Can we start a new thread about the semantics of politics in modern media, and maybe get back to dragonlance? I mean, it was fun and all, but nobody agrees and it's frankly starting to smell like the SOS. I personally think there was something akin to the "Mercer Effect" with dragonlance in...

"Look Raist! Bunnies!"

Nope. I refuse to thought police. Dunno about you, but knowledge and history are something I will never agree with destroying. We have to document evil, in all it's forms, so that we can RECOGNISE it. Good people (of whatever stripe) often have trouble detecting evil when it wanders in of...

I feel like this a lot more anger than a refocusing of the dragonlance ip should be generating. myself, I think this looks less like a reboot, and more like shifting the players story away from the original books. I feel like those things might still exist, but they act as a backdrop?

Just to be clear, dragonlance has MANY aspects that do not survive the sniff test of modern social viewpoints. It's also FOURTY years old. Views evolved, quite rapidly, really, and it shows in just about all American media. "Three's Company" seemed downright wholesome for the time, now...

Raymond E. Feist FTW.

<raised eyebrow> Better is a definition of moving closer to a goal. It is the definition of Objective. But all Objective things are also subjective. Subjective becomes Objective to you when you agree to it. When enough people agree, it becomes "better." It's all sophistry, mind you.

This has been discussed to death, in terms of why the gods dropped a rock on the kingpriest. Came down to the following: 1. The gods didn't do it. The kingpriest *&#@)( up the ritual and dropped the rock on himself, with the gods warning him non-stop it was a baaaaaad idea. 2. They did it as a...

This. Every day of my life… Except when suffering from megalomania…

A pint of greasepaint for this boy! A true fool if ever I‘ve seen one!

My grandfather was a mathematical nuclear physicist who game me chemistry sets that included all the fun bits still added. I was logging into govt computers to access the internet before it was even heard of. On a 300 baud modem. I did computer tech services at age 12 for what they now call...

Ditto. Louisville, Ky. Near absolute freedom. Not what it’s cracked up to be. I’ll save the details, but the amount of trouble I got into ranged from trivial to comedic to catastrophic. I am amazed I got to adulthood. Still have scars to prove I almost didn’t.

I’d offer to gm, but I’m already running a fate game For my coworkers.

just to be clear, it’s generally d&d lite. Take just about any setting from d&d, and this will work as rules for it to keep the d&d feel, without the clutter. healing, potions, magic items, spells, and the like are all in place, and close enough to the classics to be usable. Morse than 4th...

You want a city sized spelljammer at scale… that’s called the map backing, not a mini.

And yet, no spelljammer or mini jammer listings.

Or cosplay as the joker and try to help them recruit in the worst ways, and then go "Wait? You're NAZIS? What do you think I am, CRAZY?"

Well, education helps. If you can stop people neutering education. Unions help, but those keep getting kneecapped at every level... partially due to education being hampered for so long... Improving infrastructure to make jobs can help... Oh... Right... Wait, what about passing laws to...
