The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Relevant anecdote: I'm on my fourth campaign in a home brew world with no elves except for half elves. No one has complained yet.

Yeah, my campaign world has them, but 16+ years in, I don't think anyone's played one.

You know, it is pretty weird that Curse of Strahd or Van Richten's didn't include the dusk elf subrace that's mentioned repeatedly ...

Listen, for a while I was pretty sure the different teams working on TSR 2nd edition campaign box sets were required to make a new elf subrace for each new setting. It was really the only explanation that made sense to me, since you didn't need more than 1 Human race to cover all possible varieties of human. Then I saw how many Human Subraces they put in the Forgotten Realms...

I'm finding it increasingly important (for my own sanity) to remember that just because someone is using my point as the basis for their statement does not mean I should assume they're entering conversation with me.

You all know what someone says on ENWorld is unlikely to make WotC change their future products, right?

Thank god.

Years ago, when they shut down the Gleemax forums, I used a tool to import a few threads to ENWorld. Each post is signed by my username, but the tool helpfully put the Gleemax username of the original poster at the top. Nevertheless, not a quarter-year goes by when someone doesn't ping me asking me for a document mentioned in one of many posts I copied over (so they wouldn't be lost). They're usually pretty good in handling their disappointment. I think the one guy who didn't believe me and got pretty steamed is the one person I actually have blocked on ENWorld.

You all know what someone says on ENWorld is unlikely to make WotC change their future products, right? If someone says something you disagree with, there's a ceiling to how upset you should get about it, since at the end of the day, it's a largely powerless person expressing their opinion, not a plan of action coming out of a WotC conference call.

If I were in charge of D&D, there would be one elf race maybe. And since that won't ever happen, who cares?

Alright, Provides, let 1000 pizzas bloom.

I don't think being passionate and having strong opinions about your hobby/interests is specific to a single race and gender...

I find myself torn between appreciating the impulse and being saddened by at least part of the result.

You know, I could go for some nuts and gum right now as a matter of fact.

With pineapple.
