    I guess that means nothing to me then, because I think sentient beings do just that.

    D&D 5E (2014) People don't read the 5E DMG for a reason

    "Social as a resource" is actually a very intriguing idea. Even the most extraverted extravert needs some "me time" to recharge, if Jungian psychology has any merit (which is does in my training and experience). Even if meritless in real life, modeling it for the game isn't beyond the pale...

    Dragon Reflections #73

    What was wrong with the gameplay? I was only a kid when I played it. so I didn't have the appreciation of nuance in card game design that I have as an adult. Do you know what issue the counterargument appeared in?

    D&D 5E (2024) Comeliness and Representation in Recent DnD Art

    In a multiverse of magic and spirits and souls and reincarnation and infinite existences, it would be nice to have a group that identifies as soulless and just robots (biological or otherwise), not because it's a conscious attitude, but from one of fact. It would be refreshing in a game that...

    I think all three have been concurrent, just that each voice has been louder at different times.

    Nobody is praising the organization of the DMG - in fact that has been the universal thread throughout this thread.

    You would think they would, but they haven't PRed that fact, except for Matt and Deborah. So either everyone is being attentively NDA or they're missing a golden opportunity.

    I have many times from many sources that the 4e DMG was very good. Let's hope they take this opportunity to glean the best of all the editions for the next one.

    Some also dislike it for its radical political connotation from the days of Queer Nation.

    They're insulting to you, but there's always someone out there for which it's their "first time." Besides, I'm sure everyone could use a refresher on the basics every once in a while. That's why I like reading things from the grognard segment - it reminds one of the roots of the game, and not...

    Born from Ice: Stone Age RPG – An Interview With Loren Small (Small Cog Creative)

    One of the adages in Post-Apocalyptic (and Lost Colony) fiction and gaming is "bombed back to the Stone Age." It would really be interesting to see a mash-up/expansion some day that integrates your game into something like say, Metamorphosis Alpha. So many versions of P-A gaming focus on...

    I have just relegated myself to calling it the Rainbow Community as it is a broad spectrum of expression and the history of the symbol of the rainbow flag in Pride celebrations.
