    D&D General "Red Orc" American Indians and "Yellow Orc" Mongolians in D&D

    That's a gross oversimplification of Howard's life at the time. Certainly he had his issues (as we all do), but he was very much in the position of being a caregiver for his mother, decades before such a term even existed. And with those duties came a substantial amount of stress. I have seen...

    D&D 5E (2014) Yes to factionalism. No to racism.

    That's always been kind of the thing with D&D. The social and cultural elements have been very streamlined over the years, with the onus being on any given DM to flesh out interesting variations from the norm. Of course, not every DM wants (or should be expected to) put in the work to...

    I have a goatee and I roll dice. I feel threatened.

    TSR TSR3.5 Launches IndieGogo Campaign to "Stop" WotC

    No idea, but the lawyer that gamed with us back in the '90s defined the concept of a Saurig* barbarian for our group. I think he did far too much wheeling & dealing during the week, and by Thursday night he was ready to hack & slash. *Basically a tough lizardman, from the Arduin Grimoire.

    That ban should be worn like a badge of honor.

    TSR Well, they've filed it....

    It seems like, from reading about the Indiegogo campaign, that they so far have an astonishingly few supporters willing to fork out actual cash.

    TSR Well, they've filed it....

    Reading through the thread earlier today, that's what stuck out to me the most. I can't decide if: 1) FauxTSR is arrogant enough to believe that it has some sort of valid claim, and will decisively win the case, or 2) This is some sort of extended scam, in which their loss will become some...

    TSR TSR3.5 Launches IndieGogo Campaign to "Stop" WotC

    I brought my GF to the game back in 1981, and she's still a hard-core gamer to this day. I know this for a fact, since we've been married for over 30 years. Anecdotal evidence, of course, but I think it beats the heck out of that guy's "girlfriends wrecked the game!" assumption.
