I'm running D1&2 with a plan to run D3 as the sequel to my Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands campaign. It's a 5e campaign and I'm using the original modules as inspiration but I'm using a lot of it. It's fun and wild how hard it can be to figure out how it all works together. Figuring out where...

I did a spot on my show about the topic. Here are my main points: Gygax made sexist remarks and that sexism and bigotry can be found in early (and even current) versions of D&D. This is what Peterson and Tondro said in their introductions and they were right. Gygax can be (and, from accounts...

Awesome!!

It wasn't normalized at the time. It was a big problem of the time. If it was truly normal, he wouldn't have had to defend himself being sexist and bioessentialist. He was defending his point of view because it wasn't being accepted and continued to defend it up through 2004.

A lot of the arguments I see on this post follow the Narcissist's Prayer by Dayna Craig (changing some of the pronouns): That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not his fault. And if it was, he didn't mean it. And if he...

Right. Let's all cower regardless of what's right or wrong.

Sorry, are you saying that racism and sexism aren't relevant topics today? Can you enlighten me to the rest of the qoute so we have the context?

Is your point that what Peterson and Tondo said is true but they should be too scared to say it? The sheer size and scope of Musk's X is so vast that we must fear its Eye-of-Sauron-like beam hitting us regardless of what is true or what is not?

Thank you!

There’s a third type of folk in these companies and that’s the shareholder profit seekers — often the C Suite — who make decisions, sometimes good, sometimes terrible, that can wreck a product or brand for no good reason. This is the Chris Cocks “all my friends use AI” types who buy E-One and...
