Your entire post is spot on, but this paragraph in particular really got me thinking about how much I appreciate when others share these experiences via podcasts, forum posts, and/or blogs. Especially when it comes to early Thieves. Hearing how each table handled them and made them viable is...

Just got mine and spent all day flipping through it. Sooooooooooo worth the money IMO (even though I'm pretty sure I've had this all material as a PDF dump years ago...) Also, got a kick out of the use of "Forward" and "Foreward" used throughout after the scolding we all got the other day. Even...

Just watched an interesting video from Rick Beato where he talks about "Fluid vs Crystalized" intelligence and how it relates to musicians. Might have something to do with why we gravitate towards systems we already know?

Too cool! Wife and I just finished the first game and had a blast. Went all in on Ancient Chronicles, but have yet to play it. Too many games...

What a timeline we're in... What sort of team would Musk assemble? My guess (sarcastically)... D&D 6E President: Elon Musk Lead Designer: Alexander Marcis Design Team: RPGPundit, Greg Gillespie, and James Edward Raggi IV. Sensitivity & Exclusivity Experts: Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay...

Awesome of you to post, thanks. Unfortunately for me, I just pulled the trigger on this last week. 😅

Just hit my 40s and I can sympathize with avoiding complex rule systems despite completely devouring them when I was younger. I think having a more mentally challenging job hasn't helped in that regard either. Hasn't stopped me from collecting them and reading them slowly, but the chances they...

1e Fiend Folio: This is the only D&D book I owned growing up and I had to hide it under my bed thanks to the Satanic Panic. Loved looking at the monsters and dreaming about how brave someone would actually have to be attempt to take them on. Hackmaster 4E collection: I'm still in awe of just...

I will do this, but it would be really beneficial to the conversation (not to mention quicker) if you posted relevant examples of Gygax's misogyny from the above sources. Keep in mind though, like I've said before, I focus way more on what people do over what they say. If someone says they...

I went through all your posts like you asked. I responded to the only one that seemed relevant with my thoughts. Why are you so angry with me?

I asked for examples since it was going to be awhile before I could listen to the podcast, I don't remember you responding though.... I'm getting like 20 notifications at time, if I missed it, I'm sorry. I'm interested in learning. I love the history of D&D. To me, most of my back and forth...

As far as I know, that's the only statement he's made to that effect and the only one that's been thrown around here ad nauseam. Apologies if I missed something important.

I don't doubt he actually said this. Personally, what people do will always trump what they say. Despite making comments like this, he did in fact hire women very early on that went on to do some really neat things for the hobby. For me, that's what's important.

Yes, yes, I think we've covered Gary was being an &*#$ and made a mean, sarcastic statement once. TO DEATH. I was asking about anyone addressing the actual foreword.

Wow, talk about demeaning TSR's women and their output to the game... From this article:

I've tried to keep up, but there are a lot of posts! No, I haven't seen your posts or examples, but will certainly dig around for them, thanks.

To be fair, it was one complaint. The other 5000 posts were responding to others' questions that have asked me directly. :LOL:

Same way I knew A Modest Proposal was satire the first time I read it? More like, "I don't think he was ever noninclusive since he made an effort to hire female staff members and seemed to really value their input, so having the opposite picture painted in the foreword is irksome."

An example of him being inclusive, but failing, then trying to understand why. My understanding is it was a harmless (but slightly uncomfortable) way to teach new players to be weary of wearing unidentified equipment.

No it isn't? That's from the foreword to Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons.
