A home-brewed version of the Forgotten Realms with elements of Greyhawk in it (Greyhawk itself is a barony on the Shining Sea/Border Kingdoms area). I fit WotC's polling data pretty close. Forgotten Realms, but I pick and choose elements of it for my own take on the setting.

I served, quite simply, to defend the Freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. That may sound trite, but it's the truth. And one of those freedoms I defended was Freedom of Speech - regardless of the insulting use it's put to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Wong_Kim_Ark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_baby#Immigration_status The Supreme Court of the United States affirmed in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees citizenship for nearly all...

Neither I nor Danny said "lack due process"; we said different. And Danny refuted your statement that "You don't get less due process because of another law." The UCMJ - something considered "another law" - limits due process in many ways; some subtle, some more prominent. It does this most...

No joke there. For instance, as concerns freedom of movement: Without being on leave, one can't travel more than a certain prescribed distance from their assigned installation. That means, even on a weekend or holiday - even if one isn't scheduled to be on duty - if you're not on leave, you...

Danny covered this quite well. The idea of having children here to "anchor" citizenship is simply not a major factor in illegal immigrants coming to the US or for having children here. They are coming for jobs. Having children is merely a part of living their lives - no ulterior motives other...

Seems to me that it depends on each individual game. There are scenes in fiction I could see playing out in a similar manner in a D&D game. An assassin catching their target using the jakes. Sneaking into a castle through the jakes. Getting into a walled city through the sewer. Identifying...

...and the Warlord.

Nobanion is one of my favorites; and definitely rarely seen. I've liked him ever since Ed Greenwood linked Nobanion to Aslan in an old Polyhedron magazine article from the 90's. The backstory was that he's actually a Greater God in his own world, but only a Minor God in FR; having been invited...

Oh how quickly we forget history.:( Maybe there weren't a lot of people in Russia and Eastern Europe that wanted to kill us at that time... ...but we certainly believed there were. It was called the First Red Scare, and was predicated upon exactly the 1919 Wall Street Bombing, among other...

All true, and not to mention that the purpose of most so-called "anchor-babies" has almost nothing to do with immediate immigration legitimacy or seeking welfare benefits. First, a so-called "anchor-baby" can't sponsor immigration for family members until they turn 21 - that's a rather long...

With that name, stay away from the Healer Feat or Healing Kits. You're going to want Alchemy!:p He comes from the Pfizer clan, and specializes in little, blue "healing" potions.

Well, while we're clarifying, let's go all the way: whether hate groups/crimes or terrorists - which I'd say is mostly a pedantic argument anyways, as the end result is the killing of innocent people in the name of *something* - let's be clear that the answer being pushed is to ban entire ethnic...

That's so very True...

This is true, especially if you count the sudden drop off due to the recession; but doing so is a bit misleading. However, it's currently about even; contrary to Maxperson's claim. His post is a bit misleading, but yours is entirely incorrect. If you look at the actual Pew Research data (not...

That's a good point about supplements, but I think it's worth mentioning that Pathfinder's approach isn't necessarily wrong - or at least not wrong for them. No industry works with a one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter approach. It may be that making a lot of supplements is what Pathfinder needs...

Stephen Colbert recently had something to say about the Syrian refugee issue... Plenty of humor of course, but some good points also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkRpAK3OtqQ
