    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    I was speaking more to WotC's near-annual Red Decembers, but yes. It is a common American tradition as well.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    That poster's theory is some odd notion that the History book is nothing but a hit piece on all Pre-2024 D&D in order to make the new product appear more palatable. Impressively absurd.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Pre-orders; this is sad

    Ehh. Pinkertons have earned their rep and generally maintained it. But this is off-tangent.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Pre-orders; this is sad

    To attempt to state it a little more kindly... Typically, in my experience, this type of embargo means the product is shipped well enough in advance that, in theory, every retailer may have it at the same time so no retailer has a huge advantage in a locality. In exchange for this bit of...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Pre-orders; this is sad

    While there is a history of this, I sometimes question if there is an institutional memory of such. It seems like too many decision-making heads have been replaced in those years.

    D&D General On Early D&D and Problematic Faves: How to Grapple with the Sins of the Past

    I would argue that - from a use perspective - slavers to fantasy what Nazis are to recent through near future games. I also think, regarding tolerance of problematic issues, we all have differing levels of tolerance based on the medium for a variety of reasons that I lack the skill to put into...

    The AI Red Scare is only harming artists and needs to stop.

    I spent two years in the 90s trying to get someone to turn in the annual paper on truth in with blank pages.

    The AI Red Scare is only harming artists and needs to stop.

    I'm fond of misappropriated.

    The AI Red Scare is only harming artists and needs to stop.

    There's very little nuance to discuss. Virtually none of the training used for these various generative models has been morally, ethically, and in some jurisdictions, legally sourced.

    D&D General New Interview with Rob Heinsoo About 4E

    This is clearly "These are not the droids you're looking for" where Arcana skill is force mastery. Seems really clear to me and I just walked in on this topic...

    D&D General New Interview with Rob Heinsoo About 4E

    Except that's not entirely true. It felt like it in many places, particularly before the Eternal September.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    I mean, we're all our own collection of assumptions that overlap with each other except when they don't. I'm sure he felt it was more than obvious; both within his particular artistic framework and in general.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    I've trying to figure out how to bring this in. This was the first Elmore piece I was exposed to and it was a few years before I caught his general patterns, whereas I presumed female and never really thought about it again until this thread popped up. Had I seen the cover after say, 5 years of...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    No. You cannot conceive of anyone believing the figure is ambiguous. That ain't the same thing by a country mile.

    Okay, you got me. Which identified, non-fictional individual is in the painting. I'll wait.
