I'm sure some fan creations have feudalism but are there any examples that have been published by WoTC or TSR? Normally the D&D worlds (or parts of them) without knights in shining armor don't try to look like medieval Europe. They're the Shinning South in the Forgotten Realms or Al Quadim.

It's very close to 0%. D&D worlds are modern USA with knights in shining armor. There's nothing medieval about them. They don't even have feudalism.

Fair enough. It's not like D&D worlds have anything in common with medieval Europe anyways so you might as well. It wasn't an alternative model. It was a historical example of a society that praised homosexuality. I was trying to understand what you meant by "including them". But you made it...

You said that LGTB should be included. Since there's nothing that can distinguish a LGTB from the rest of the population, you have to assume that some of the NPCs you have encountered are gay or transsexuals. They've always been included. None of the game worlds are homophobic. I don't...

I only mentioned the hair to emphasis that not all gay guys are shaved metrosexuals. If you take a walk in Castro (San Francisco), you'll see some extremely manly looking dudes holding hands. My point was that many gays don't walk around wearing rainbow colored t-shirts. Gay pride is only once...

How do you know a hairy dwarf isn't gay? Or that Mr X's wife isn't a dude? What do you mean by including them? A community of dwarves that values the love between a master artisan and his apprentice more than the love between a man and a women?

D&D is a game that works best when played as a group. You wanted to be the lone wolf that saves the day and it backlashed. You're the only person to blame for it. Next time, tell the others your plan and work together as a team. Seriously, why didn't you bring the others along? They could...

I personally like a mega dungeon crawl like Undermountain once in while.

I don't think anyone can blame a DM for not having the time to make his own campaign setting. It really is a lot of work!

I do both. I like playing in Ravenloft, Planescape, and the Forgotten Realms. I really like the 16th and early 17th century and none of the published settings fill that niche so I made my own.

Yes of course. Encounter guidelines aren't an exact science (even in 4e). Would you really want to play a game where being smart doesn't make fights easier? You can spend a lot of time tweaking the monsters to adjust the math if you want. An easier solution is to put higher level monsters. If...

This works for me for now. In the long run, I doubt it's going to be enough. I'm a bit surprised we don't have campaign settings though.

If your players don't like 5e, why bother trying to get them into it? There are many great games out there. Back in 2013 it might have made sense to pick D&D over another game for it's superior support but now D&D is one of the least supported games out there. Even smaller editors like Goodman...

I'm not really sure it makes sense. I don't think the name of the author is there to give the author credit for his work. I think it’s more like a brand name. The name of the author gives you an idea of the style, nature, and quality of the writing. You can get an idea of the quality of the...

Taxes? :)

I wish my guys could work for free! Maybe I'd finally be able to buy that yacht I've been dreaming about for the past 15 years. WoTC gives a lot of free stuff! They're just smart about it.

Do you also think there should be a free casino and BJ day in Vegas? ;)

You already had convinced me with charity that sometimes working for free is acceptable. You could also add help a friend moving to his new house, help the old lady living next doors mow the lawn, cook something special for your wife when she has a bad day, etc... There are plenty of exceptions...

Good point. I see a difference between a luxury product such as D&D and charity though. Would you do the same for Donald Trump? :p. I would agree with a free RPG day where people give some of their RPG books to those that normally wouldn't be able to buy them. But it's not like the ones...

exile: Why the hell would anyone want to work for free... That's something I really don't understand. Do you work for free one day or one week per year?
