Message: <blockquote data-quote="GMforPowergamers" data-source="post: 8571212" data-attributes="member: 67338">yes, the rules didn't really change so much as got enforced by more social pressure (Be nice and don't insult people on purpose was a rule in the 50's). However I have found the new 'counter culture' is the counter to this. (bare with me this is about D&D) the idea you can't have a native narrative like you do in old time westerns is also mixed with people making 'call' out narratives where the N word is thrown around 100 times in an HBO show that takes place in the 30's... where when 'friends' was on dropping that word once was taboo enough to get attention.this matters to D&D when WotC decides to go with culture or counter culture (neither of these are the bigots, those are never going to get a main stream push again...I hope) and if they will use shock, or not.  So far (and my bet going forward) will be no chain mail bikini, no kender as stand in for gypsy, and no mentally challenged races played for laughs.There WILL be a 3rd party call for counter culture though.</blockquote>
