The article's name is "Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done". The article uses the word "alleges". That's my beef. The article is playing both sides. It's skirting legal necessities, while casting judgement upon Fannon. I don't know if Sean is guilty. I don't assume...

That would be good to know. I'd like the article to inform of us of those options.

I'm not castigating the victims or defending Fannon. I'm saying this article skirts closely to libel and I'm uncertain why it was presented this way.

Which is confusing due to the word "Allegations" in the Article. ENWorld has every right to make whatever decision about their authors/contributors, based on whatever facts they find relevant. But this article confused me. Essentially, until whatever course the victims take on this is clear, I...

Here is the disconnect for me. You say Fannon has "allegedly" harassed people. But you have, essentially, tried him in the court of public opinion for allegations and banned him from the site. Were his posts, that were merely compilations of his daily blog that popular? Until the situations are...

I've only played villains in one game, but it was a change of pace and we had a good time with it. We embraced that we were nomadic conquerors and would destabilize a region just because we were there. I wouldn't want to do that all of the time, but I look back and smile at our deeds in that...

Chris, It sounds like you and I, at least partially, come from Comics as opposed to genre novels. I read comics long before I read novels. The thing is though, in my experience with fantasy and sci-fi novels, those protagonists kill more because, at least until the YA category, comics were...

Great article. Anybody remember White Wolf's plan for a virtual world of some kind announced after Changeling: the Dreaming came out? I can't remember what it was to be called :( Maybe it could have been the OASIS...

That image of Drizz't makes him look like he is wearing a gilly suit.

Lews, first thanks for writing about Spelljammer. While I appreciate your ideas, the way my mind deals with your first change is to simply remind myself that others have magic too and that if Spelljammers were around, then they would be dealt with.

I find it amusing that Jason say anything can change and Vic says goblins are in. This will be an interesting playtest.

Talien, you make the assessment that "Race" will fall out of favor. D&D dominates this industry and always has. Why do you assume WotC will move away from it because Paizo has? WotC tried an edition with "no sacred cows" and it wasn't as successful as 3.x or 5. I believe your assessment to be...

It's a game. Do we need it? It works fine for me and my table. I've decided that ENWorld is just trying to stir the pot to get traffic. And it's working.

Because I find inspiration in all of North, Central, and South American cultures and it's a fantasy RPG. And the Paladins at my table would probably be sensitive to human sacrifice. This comes down to not just the DM's world but the stories the player characters bring to it. It may be legal to...

Another article that will reveal that it doesn't says what some of us think it says? ;)

Are we defending human sacrifice? I understand studying it and seeking to understand their customs and practices, knowledge is power and understanding history is important, but human sacrifice should be something that we can agree is not socially acceptable. It can also form the basis of a...

I am deeply aware of the decimation that Native Americans went through, however, I would hazard that nearly every ethnicity has histories that they are certain are filled with similar atrocities. Look at Australia's Aboriginal experience, how Native South and Central Americans fell to the...

Great point. What they find depends on the level of fantasy and magic in the setting and how deep the historical change-point is. For a "realistic" game, I'd have them meet the Native Americans and I'd research the area to meld reality with adventuring. Perhaps, in 2018, the dominant population...

I do apologize, it was thoughtless, not malicious. However, I'd like ask about your role in choosing articles? My central complaint is that we've had an article saying Oriental Adventures aren't appropriate and a spotlight of a Oriental-inspired setting for DnD 5E. Do these articles reflect...
