If you are feeling specifically targeted by that tweet, then maybe you have some soul-searching to do. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

For something you claimed to not care about, you sure are posting a bunch of lengthy opinion pieces about her qualifications. yyyyup. That's not how fighting works. That's how retreating works. I think you're confusing prejudice or racial animus with institutional racism. These are different...

Nah. "Taken seriously" is only half a phrase. "Taken seriously by whom?" is the question. Again, the point may not be (and probably isn't) to persuade the person you're calling out and convince them of your correctness. Eh, as much as anyone does, I suppose! More than most, I'd even say! More...

You're implying a moral equivalence between the harassing misogynistic gatekeepers he's referring to, and the people who think harassing misogynistic gatekeepers suck. And what he's thinking is probably, "hey the D&D community would be healthier and better off without those folks." Sent from...

Eh, for the most part. On that last point, it's absolutely true that white guys can be the victims of racial or gender-based animus. But I would like to distinguish that point from the overall concepts of institutional racism and sexism. Also, for real, when someone's behavior is called out as...

Hahah, thanks. Yes! There's more purposes to statements than explicitly trying to persuade the person you're calling out. One of those is showing support to other people. No, because that's a myopic view of the purpose of speech. See redrick's post for one example. If someone's being attacked...

Yes! That was my thought, too - this is supposed to be a cosmopolitan city, proud of its freedom, where malcontents and rebels of all sorts head off to. I've been trying! But when push comes to shove and I need a random NPC, all too often it's "Uhm ... he's a goblin!"

Nah. It's really not a hard question, and it's addressed within the paradox itself. Again, nah. I can acknowledge that it's great when people go out and engage. Good on them. The problem is that you're still insisting (a) moral equivalence of all positions, and (b) that the onus of changing...

Karl Popper was on it in 1945. "The paradox states that if a society is tolerant without limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Popper came to the seemingly paradoxical conclusion that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society...

First off - aaa Second. A few quick notes. First, I often see exactly this argument made in bad faith by folks who don't want to change, but also don't want to be called an asshat. Now, not saying this is you, but that's usually where it's coming from. As an example, there's a guy who has...

That sounds like a great idea. Thanks - I'll use that for the next adventure.

This has minor spoilers (mostly descriptions) for an adventure so old it'd be entering college this year. So after wrapping up our delightful 4e Zeitgeist campaign at Level 30, we were all in for something more down to earth and slightly different. I'm running the recently-released Shadow of...

Right now? 5 men, 2 women. 4 of them are straight and married (2 to each other), and 1 is straight and unmarried. My last two players, I dunno - I've never asked. I know they're dating, but don't make any assumptions from there.

Okay! I got some feedback from my players. Most prominent in the negatives? Everyone hated Naval Combat, honestly myself included. The system was overly complex, and not sufficiently enjoyable. It never felt anything other than tacked-on. We tried both the pared down versions and the full...

Something like 3-1/2 years, give or take, with mostly weekly sessions of 3-1/2 hours each. Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk

We did - at least the parts that made sense - although I had to rush it a teeny bit. I am kicking myself for not doing more with all the resurrected Eladrin women now, though I guess most woke up in Crysillyir or Elfaivar so that's probably not as big an oversight as I expected. Morgan, the...

It's like finishing up a great book series - bittersweet. I don't know if any of us were ready to say goodbye to the Zeitgeist campaign, but after finishing Adventure 13 last night, we brought it to a close. I'm planning a sequel campaign in the future, but I want to let the sheer greatness of...

Oh yeah, in my own game, Pemberton/Gradiax blew Harkover/Inacht's cover way back in Adventure 6, IIRC. It seemed like exactly the kind of thing Pemberton would do.

I got my playing-card deck of The Writhing Dark a while back (not the tarot version). Really attractive cards, beautiful wax-sealed envelope. And it came with some postcards that are proudly displayed at my desk at work. I had stopped checking that kickstarter; I figured it had been fulfilled...

Thanks RangerWickett - you are a gentleman and a scholar
