    D&D 4E In Defense of 4E - a New Campaign Perspective

    Fair enough. And I take your point about 'dragging you back in'. I didn't read the thread much past the post of yours that I quoted, and it's entirely possible that you refined your point and I missed it. So I do apologize for belaboring things on my end, and admit it's a little rude to take...

    D&D 4E In Defense of 4E - a New Campaign Perspective

    Are you belaboring the bolded section to make a rhetorical point, or do you legitimately not understand how to explain minions at your table? Because we understand your rhetoric, and have pointed out why it's flawed and rhetorical. To continue picking at it implies either an inability to engage...

    D&D 4E In Defense of 4E - a New Campaign Perspective

    For myself, I loved that 4e separated the narrative and the mechanics. For many years, I gamed with about 30 people online in different PbP games who ran with that, separating fluff from crunch and telling the most magnificent tales together, our imaginations freed while simultaneously being...

    D&D 4E In Defense of 4E - a New Campaign Perspective

It's stating that, proportionately, one attack from a L16 ranger can kill an ogre, but that same attack...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    Even in an absence of additional witnesses beyond the victim of sexual assault, we as a society should be moving more fully towards believing the victim. While we can police against false accusation, the incidence of actual sexual violence is orders of magnitude greater than the incidence of...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    Here's a core problem with the "innocent until proven guilty" and "ruin an innocent life" defensive arguments: they don't spend as much time thinking about other crimes as they do sexual crime. Any purported criminal activity within a community results in a social community response. If someone...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    Looking at a table of daemonic harbingers and seeing one entry with spheres of influence over child abuse would certainly stand out to me. It's difficult for me to assess to what degree that would be so without examining the rest of the entries for context. Note that it absolutely will be...
