We debate endlessly and participate in discussions and make comments. So it matters up to the point of motivating that much behavior at least. When every point ends with “think about the inclusion” this corporation is helping achieve or “you are blind to your biases” I do feel some urge to...

One big problem all people have is not having a realistic idea of intent and purpose when a business sends signals. I am not into mind reading with individuals, but companies are pretty transparent. The picture of the the blue guy sweeping the bearded guy off of his feet is not to me about...

nevermind. Beaten to the punch!

You are not wrong. But are there any pictures of male female romance in 5e? Or in ads? I don’t remember any. But maybe as you say it’s because I am blind to representations that are more common.

Life forced breaks upon me off and on over the years. I had a long boardgames run…then mostly Xbox. RPGs are labor intensive and hard to schedule. As a result, for my family and friends it often gets put off and delayed. I think part of my ongoing love for 5e is that I just have not played...

I think of it as a conflict… My overall thought is that humans irl battle with the drive to do right for the self but that this is in dynamic tension with our drive to do for others as social animals. The idea that most are neutral makes sense. And we have wicked people and also selfless...

If you don’t like the current direction, don’t buy it. It’s cyclical. More of what you like will make a comeback. I am a 1st, 3rd, 5th guy…skipping 2e, 3.5 revised and mostly 4e. If you don’t like the weather, make a great game with your pals and focus on that. 6e may bring u joy… But NOW...

Tolkien, Lucas, Stan Lee, Gygax Thinking about the coming together of fantasy, sci fi, gaming and comics/superheroes

Every edition so far both solves and creates problems. I think there were a few things 1e simply had “right” but the “right” just depends on your preferences. The more you toy with one thing, the more you break another. It’s ok as long as you can settle and choose and just move forward. We...

I did not connect that. Watched a number of episodes of one piece with my kid! But no idea where in the series…or if they were actually contiguous. That show is nuts!

Years ago while my wife and I were poor and in grad school, we co-played the windwaker In the Zelda series. She was the brains, I was the reflexes! Anyway, the joy of landing on a new island was genuine. It hard to explain the wonder I sometimes felt. If you could bottle that feeling of...

Don’t worry. My wife has you covered.

There are times when I crave novelty. Been gaming with my friends for God 35-40 years (40 in one case…we were wee lads back then). But I will say I love the ease with which we just get along. Someone has “loose” campaign world, curated only to a point. Then playees Make a character…varying...

We are playing and will continue playing 5e. We are not using mordenkainens updates for races. So it’s mostly Tasha’s and what was before. I think our play time is less than many groups…with kids and kids sports and work and video game and conflicting schedules…I have had fewer than 12...

I saw something about his later days. People can be pretty gross. But for me, dad warpiglet puppet is greenlit by the porcine being himself!

For me, the biggest mistake with warlocks is being narratively rigid at the time of conception. In my group we describe our patron to the DM. We invent patrons…and no one bats and eye. The patron sometimes gets used to make complications or tasks for the party if they choose them...

I hate this. But it’s all about consent and the wishes of the deceased. For example, I asked my wife to have me preserved and placed in a chair in the basement. Wires attached tot he door are supposed to open my mouth and have me start to stand. Just to scare kids and people entering the...

I want to be lawful good. But I really trend N/LN if I am being honest. It a survival thing. I have too much sympathy at times and have to turn away and purposely say not my circus.

I have lurked and read a lot of this thread. And going back to the initial rant: If people trying to keep the ground connected to its roots is exhausting, I think it’s not less exhausting listening to tirades about how the game sucks and must change. If someone wants radical change, why not...

Come now! It’s a generalization! (And does not apply to all online posters, I assure you)
