You completely left out and kinda maligned an additional form of CharOp that focused on reciprocity. That flavor of optimized PC is either completely forgotten and (often) considered dead weight or seen as the insulation and rocket fuel cranking everyone else in the party to 11 and/or critically...

Context is important, that quote was in relation to the hypothetical spectre of social media outrage. It's relevant because that particular series of light novels has a plotline that involves purchasing a dwarven child slave to train for something crafting related. There was some controversy...

That one should be easy, we even have a recent example from 2 years ago. "I don't condone slavery personally. However, it's true that I wrote Rudeus as someone who is not averse to slavery. Also, the original story is written with a kind of mild setting where it is accepted that, "Slavery is a...

Serious question because I don't know who or or what point this is directed at. Explain what reason? Can you elaborate on what you are unsure of?

Lots of discussion since I posted this morning. It seems like just about all of the darksun critics in this thread are circularly quoting and referencing what they themselves and each other assert is in the darksun books as justification for doing violence to the setting rather than actually...

I'm not sure if the point you are trying to make has anything to do with the discussion because you don't seem to be talking about anything printed. You might need to bone up on the actually printed setting. Rajaat is presently sealed. The cleansing wars happened generations ago, old school...

Quite the tube Goldbergian deck chair shuffling.. why on earth? You make it sound like there was a journal entry∆ from a doctor observing one of unit 731's procedures on a log is described Treat it like black leaf, have you ever engaged in them at your table? I've run lots of games set in...

You've got it backwards, although my "healed" typo could have given you the wrong impression. Look more closely at the specific words I used. Nobody on athas likes the current state of the world because it's a post apocapyptic hellscape and even further from the earlier ages than the world was...

That is also not answering the question or providing the clarification requested and is why I asked for specific examples & specific books. That's a critical clarification because it very much seems like you are weaving and bobbing around admitting that you are trying to say an updated darksun...

Yes, I read what you said in 958 where you opened with "Alot of the problem DS came in later product". That's the problem and what I was directly and explicitly asking you to backup because you seem to be relying on Internet wisdom summaries made with second and third hand descriptions of what...

Is any of what is actually printed in game books☆ worse than the kinds of stuff you can expect to find in the best selling monster f'r section of the book store where you find plots rooted in SA kidnapping mind control mind-rape & worse, or is this refering to a thirdhand description of a third...

A lot of folks who complain about it's "problematic" aspects ime tend to have little actual exposure to a setting so many years out of print. Ididn't expect it from him of all places but dndshorts did a great "I read darksun and..." Quick little review recently He leaves out or misses a couple...

That's a good point and we have a historical comparison to show as much Meanwhile bg3 had clips from the romance options in marketing promotional videos and I found a 2 hour 7 minute compilation of the romance options

I'm the first episode of pg13 rebel moon series there is a fascist evil empire sporting a barely modified version of the dress uniforms to a well known real world nation and slavery is treated so casually that an alien tries to buy one of the main characters from a second without even bothering...

I've tried a few times in my eberron games where the dragonmarked houses are a very big part of the world and it never really sticks. Ultimately the trouble with doing so in 5e is that the players have no reason for them to care enough for them to be remembered any more than the name of a...

Sun Wukong's golden banded staff Ruyi Jingu Bang is. It weighs 8tons and can shrink to the size of a needle or grow to colossal proportions. The monkey king from journey to the west or one of the many work of fiction that include him were likely some degree of inspiration for the name monkey...

Sounds like the 3.5 feat monkey grip but maybe a bit worse
