I am curious at "extremely specific" in this context.

Lord Soth. History's most powerful incel.

That people this inept at running a business manage to keep plugging away for years is either the greatest evidence of the promise of capitalism or the strongest indictment that it is pure hokum. I can't decide which.

Good for you :)

I also thought that way until i got one. Saves so much table space for me as a GM.

I love this. Another great onramp method to encourage people to join the hobby.

I would dearly love to find some use for the dead CCG cards I have stored at my parent's house.

Plenty of "lesser" debilitations that Permanent Insanity when you hit zero. Indefinite insanity can last months of in game time, with some sidelining a PC in a care facility.

To each their own.

I have, but not too deeply. Didn't care for the rules changes or settings changes. A big part of the appeal for me for VtR 1e is the setting. I honestly prefer it to the backstory bloat that is VtM. And 2e onward feels like increasing bloat and rules complexity. I have a good collection of 1e...

I enjoy V:tR, the first ed.

Birthright. Develop it as High lvl/Kingdom running rules.

Just feel the fighter covering both Str and Dex concepts makes less and less sense to me as time goes on.

My big change, off the cuff: Remove spellcasting from the Ranger base class. Beef up the Fighter non-combat features to be in line with the Rangers. Retool both Fighter and Ranger so Fighter is expressly the Martial class based on STR and Ranger for DEX.

You would be hard pressed to find any period of history in which bigotry, cruelty and oppression are not normalized towards some segment of the population. You can certainly feel free to downplay or ignore these elements if that is what will make your table comfortable. A frank discussion during...

Same. Feeling super dirty. But it does emphasis an important point: This is happening because base, eager bigotry is not profitable for a large corporation like Hasbro. And while corporate diversity efforts are nearly always calculating, slick and honestly disingenuous, this is movement towards...

I'm sorry. I feel you are missing/overlooking my point previous. Racist stereotypes are not restricted to physical traits. They also speak to behavior. That a given person can not help their actions due to their race is a key feature of racism. Really of all bigotry. So we get that Latinos are...

Part of the objection is simply that biological essentialism when it comes to behavior is in essence the basis of racism.

It's also worth noting that this is not in fact a new issue. Grappling with or gleefully ignoring the moral implications of violence are as old as RPGs. Keep on the Borderlands has non-combatant women and children peppered among the various orc/goblins/ect found in the caves that the PC...

So this is of course a proper hornet's nest but I am curious about one factor. In Tolkien's cosmology, do Orcs have souls? As in, are they complete, living beings, or are they just flesh machines? In DnD, to the best of my knowledge, Orcs have souls. Orcs have Gods. Orcs are judged upon death...
