Isn't this whole thread about with or without breasts? What is the third option?

I guess that it matters one way or the other.

However, when something and its counterpart both have good arguments for and against it being sexist, I think the only reasonable thing to do is to assume good faith and move on. One way or the other, a decision has to be made. If it was the opposite decision, then people would just as...

What I find really funny about this topic is that this exact same thing is happening in the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion. Numbers are being scaled down dramatically in order to create a more linear curve. Now, power levels in WoW aren't changing, so there's no effective difference. But...

I probably wouldn't use a baby. What would really interest me, as a player, would be how all these avatars react to being what they are. You don't get that if you start everyone too young. I'm thinking, for example, the orc avatar leading a horde of orcs, the avatar of a god of secrets trying to...

For the record I wouldn't expect a PC to kill anything (fire snake included) unless they were engaged in some nefarious deed. My games often feature negotiation between PCs and evil individuals or groups, brokering whatever deals they can to avoid open combat. But, then my favorite campaign...

That's because fire giants are human-looking so one expects the same kind of life cycle from a fire giant as one would from a human. That would create all kinds of baggage about what it means to be a "baby" as you put it. However, there's no such thing when we're talking about the life cycle of...

But, you could do some really neat stuff. Imagine an adventure with a former priest of Imix trying to create demonic salamanders out of fire snakes in order to gain favor with a power of the Abyss. When the PCs go to investigate, they find that the fire snakes have escaped and now they have fire...

Can you export to PDF, and if so how does the PDF look?

So, if you don't care about baby X it's okay to kill. I think at this point, your proposition that its never okay to kill a baby doesn't hold up since we've found a baby you don't care about killing. So, I guess the only question left is what makes you the expert on which babies its okay to...

I think what this shows is that there's a sliding scale of what babies matter to different people. So, you're fine with killing baby aliens. If that's true, then you just draw the line at a different place than others, and you can't say that killing babies is bad in any kind of absolute way...

Race.

But, they've repeatedly said that once you pay for something, you own it forever. If they could just take away content whenever they want it would go against that ideal. That would be a fairly uncomfortable place for them to be sitting.

Hah! The short version is that I think orcs are a generic race of bad people who do bad things, and that's pretty much their entire schtick. Everybody has their own ideas of what orcs are, so they get to have nothing interesting about them to make them stand out. Yet they're some kind of...

This is true. D&D often has a sort of caricature-ization of things over time. A little blurb mentioned in one book can turn into a creature's main theme a couple of editions or even a couple of books later. In the end, you get something completely unrecognizable as far as the real-life origins...

Story differences between monsters are the most important difference, IMO. I mean, you could say the same thing about hobgoblins and gnolls, right? What's the difference? They're both monstrous humanoids who live in the wilderness and attack innocent travelers and farmsteaders. Stat-wise...

I ran a bunch of games of Dungeon World at Dragon Con this year, and every game went over very well. People were really drawn into the collaborative world building and more cinematic combat decisions and actions that went on at the table. Every game was very exciting, and had at least one real...

There are two things that I would say make this untrue. First, while technically, as an example, everything in Greyhawk is cannon in Planescape, that doesn't mean much in play. If you aren't a Greyhawk fan then you'll never see anything Greyhawk in your Planescape sessions. Greyhawk becomes...

I've never read anything from the Greyhawk, Dragonlance, or Forgotten Realms settings. I have, however, read just about everything published in the '90s concerning Planescape, and this is all news to me. It sounds like there may be baggage of the Great Wheel from other supplements? But, really...

Re: iOS Sounds to me like something required by WotC in order for them to be licensed to make the software.
