Ok, I lied. I'm not bowing out yet. If it has been decided that this is an inherently political topic and political discussions, as I understand it, aren't allowed here then shouldn't this thread be closed?

Ok, since you asked so nicely and without obvious sarcasm. You must lead a really insular life if you have never heard someone make a religious argument on the topic (and no, religion isn't inherently political). I personally know someone who is anti-trans and makes what he feels are scientific...

I wasn't referring to myself in my post. I am pretty sure I made it clear I thought Zaukrie was making generalizations about whole groups of people unfairly and never said I felt he was targeting me. I am positive I took the time to say that I think trans people should be treated with dignity...

It may be a political decision except when it's not. Not everyone who enjoys and follows a form of entertainment also follows the news around the personal lives of the creators or those involved in the form of media they enjoy. This is the point I was trying to make earlier, painting others with...

I don't care for the things Rowling has said but there are more things in this world that are horrible than I can count and many much worse than Rowling's statements. If everyone stopped supporting all of those things society would crumble. Everyone has to pick their own battles because no one...

Avid follower? No. She does love watching movies and TV shows and will usually watch things I recommend to her so she respects my opinions because I know her tastes and recommend appropriately. Also, my response was less about (well, not at all about) my mother's opinions on my opinions of TV...

My mother is very much not into politics and I doubt she would be able to wrap her head around the transgender debate. Knowing my mother as well as I do I doubt she would see it as something that would stop her from watching the show because she just wouldn't get it.

Born in 1968 but that puts me pretty close to being a Boomer. Many of my friends are younger Gen X and older Millennials and I have more in common with them than most Boomers I know.

I'll be sure to relay that sentiment to my 76 year old mother who enjoys Harry Potter and is looking forward to the show but has no idea that people being upset with Rowling is a thing or why they might be offended.

I only chose two; Mistborn and The Black Company, I hadn't even heard of most of them. As an aside, does anyone else have issues seeing if they actually selected something if using the site in dark mode? Anytime I participate in a poll here I have to change to light mode to see if there is...

I graduated high school in 1986 in the USA and I remember taking a mythology class in high school and college. I feel like I also had one in elementary or junior high (I moved a lot so those all would have been different school systems in different states). Plus I have always been an avid reader...

Thanks for the feedback. The only reason I am considering not using the converted classes is that after so many years of playing D&D and Pathfinder I'm kind of bored with the standard classes. I can easily adjust the players or monsters power level to balance things out. I was considering...

I'm not sure how popular Pathfinder for Savage Worlds are on this board but I was looking for some opinions from other players. I am going to be running Rise of the Runelords and I am thinking about abandoning the converted classes and letting my players design their characters using the...

I end up buying most of my RPG stuff online too. I don't play D&D or Pathfinder and the games I play that are among the few my FLGS stocks are missing the items I am looking for.

There are a few in Columbus, OH but only two I visit. The one I go to the most is The Guardtower but I don't go often since I have as much RPG material and boardgames as I need currently (not want, but need) and they moved to a new location that is further from me. They are mostly dedicated to...

Better Netflix gets their hands on it than the Ellisons but enough with these huge mergers already.

This a pretty long thread so this may have been brought up already but I don't think D&D 3.5's default setting, at least at publication, was Eberron. A quick glance at the list of deities in the Player's Handbook seems to indicate it was Greyhawk. Greyhawk didn't see much in the way of...

Fair. I just assumed that all posts auto-updated to make sure they were current ;)

I didn't realize the game was out of print. I have the game and expansion and play it often. Great game.

Disallowing The Expanse seems arbitrary. While the show is based on a series of novels and it did not tell the story of the last three books, the show itself ends with what felt like a satisfactory ending. Even though we were left with unanswered plot threads I am sure we can all think of some...
