When did we start talking about someone that committed rape?

Which means he may be complete and utter scum, or he may be a completely normal person, one persons "creepy" is another persons "kink" and is a third persons "flirting". I do find it interesting that this Metzer is being thrown around as someone that should be banned from DnD for basically...

You should just be honest and say that nothing this guy says or does will be enough until he bans from the con the two people you do not want there. Which does lead me to the question? Are you going to the convention? Or have you just decided to make it your personal mission to drive these two...

I would like to add that in my completely subjective opinion most people in these types of situations who "misinterpret" do so quite intentionally and with a deliberate goal in mind.

Strength, can be easily replaced by high dex which also improves armor class and initiative. Intelligence, only matters to wizards unless your DM runs a campaign that heavily hammers on the knowledge skills. Charisma, no way, there are three classes that use it as their spellcasting stat and...

Constitution, it gives you hit points as well as saving throws against disease, poison, and other con based items. But really, it is THE dump stat and has been basically forever. A friend of mine proved this years ago by creating a character with 10s in every stat and a 25 in Constitution. It...

I would disagree. First and foremost RL is a prison. It exists to contain and torment Strahd for all eternity. It may allow him small victories on occasion to get his hope up, but only so that they are crushed that much more the next time. Sent from my SM-T820 using EN World mobile app

Just my two cents but that is not Strahds style. If he would try this he would try minute the charm because he would enjoy it more knowing the victim agreed to his own demise freely. Sent from my SM-T820 using EN World mobile app

Better stay behind the screen 24/7 then because the next time you decide to be a player someone will remember and...... Let's just say you better make lots of backup characters. Sent from my SM-T820 using EN World mobile app

But this is not medieval fantasy and not every player is a member of the Gentry. Sent from my SM-T820 using EN World mobile app

So it is a bird but not a chopper.

What would you prefer be used?

Did a quick bit of searching Hobbit, as a term to describe a halfling sized race of humanoids was a Tolkien invention. If there were original oDnD books that used the term then yes Gary was fibbing, assuming he created 100% of the material for those books.

True, I am just doing my best to quote what I remember him posting. If we want to create a list of everything that has more than a passing resemblence to something from Tolkiens works then your talking dozens of monsters, world creation concept, etc that covers a huge swath of oD&D.

I am not sure anyone can really ever say with certainty. Gary Gygax himself, on this forum no less stated he never read Hobbit or Lord of the Rings, that he hated the writing style and could not make it through the books. He also said/implied that he pulled things out of various mythologies...

Exacltly, you are comparing to very black and white crimes to a very grey crime. Would you automatically go out and beat the hell out of Ed because Joe said he stole $50 from him? No you would not. But when it come to rape most people go well beyond sympathy and turn their sympathy into rather...

Never said it, never had any reason to say it. All I ever said is you should never automatically believe the words of one person and based on those words alone condemn another person. This has nothing to do with this case and everything to do with another poster who implied that anyone who make...

The only person here that is disgusting. But I will do my best to use small words and simple example. You have a choice. You can be a LIAR or you can be a RAPE VICTIM. Which one do you chose? Pretty simple choice isnt it. THAT IS THE ONLY BASIS OF MY STATEMENT. Stop being stupid and...

I dont know Bill, have never met him, never will meet him, do not care to meet him. I was very clearly responding to the GENERAL STATEMENT that ALL victims must automatically be believed as soon as they say something with is completely and utterly wrong. If you and other posters was to fail at...

This is a forum and my rubbish is no less important than your rubbish so dont dare try to tell me to shut up. No you do NOT automatically believe the victim. Does the Duke Lacrosse Team ring a bell? When someone makes an accusation you can sympathize, you can offer to help them. You do NOT...
