[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8488392, member: 6801845"] What can I say? I was responding to a post that said "most people" had a problem with alignment. That would indicate a plurality of people have a problem with alignment. Since I've played with literally hundreds of people over the years (dozens in home games and extensive public play as player and DM) if it were as big an issue as some people claim it would be incredible that I've never heard of it nor seen it be a major issue. Is it occasionally a problem? Was it an issue for some people in versions of the game that have not been current for decades? Was it an issue for some people decades ago? Okay. What does that have to do with the current game? Unless of course you have some broad based survey that I've never seen. Do some articles discuss it? Sure. An article popped up on my feed the other day "10 fake rules every DM should use!" There's a whole thread about garbage articles. We have the internet where you can find articles about all sorts of ideas, opinions and theories including some that are truly bizarre. People write provocative things all the time to get eyeballs. I know some people have an issue with alignment, if you do you can ignore it. I've had discussions about alignment in the past, and there have sometimes been minor differences but nothing serious*. I do think the MM should go back to the 3.x version of alignment that explicitly stated things like orcs are frequently CE. *[I]The only time I had an issue was with 2E's CN being basically chaotic insane. But that was more of an issue with 1 individual who also thought they were literally a werewolf. 🤷‍♂️ [/I] [/QUOTE]
