You know Aretha Franklin's signature song, "Respect"? It's a cover. The original recording is by Otis Redding.

I don't deny that some people do get overzealous in going after people they view as having said something problematic, but there is a no less vociferous and even less open "How dare you call foo problematic!" in nearly every case. See, for example, the inciting incident of this thread: Jon...

Nobody is doing any of that. This isn't a competition to be the most offended or get on the highest horse. Nobody is shocked that sexism was to some degree more socially acceptable in the 1970s. This is a thread about a history book. The book reproduces historical documents, and it contains a...

It's like pineapple upside-down cake, but pizza!

I would turn this around slightly: when writing a parody, you ought to keep Poe's Law in mind. It may be ambiguous at first, but by the end, you should make darn sure people know you aren't actually advocating for eating babies. You're probably right that achieving understanding by 100% of the...

My notes from the video: Monk and the ranger are "largely new classes". Lv 1 Martial Arts: Monk weapons are Simple Melee Weapons and Martial Melee Weapons with the Light property. Unarmed strike can be used as a bonus action, no longer tied to Attack action. Unarmed strike can do damage...

Word from Todd Kenreck in youtube chat is that this video will be 40 minutes long.

Give it time! The cheese-powered space ships are from the 2260s.

Horrified at the thought of finding an old thread where Snarf argues bards are good.

Gods, Demi-gods, and Heroes contains nothing of particular relevance to your theory. The gods therein are not assigned alignments, except sometimes by implication: a few are noted to e.g., favor lawful characters, or, in the case of Mictantecuhtli, "Any person that worships this God is...

A 5e player learning about 1e grappling for the first time:

Even The Complete Paladin's Handbook didn't allow non-human paladins, but it did allow them to be "demipaladins" (LG fighter/clerics who meet the ability score requirements for paladin and follow all of the paladin ethos rules can go on quests to earn a subset of the paladin special abilities.)...

As much as I agree with you about the wonkiness of the Great Wheel and the fact that some of the planes feel like they're just there to check boxes without being differentiated enough, I think having no structure at all would be far worse.

You think the songs about her ex-boyfriends are something, wait until you hear the songs she writes about the DM who killed her character.

They filmed an alternate ending to Breaking Bad that was an homage to Newhart's

I keep wanting to make a joke along the lines of Tolstoy's "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" But I can't think of the spell equivalent of "Six feet from his head to his heels was all he needed."

You know that story about Gandhi in Civ I having minimum aggression that would underflow and make him super aggressive? It's almost certainly completely wrong. Have you checked out Freeciv? The default rules are something of a mix of Civ II and III, but you can set it to be pure Civ II rules...
