I am not really sure what you would do with the information in Fastjack's Shadowfiles. It's a catalog of characters from the metafictional Jackpoint, how much they post, what books they posted in, when they posted within the metafiction, etc. It would make more sense as an excel file than a PDF...

What now? I wasn't looking for a "golden ticket to slavetown." I hope none of my posts have given that impression.

Additionally I might add that part of my point from earlier was that we can't lay all of the ownership of the discomfort at the feet of PoC. Part of that discomfort is mine and my feelings of playing the subjugator against a black player. even if they give the ok it still would feel icky doing...

Can't say. I don't claim to be an expert on the feelings of PoC. However, I will point out that we have left the realm of roleplaying, which changes matters.

One could argue that the problem is with me, or with the player, but I think that would be ignoring some of the cultural complexities that we live with. D&D is not played in a platonic world of forms. It is played in the real world with real people. If a black person asked to play in my Dark...

There are a couple of issues that I am reluctant to bring up because I don't want to get into a prolonged argument about them, but I feel are kind of necessary for the discussion. I bring these up not to tear the setting down or anything like that. I consider myself a fan of the setting and...

I'm not sure. I certainly felt that way. But it occurred to me today that maybe my circumstances were unique. I know the geeky subcultures were always out there but I always felt cut off from them.

Today it seems like Fantasy and Sci-Fi are "in." Probably starting around the time the Lord of the Rings movies came out, a lot of that changed. But growing up, somewhere along the way I learned that my love for fantasy was weird... maybe even a bit shameful. I remember being young in the 90's...

My problem with this is that you can say this about any interpretation of a work of fiction. Even interpretations that most people would agree on. Nothing means anything until you "make it out to be." Until then, it's just ink on paper. What is happening here is that D&D is being brought to a...

I never gave it a second thought to call a Warforged a "race." I expect "species" will fade into the background similarly.

I don't recall seeing this. Care to elaborate?

When it comes to science, it's always more complicated. From Wikipedia: It is possible for two species to have viable offspring. In the case of Mules, this results in sterility, but this isn't necessarily the case for all hybrids. In any event, scientists bend the rules for asexual species...

I don't think it's a strange choice, but I do think the days of designing campaign settings like that are over. Everything adds. Nothing subtracts.

Every time I play this game, I am in awe of the opening page. I know it's very cheesy, but there is something about the atmosphere of this image that I love. There is no real focus for the picture. It's not a picture of anyone, other than an assortment of monsters and treasures in a dungeon...

I feel like we are talking about an issue that has crossed several editions of D&D, and those editions have had all different kinds of widgets. I am not sure that widgets are the answer. "Theorizing that one could fix the fighter within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum...

You need to reread the text again, because clearly you missed some things.

I guess what I mean is by "pop the top off" is that the Monk tends to lean towards superhuman feats that we might see in wuxia films, running on walls, on water, slow fall, immunity to poison and mind control, etc. and saying it was all done with just "mind over matter." One of the (many)...
