Would you be open to reparations from the UK to Ireland? To India? EDIT: Added India

Oh, I agree that the consequences live on and need to be addressed - its why I have a hard time being cranky about affirmative action even though it can personally adversely affect me. However, you'll note I didn't talk about programs meant to level playing fields. I mentioned (specifically)...

This was among the lessons that I was taught as well, but I think new Progressive thinking rejects the notion. Otherwise we wouldn't still be having discussions about reparations, etc.

I find the Greece situation fascinating - they are the Nevada to Germany's California. It gives a glimpse of "what might have been" in my country.

Of course it does. It's just that serfdom tends to have a more lasting affect.

1. Is it possible to scientifically "prove" (really, model) the criteria for when a person becomes a person? 2. Are all persons automatically deserving of constitutional protections?

If it's scientifically/morally/ethically accepted that the fetus is a person deserving of constitutional protection, it's really not that simple.

I think unequal quitting would result in more long term damage to society. Unequal layoffs end up meaning that the "haves" have jobs. Unequal quitting mean the "have nots" are the only workers.

Thank you all for the recognition that rotten planks are not solely an aspect of the GOP platform. The echo chamber in this thread was getting a little much. Very seriously, all I am hoping for this thread (and the experiment) is that people remember the mote and beam (because say what you want...

Add in the "who gets to quit first" problem, and you have a ready made violent uprising by those still working.

I see this a lot - the idea that the GOP has a monopoly on ideas which can't stand scrutiny is a slap in the face to people that [-]vote republican[/-] don't vote democrat. Please keep that in mind.

Dude, I have no idea why on earth you would let this problem be fixed with a single spell. Your players vastly improved an existing NPC with the necromancer's shenanigans. The party now has a powerful ally, but how long can he stave off the hunger before devolving into madness? I strongly...

I never knew that Vecna was a Russian name.

Do you still have the old DaemonForge content?

I read through the thread, and was mightily surprised that no one asked the following question(s): Do you have the Rules Cyclopedia? More importantly, do you still enjoy reading through it? If you answered yes to that second one then go buy the 5e Players. Seriously - 5e feels more like the...

That sounds very similar to Richard Knaak's DragonRealms books.

To the Aid of Falx might fit the bill.

Add "if someone doesn't intervene, they will achieve their goals," and you can run campaigns for basically ever. Big antagonists can be the hub around which large campaigns revolve, while small antagonists are mainly for side treks, interludes, and the like.

This. Assuming we're talking about high-school bullies rather than little kids, 10 of them will take the lone fighter every time, if they attack en-masse and don't care about individual injuries. Numbers matter.
