Honestly, that would be an interesting setting. I would totally play that.

Offended no. Concerned, yes.

If he didn't make the statement, I wouldn't know he was pushing an agenda and therefore we wouldn't be having this conversation. First, what you do at your home game, if none of my business. If you brought an LGBT character to table at my home game, I would love to see the faces of the other...

Not really. I only just discovered the issue when I woke up this morning.

No. But if you tell a new source that you included the NPC in order to further your ideological agenda, like what happened in this case, it doesn't leave much to the imagination.

If one of the designers tells a reporter that he included the gay dude in order to make a point. The only reason I have any problem with these NPCs inclusion is because Crawford went up and told every he included them in order to push an ideological agenda. Otherwise, I would give him and...

No. That would be equally ridiculous.

That would make sense, except Crawford came out and said that he included those NPCs in order to push his ideology. Otherwise, I would have assumed WotC did it because they thought it made sense for the story. I have no opinion concerning the NPCs, only the motivation behind including them.

Please provide a quote where I said I have any problem with including LGBT characters. I have been explaining my point dozens of times and continue to be misrepresented and my opinions interpreted in poor faith. Let's spell it out: Gay characters/NPCs/whatever: Good Using game to push...

I've explained it three times. If you're interested, look up one of those posts. But no, I'm not arguing LGBT themes/characters is propaganda. I'm arguing the statement Crawford made and motivation behind it were propagandist. I have no issue with LGBT themes/characters, but would prefer if the...

In that case, I would say I have no intention to use D&D to promote anything. It is a game and nothing inside of it should be taken seriously, at least at my table.

OK. Let's try bolThe LGBTQ is not inappropriate for children. Propaganda is. That's fair. I still think the whole, "I show my fact, you show your facts, we each share each other's analysis of them, and together we decide whose analysis is better" is a much clearer, productive way to deal...

What do you mean, exactly? Do you mean showing how heterosexual marriage is somehow virtuous *barf*. Absolutely not. I might show how marrying for money and property, followed by murdering one's spouse could be temporarily advantageous, though, at least before it causes a permanent, generational...

Exactly, everything causes drama. Everything is a possible adventure/complication - so it's almost unrealistic to think that two gay glassblowers (get it?) wouldn't draw attention, or pair of bisexual alchemist wouldn't stir something up.

But individual encounters in 5e are just as challenging if built right. Here's one from last night. PCs are walking down a sandstone hallway when they come to a room. Inside the room, they find a golden sapphire encrusted challis. On the opposite side of the room are three sharks' heads with...

You could almost pull off a party of all monks. Fighter: Open Hand Monk Cleric: Tranquility Monk Wizard: Sun Soul Monk (I would put the Way of the Four Elements Monk here, if it wasn't so terrible) Rogue: Shadow Monk Any Big Bad they face will find him/herself constantly stunned and unable to...

Yeah. Politics has become even more extreme in the five years since I left the US. It drove my crazy in university, which is one of the reasons I now advocate in favor of apolitical entertainment and decided to leave the US after graduation. Now instead of arguing about the use of pronoun and...

You might be right. But why would Crawford need to make such a statement if that was the case? If it's already accepted why congratulate themselves for being politically correct.

They aren't harmful sterotypes, though. They're historical facts that make sense within the context of the world I run. To do anything else would betray the world I've created. As to why I would create this world, I don't know. Maybe I'm a little morbid. If you've read much Jack Vance you'd...

That would be a ton of fun.
