion or why it's being discussed. This is good! It means you have time to turn back and reread the thread. Hopefully when you come back out the other side, you'll be better equipped to join...

    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    Changing the name of a spell doesn't affect PEOPLE. Race is HUGE because it always has been.

    It's so hard to treat people with respect, amirite?

    Sounds like you missed his point.

    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    What an obnoxious post. Do you not have anything to add the conversation besides a swipe at the author?

    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    There is literally a person of color in this thread explaining why the use of race is problematic, but all you see are a bunch of people saying "nope, not needed" without trying to figure out why this conversation is being had. And stop using "social justice" and "politically correct" as...

    Interesting House Rules - Bonus Action for Skills - What are the Problems?

    Same thing with combat. It's basically just "roll a d20 and decide how you feel about it." Ugh. amirite?

    Interesting House Rules - Bonus Action for Skills - What are the Problems?

    Please explain. Do you have inside information on how much time or thought was put into this specific part of the game?

    Interesting House Rules - Bonus Action for Skills - What are the Problems?

    As with all house rules, I think you should just go with your gut -- if you think it will make your game more fun, do it. Just make sure you let your players know that it's being tested and you all may go back to RAW. A way I could see this rule would be fun is if you're playing a cloak and...

    Lifting and Carrying: Something that makes more sense?

    I have often seen people say that the lifting and carrying rules should increase and decrease quadratically instead of linearly for larger and smaller creatures. Can someone lay this out for me and explain why it's more realistic? Thanks! :)

    Interesting House Rules - Bonus Action for Skills - What are the Problems?

    This house rule would seriously undermine several class abilities, such as the rogue’s Cunning Action.

    Are We Looking At A New RPG Kickstarter Record?

    I was simply responding to your comment, "And considering the fact that he hasn't been on these boards..." I didn't realize that there were all these unsaid caveats and addendums that I was supposed to read into the comment. :)

    What are the DM's obligations of disclosure for sensitive game material? What is "sensitive" game material?

    Unnecessary use of alt-right language. Completely undermines people with PTSD. Post reported.
