So the secret plan is the total dissolution of society then. You figured me out.

What drastic action do you fear will be taken?

"All of a sudden having" or "finally speaking up about"? If you want statistics, you can look up the statistics posted upthread about the percentage of women convention-goers who have experienced harassment or assault. Probably. But that's not what's happening, you'll note. Heck; you've noted...

All evidence is that, yes, there is a specific problem in the gaming/fantasy/anime/etc. fandom. Nerd hobbies, so to speak. Look up 'cosplay is not consent' for example. The 'facing your accusers' bit is fine if you're the accused and you're in court. That's not what's going on here, unless you...

So let's zoom out a bit, okay? Instead of getting all Zapruder Film on a single blog post, can we acknowledge that there's a rather constant stream of first-hand experiences of harassment, groping, sexual assault, etc. from women gamers? Both in this thread and in others? Not everyone's...

So she's lying and making it all up? That's a pretty hot take right there!

Yeah, certainly no goofier than Simpsons jokes.

Well said.

Savage Worlds seems to fit your criteria.

That's 2e, with its wacky applications of speed factors. 1e acknowledges that the longer weapon strikes first. :)

My face is twitching. I am still traumatized by the 19th-level Dishearten(Aug2)-spamming Psion in my Dark Sun game.

Wow. Lotta guys in here super concerned about teaching women the finer points of persuasion.

Yah, I've played the 'what might have been' game over and over again. Better-presented and better-tested rules, less terrible adventures and marketing ... I hear a lot of stories like this on other forums, too. I'm pretty happy with my group's position because I wasn't a fan of running it, myself.

Oh, I'm not a real fan of 2e, myself. It filed the rough edges off of 1e, yeah, but it made it bland in the process. When I'm looking for a drop-in/pick-up game, I want it about as simple as possible, and that's why I go with BECMI/RC for that.

I ran Phandelver for my 4e group, and after that there wasn't any more interest in 5e. So our conversion experience was "we didn't." This works for me pretty well, since if I want the kinds of D&D experiences 4e isn't great at, I'd much rather run RC D&D anyway. :)

I really don't get what you're trying to say here? It's weird that a response to a post in part about how reports of abuse and harassment in the gaming community aren't taken seriously, is met with a response that amounts to not taking her seriously. Would an article validating what she's...

And so you've taken her story and switched the focus to talk about how she's wronging you. Because, truly, that's the important take-away.

Obligatory "Warlord base class" post. Also, obligatory "More Battlemaster options" post. Also also, obligatory "Please stop with the spells already" post.

I am personally okay with Option 3, as that's how I've pretty much been running the campaign to this point. Extended and short rests work better for these adventures as narrative breaks (for me, breaking them up by Acts) rather than the result of actual sleeping.

I have another one, coming from my players, for Adventure 8. The map and description of the Lance of Trigenes are pretty confusing. Is that brown block in the middle the 'room' or is the whole tower top enclosed? Or is it mostly open to the air, with extra balconies? The thick lines on the...
