I think it's a bot. So... Could you tell me something new, that I haven't heard from you yet? Oh, what a fruitful conversation;-)

You Should Avoid Capitalization.

Ok.

If Darkness = Evil, how do you explain all the creatures with Darkvision? Huh? HUH? You can't. BOOM. Mind blown!

In before bad satire! Oh, no. Too late.

"Again, if a good-faith critique seems totally asinine, you’ve probably misunderstood it." None of the critiques in this thread are asinine. I certainly think some are wrong- or at least not adequately proven - but that's a very different thing. I would never call someone's honest convictions...

Add the magic bonus to appropriate Charisma checks. Magic armour looks awesome!

"The less we objectified women, the more women started gaming. Gee, who would have thunk?" Correlation does not equal causation. There may be less objectification BECAUSE more women are playing, and it's easier to sell them books if you don't offend them. Never ascribe virtue to what can be...

That may not be what you are concerned about Charlaquin. But there seems to be quite a multiplicity of takes going on here. Which makes for an interesting discussion!

"Because if that were true, then if when D&D came out all the art depicted gay black people and not white European male heroes with scantily clad women, none of these same people making that argument would have played it to begin with." Interesting theory. Why do you think that?

If we are concerned that having a dark-skimmed imaginary race in our fantasy game leads to real life racism, we are basically proving that the "D&D is a satanic influence" people in the 80s were right. Either people can separate fantasy from reality, in which case this argument is irrelevant...

"No. It's connecting ethnicity with morality that's the main issue." Fair. So the skin colour of the Drow, is actually irrelevant to the problem, correct?

"He just wants to avoid social media falling on him like an avalanche." And you think a positive purpose would be served by said avalanche?

Would Drow have been acceptable if absolutely nothing about them was changed except that their skin colour - from inception - had been silver?

"Okay but will he backpedal on Cattie-Brie’s whole “it’s good, actually, to murder children” thing?" I have a much easier time believing children are inherently evil than Drow.

It started with the evil Vizier (never trust a Vizier!) gloating that he had outmaneuvered the PCs in the Royal Court and now they were helpless to stop him from starting a civil war. Helpless! Then the dwarf said " F*** it, let's do him." and leaped across the desk screaming and swinging an...

It's page 32 and 33 of Open Grave.

"In older D&D books the person behind the screen is often called the Referee" Which books?

No excuse for not reading the whole thread. If you skip all the parts where two people start doing a line by line "refutation" of each others posts ... and the parts where the arguments revolve around "Why did you say that?/I didn't say that./So you admit you said that!" ... and the parts...
