    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I don't think it's (1e and 2e, anyway) being designed as an educational experience, and if it were, by any decent pedagogical rubric, it would be a poor one; especially since we say things like -10 ac is higher than -8.

    Sorry, I am not understanding you here...what benefit are you talking about?

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I don't know if I would use the word "better" but, based on the italicized above, it would definitely be accurate to say "more accessible." Purposefully making a game less accessible for no real play difference in the end definitely sounds like gatekeeping, which I believe is definitely "not...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    The designers of the game are not pedagogues; they are trying to make a fun, accessible game that will sell well.

    Yeah, and it can be problematic. It's a miracle no one died in the fight between Peter and Otto...what if Otto had just stolen the money and Peter tracked him down later? No worries about innocents.

    I don't understand...I don't have any problem with what Matt did. Sorry if it seemed otherwise.

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    This is part of a larger conversation re: superhero ethics that only sometimes gets touched upon in the comics themselves. Is it worth it to engage violent criminals in spaces where there are innocents when the crime is simply theft from a bank? Even if no innocents are endangered, is the...

    She-Hulk happened before the death of Foggy, it seems...no timeline problem that I can see.

    Yeah. I would have bought it if there was a subway train going by at the moment or something similar.

    Don't Italian sausages exist? I just figured that's what they were... Re: Celestial--> It's a big deal, for sure...just not sure how it would impact, mechanically, peoples' day-to-day lives so that they would change in a significant way. At some point, most people would just default to...

    The D&D 4th edition Rennaissaince: A look into the history of the edition, its flaws and its merits

    Is Roll20 the place to look for meaningful data re: PF2e. though? It seems, from what I can tell, most PF2E players use Foundry (which is awesome for the game). Edit: Ninja'd by @payn

    The D&D 4th edition Rennaissaince: A look into the history of the edition, its flaws and its merits

    Well, sure, if the bar to jump is as low as ONE PERSON then yeah, you are technically right but it's a point without merit. In your original post, however, you said "4e fans." Much higher bar, and it hasn't been cleared.

    The D&D 4th edition Rennaissaince: A look into the history of the edition, its flaws and its merits

    Nonsense. What are you even basing this on? 4e was my group's fav version of D&D but we enjoyed 13A just fine, PF2E as well...People might prefer 4e, but 'the only one they'll accept?' Yeesh.

    GMs - Do you get bored when you're a player?

    Do those sound like things untrained people should have a believable chance at succeeding at? Tracking? Disarming? I think the "gotta be trained" filter is to stop people from creating weird scenarios by just rolling a 20. I understand that's a subjective preference though. I happen to like...
