wow, what angry and psychotic language they're using in that tweet, they better be careful with what they say. just look at the language they use in the followup tweet explaining why they don't like the domain, it's just offensive and incomprehensible 🙄

so you're just upset that they didn't do it a certain way? the surveys are mostly there as marketing data more than anything, and largely focus on actual gameplay aspects. I have serious doubts they don't also have eyes and ears on twitter, facebook, and just about every other social media site...

pretty sure Gamergate and especially "Comicsgate" (lmao) happened way after magazines started dying, try again. EDIT: someone wildly missed the reply button and clicked the message button instead?

so it's just like Eberron. I don't see how any of that dictates we need to have gods of love with rapey aspects. yeah, no, don't bring up "ambiguities". the ability they gave to LOVE clerics forces someone to be INFATUATED and be mind controlled. that's an actual fact. also while we're here...

ah yes, cancel culture, not bad decisions, is what "ruins" things 🙄 never mind the fact all cancelling does is sets up an inevitable comeback as far as I've seen. okay in what universe is "infatuation" True Love? or even love in general, I'm pretty sure conflating infatuation and love is a huge...

yes, abstact, and yet the rules say it always takes 20 times as long to do.

I didn't think basic d&d really had "editions", at least not the same way current d&d does, or does it?

I think I thought it was okay at the time, but also kinda hell if you didn't max out Crafting and have high Int. also didn't really like how crafting was so tied to Int either, like it makes sense for the nerdy scientist making contraptions, and I get that certain crafting methods were sorta...

before people got to whine at the mere thought of 4e there was this book in 2003: there was also a game specific to World of Warcraft 2 years later, but that one was published under the Sword & Sorcery label so it doesn't really count.

man that's a third party example. from 3.0. I'm pretty sure if you swam through the cesspool of bargain bin fodder you'd find a cleric domain for butts. Unearthed Arcana is official first party material and should be held to a higher standard. it seems to be a bit of both. as someone else...

that's a magic item in the DMG, not a player option. for similar reasons the Death domain and Oathbreaker paladin are also in the DMG (also they're not named the Second Life domain and Mid-life Crisis paladin). thanks for providing an example of what people nowadays mean by "rape culture".

man no one's calling for "censorship", no one's saying you can't have themes like that in your game, we're just saying it's kind of an issue for WotC to say "love" and "mind control" are the same thing. I've had to deal with this sort of thing before, but this isn't relevant to this thread.

whoa there, I think we're hardcore projecting a bit on every D&D party ever here. an X card is about helping people bring up they don't want to deal with a certain issue without having to go into a prolonged discussion. I don't think base D&D has ever shipped with a cleric that had love themed...

[insert joke about marriage being bad], though honestly that is about the average length of a honeymoon so... edit: wait hang on, the inclusion of the spell is entirely thematic. also I'd imagine a cleric of the love domain would be officiating weddings on the days they're not adventuring.

maybe, but I'm not the one accusing others of "persecution" here.

okay and I often see "no ill intentions" as an excuse to not hold others accountable for their actions.

okay why are you even making this argument then? all I said was "you don't need ill intentions to do something bad", not sure how you weaseled "people should be persecuted for small mistakes" from this.

I mean you aren't wondering if the designers made some terribly objectionable and morally repugnant material and people are justifiably tearing them apart, so I can only imagine what those opinions are lol if you don't point out the mistakes people make they're not gonna get better. don't frame...
