To be honest, I was never interested in the game. I pledged the Kickstarter just to get a copy of the Emerald Dungeon which I know I forgot the actual name of. But the point is that I never really looked into the game and have no opinion on it one way or the other. However, I feel like with...

Okay, I THOUGHT that's what you meant, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for clarifying. :)

Are you speaking of the people that objected that caused the article in the OP in the first place or those that have made their comments in this thread? I can understand those that caused the article, but I think it's another thing entirely to say this applies to the people in this thread. I...

Actually, the AP starts at level 1, though the PCs aren't actually exploring the Planes until level 5. The first few levels are based on the Prime as rumors and strange happenings start occurring [due to a Planar War] as well as the appearance of Outsiders [literally and figuratively] that...

And on an unrelated note, I'm actually kind of enjoying this debate now. :)

Hope you feel better today. :)

Exactly. James Bond has an established pattern of changing actors, but they have always had a similar look. And you were even taken aback by his hair color. I wonder what people thought of the first movie in which James Bond was played by a different actor. I bet there were people unhappy...

So you're trying to say that there are no similarities between fictional characters to real people? Interesting. Well again, you're looking at the differences. I was trying to find more general words to help focus on the similarities, which is why those words aren't the best words to...

I don't like this post. It seems to go away from the point of discussion. No one here is arguing that we don't like the change because we're racist. We don't like it only because it is different than how it was before. And most certainly sexism isn't at play here either. I would have been...

The thing is, Hermione has been played by a single actress, who happens to be white, since the first movie... which happened in 2001, FIFTEEN years ago. I mean, it isn't the same length of time as the seventy years of James Bond, but to me it seems like fifteen years is long enough to set a...

While you are trying to get Max to look at the differences between them, it is also your responsibility to look at the similarities. The point was not whether they were real people or fictitious people, the point was that we have all become accustomed to the person because of the way they have...

Interesting. I hadn't even realized that. Maybe they mentioned it in the movies, but it's been such a long time since I've seen them I honestly can't even remember.

Ouch, that sucks. :( Hopefully by now you're feeling better and perhaps sleeping. I know I just got home a little bit ago after a pleasant day and am relaxing for a short time before I go to sleep. :)

Yeah, these are kind of the reasons why I tried to keep my statements sort of brief rather than going into detail. There's already long detailed threads on these subjects so I figured I don't need to go into long details here. One statements was just sort of the typical Hiver daily update and...

It's funny, I went to see Star Wars yesterday and I thought it was a decent film, though it felt sorta meh to me. So I go to the Star Wars Spoiler thread and for some reason that thread makes me actually dislike the movie a little bit more because not only do I dislike things that I noticed...

Yeah, unfortunately with Islam, things are frequently translated poorly and/or taken out of context. And it is generally these things that are used against the Religion or used to convince people that what they're doing is okay even when it's not.

I am curious as to where this is the case. I know Jesus is mentioned in the Quran at several points and there is anger expressed that Jesus has been taken up as the son of God rather than just the prophet, but I have never heard that Jesus is "the flesh" and "the flesh is God". Not that I'm...

I actually don't mind religion/politics here. I don't go to the other site and it seems like the occasional thread that pops up is easy enough to avoid if I want to. Now if the Off-Topic became almost completely religion/politics then I would mind.

It's because it is primarily about perception. Islam, for example, believes they all worship the same God but that the Jews and Christians are misguided. However, most Christians I'm sure would not believe that Muslims worship the same God as them because their religions are so different and...

Honestly, if it wasn't for this thread, I probably would have forgotten about the whole situation already because this is fairly close to how I feel. :) It is just a play and one I'll probably never see. If it was a movie... I'd probably Redbox it, like I do with most movies. Just because I...
