uh-huh. So, if you belong to an ethnic group traditionally maligned by loaded terms like "savage" or "primitive", feeling kind of squeamish about the same terms being applied groups in a game is a YOU problem, eh? YOU are the source of your own feelings of exclusion? Convenient, being able to...

Pretty much. Since ALL of these factors can influence someone's inherent stats/talents, none of them bears any particularly strong negativity for doing so. Our characters become a product of an intricate tapestry of influences.

Yeah, that issue was the one that always annoyed me the most. Whether it was a lost proficiency or known spell or literally any other thing that seemed to be about being knowledgeable or well-practiced, losing it didn't make any in-game sense. It's definitely loathe for me.

Our general method is to play at the home of the player with the youngest kids and who need the most supervision by their parents.

It's right there in the OP. It's a pretty obvious, special Thor Wannabe power.

We don't see a lot of disparity in levels in 5e these days since we level by milestone in our home games, but in cases where I have seen it (Adventurer's League) it hasn't been a particularly big deal. PCs at the lower end of the tier matched with higher end suffer only a little in the...

He's good at keeping the flow going, in part, because that's part of the method he's been using for most of the shows he's in. Dimension 20 games are all on a set schedule - x episodes then done. Same with the episode-limited specials he's done for CR. The regular CR campaigns haven't been under...

I think more people are coming for the D&D than you might think. There are traditional drop-offs in average viewers for 2 situations: 1- when there's a break from the main campaign to play some other segment like Exandria Unlimited, which suggests a lot of people get invested in the regular...

I see what you mean. By comparison, when watching Marvel's Runaways, I felt that the parents, who were all supposed to be so smart and talented, were the absolutely dumbest geniuses. So as far as I was concerned, they weren't my dumb geniuses at all (they were someone else's, and not someone I...

No, I'd say Gladiator is really pretty much Superman - or, more accurately, SuperBOY since the source comic was still Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes when the Imperial Guard duped them. And let's face it, Mon-El is basically a Superman/boy clone anyway. It's notoriously common...

I'm voting blue because there's a much greater chance they'll have various resistances to poison by the end of the campaign rather than lightning.

Any food-oriented city (or region) with a chip on its shoulder is similar in it's chauvinistic claims - being from the upper midwest, we hear it mostly from Chicago rather than NYC. But, the one major thing NYC has going for it with its water is it is generally soft - naturally. And that's...

Since there are no gods to visit such appropriate retribution, the duty falls to us. Who must I smite?

I've done something similar. It's great that the internet is around to enable this kind of thing. Back in my day, <pulls pants up to armpits> I had to look for a Series Replay published in The General to see how some of the wargames I was interested in played out.

Lin Codega has been covering this on their posts on Bluesky. They were able to determine that Itch.io, without notice, shadowbanned a lot of titles including anything marked "adult" with its codewords by blocking them from search results. A term like "adult" covers a lot of territory well...

Honestly, if that were my experience, I absolutely could (and would) judge the system based on that. This wasn't simply a one and done - it was giving a full three strikes, including a weekend-long go at it as one of those three. How much misery does someone have to endure before deciding a...

At the very least, if they have the power to deny processing payments, it really be for actually illegal material or activities appropriately vetted, not merely claimed as objectionable by some groups or special interests. There may be some challenges in doing that for commerce that crosses...

You've got some good points in how you're characterizing the editions, but I don't think I'd really agree with this one. There weren't many years to accumulate additions to 3e and make them official. Plus, too many of the changes weren't additions - they were changes in approach and...

My kids love it. My elder daughter (27) and her roommate are WAY into KPop and they've recruited my younger daughter (20), who has watched the movie at least 3 times already. And then I find that their little cousin (8) has found it and it's her favorite movie on Netflix - I think she's seen it...

That is exactly what is going on, particularly through the courts with an unusually friendly SCOTUS usually taking the religious side through its current majority.
