Probably the last thing I want is a self selected curated sample of people in a single platform—-echo chamber central. And what they leave behind will be an echo chamber. Nice! 🤦‍♂️

Or if you are a true D&D perv/deviant, you will get it both ways and twice on Sunday! Remote primes the pump! Also for playing D&D…wait what were we talking about?

For sure. Interesting too his foreword about Mary playing D&D with Bob from the office does not sound like an enforced boys’ club either… if Gygax observed that mainly men were interested at some point in his musings…it may have been an empirical observation. And maybe a biased sample…but not...

Did not know I was addressing you particularly. And as far as I am concerned it’s less about nice and more about being reality based.

Part of what musk is pushing back on I think is displayed here. You don’t like someone’s opinion about something so you devalue them and their contributions on all fronts. Did Gygax say things many of us would deem sexist? Of course. Is it a big deal that someone documents that—-in a...

I have a planned post…if work and life would allow…that speak to some of this in 2014… I have mostly played warlocks over the past 20 years. Often with a dip but not always. If you read everything written in the phb alone, you find a lot of space to play with. Your patron does/does not know...

People use the game in different ways…I think this is why some have such strong gripes while I shrug. We don’t for example have games ruined by wizards generally…but I guess we could if we wanted. I think what is true to a person is true for them but does not always square with me. It’s...

I think getting together to play with friends takes a bit of social intelligence and playing with others maybe a bit more. I think some statements that encourage good productive attitudes is great but ultimately people have to be able to get along with others. I like to create challenges when...

I am all for upping the challenge and taking things that are not optimal. Last night our party was beat to hell and it was so much cooler that the curb stomps we often do. I say get crazy and go for it. It always pays off in enjoyment if it’s your choice!

Love it. We played a 1e campaign with an an evil barbarian two thieves and a fighter/assassin. It was epic. The dm was generous with potions in towns and we stocked up for sure. I guess that was our “mod”

There are many reasons I like str more than dex and one of them is that I never want to be tempted to use a rapier. In fact, I would use a s d6 shortsword well before a rapier. I read something about the advantages of the Gladius recently and durability was one of them. I get people like them...

I would like an electric car at some point…but not yet. I had a conference in New Orleans and the freedom I felt hopping in my gti and driving all day left an impression… Driving in South Dakota and Wyoming did too. Being able to “go” anytime anywhere is something I can’t let go of… My car...

Well you know what Ewoks mean from A Freudian perspective don’t you? I don’t either but I want you to take back what you said about them. Now.

You’re not lying.

In response to the OP: I don’t care about how I am labeled. I play D&D…I love it and have for decades. What I would like is a tag for posts that says 5e 2014 or some such. I expect I will use some 5e 2024 material and some from 2014. When discussing characters I just folks to know which phb...

I might be yuan-ti or duergar… I keep making my saves vs. not-charm and avoid posting to here where it won’t be well taken.

100% As an example at our scale… Do intelligent people ever make bad decisions? They do indeed! But not because they are stupid…

You might? Be missing my point. Maybe not… It is without question we are smart! Where we go astray there are some psychological tendencies to blame, not our intelligence. Those things were probably adaptive at one time. Some things that were very adaptive during our dim history are not...
