If you do, I'll take one of the extras off your hand for $10-$15, just to lessen your personal losses, because I'm friendly like that.

I get that it isn't free. That's why I'm not asking for it for free. I'm willing to pay for product, but that product must be reasonably priced, and the seller must not be asking me to pay for something I could google for free (the names) or for something I already bought (a situation faced by...

I already do that.

They were clearly Trolling by publishing that book.

I'm one of the posters who's bemoaned the lack of additional options, and this book looks like it isn't worth $50. There's no irony involved there. Every $50 book so far has been about 300+ pages. To be expected to pay the same price for a book roughly 33% smaller is irrational. As to the...

True. Fiscally indefensible would be more accurate. There are so many free sources for names from other cultures that it's laughable to pay for a list of real world names when it's so easy to either directly look them up online or (for those who prefer no digital presence at the table) compile...

Can't people both vote with their purse and textually express their displeasure on a forum? Aren't forums explicitly for airing one's opinions?

Assuming the PCs have some means of understanding the language being spoken, such as a Comprehend Languages ritual, you shouldn't need to do the clicks. Presumably, the clicks have an actual meaning in the language that would be translated by the ability to understand the language.

I'm sort of saddened by all the "if you look for things to offend you, you'll find them" comments. While the statement is true on its face, its use here also looks very much like it's being used to dismiss the thoughts of others as provocateuring by people desiring to get offended. Even among...

There is no limit to how vehemently I disagree with that statement.

I'm glad the price went down. The book just doesn't seem like a $50 value. I don't need the real world names. It's tremendously easy to google those. I frequently use Behind the Name for names from other real world cultures. As for the SCAG reprints, I never bought the SCAG, and I don't...

No. Better in the sense of providing actual advancement in both classes. With 3e style the closest you can get to parallel advancement is to ping-pong back and forth when it's time to choose a new level.

Agreed. Have to disagree. 2e era multiclassing is worlds better than 3e-style multiclassing. The only thing 3e multiclassing did better than 2e multiclassing is represent picking up that first level of a second (or third) class later one. Actual multiclassed advancement was far better under...

Agreed. Sort of like watching an all-male panel discuss female reproductive rights.

I'm not a person of color. Also, while I purchased ToA, I have yet to read it through (I'm still working on converting the Yawning Portal adventures to my Tenesia setting, and I've been dealing with a doubled-up class load and providing home hospice care for my father). However, I did read the...

No problem. Lord knows I sure miss 2e-style multiclassing though. I'm glad it's an option for people who like it, but god I hate 3e-style multiclassing, and prestige classes.

AD&D 2e players probably expect multiclassing as well.

Better? That's too subjective. But, if we assume that each flavor has its own unique appeal, and that it also has some additional appeal that overlaps with that of other flavors, then each added flavor adds at least a fraction of its total appeal to the overall appeal. As an example (using...

May be true (I've never read those books), but Gandalf's a plot contrivance, not a wizard. He's DM ex-machina come to save the PCs from death. Except for when he's actually around, then he's just a stoner who shops in the Norse myth version of Hot Topic and likes to occasionally set things on...

1s sounds a little too punitive to me. If I used a rule like that I'd go with the average, rounded down. So a d20 off the table would be considered a 10.
