No more toxic than the idea that mechanical alignment is only used by dictatorial DMs to stifle player creativity.

Sure, and alignment didn't inhibit that one bit.

That doesn't make sense. I still have ADblock running - but the pop up isn't showing up today.

Yes, I initiated the ADblock/ui bar fix once I read about it. The weird pop-up behavior seems to be linked to a single poster who is on my ignore list. How long is a notification supposed to stay in the Notifications Overview? The one that shows up in the pop up has been in there for 2 weeks...

Replace "why I don't find" with "why I do find" and your statement is just as true.

Yeah - still happening here too. Still annoying. Keeps repeating the exact same notification over and over and over and over - nothing in the thread has changed - I don't need repeated notifications :hmm:

I don't want to turn off all notifications - just stop the pop up and, if possible, turn off notifications from people in my ignore list.

Just got on the boards today and noticed a pop-up in the lower right hand corner that appears every 5 minutes or so with notifications of people posting in a thread I participated in. This wouldn't bother me except: 1) It's the same notification over and over, with no change, so why do I need...

In my experience, players having a say in what is at conflict has nothing to do with alignment - it is about talking to the players and seeing what sort of game they want. Also, IME, alignment isn't all or nothing unless you make it all or nothing and view every action as black or white with no...

I think it's confirmation bias. Of your major kerfluffles, Only 1 has been major enough to generate it's own temporary off shoot forum. All the rest came and went pretty fast. Plus your missing the kerfluffles from previous play test packets about skills, feats, which option for class x is...

It hasn't for us. What it has been is a lot of fun.

I would be fine with this - even though the rogue is one of my favorites.

Having DMed for a lot of new players - including 2 or 3 groups consisting of entirely new players - the following is my experience. 1) I talk to all the players and let them know what my expectations for the game are as a DM and ask them what they want to get out of the game. The way this is...

This explains your preference to me much better than the rest of this entire thread. It is also where are preferences are significantly different. Given that it's a game, I don't have any problem making the equivalence suggested. Thanks for keeping it more or less concise.

From what I've read so far, the response is going to be along the lines of 1) all that would have been hashed out at character creation. 2) that they don't have such players in their games and wouldn't play with them if they discovered they had such notions of play. 3) if alignment is used it...

They can also differ on expectations of how the game world will react to the actions they have their character take - so aren't all decisions on such reactions rife with fallibility? What does this have to do with using alignment in the game? Unless you are suggesting that if it is used there...

Advertising, Banking and never again Sales.

Is it the same people playing Paladins in each edition? This I agree with - it's also why alignment isn't a "straight jacket" to playing a character. I wouldn't classify them as being a Paladin tho. They may be a divine champion, but I prefer my Paladins to only be the LG type. I would have much...

With respect to the job with specific requirements for field dress - yes, Safety. In my current job, no - because it is only strict with respect certain people. When you're sweating your keister off it's annoying to have someone else comment on how comfortable they are cause they get to wear...

In one of my prior jobs it was suit and tie in the office and whatever was practical due to the weather in the field - but steel toe boots and no loose clothing, no jewelry. As for declining a job - yes, because I would have had to shave off my beard.
