D&D 5E Thread topic most likely to be first to reach 10+ pages of argument

[Savage Wombat]

No reference to "Combat as War/Sport" just for old-times-sake?

I remember when DOMA had its own sub-forum.

Gnomes, and why they are the worst.

TSR3/LaNasa don't generate pages of argument around here at this point - new developments quickly generate pages of people saying some variation of, "What dunderheads!"

Tongue-in-cheek...perhaps. But the thought crossed my head after reading some interesting takes on "clickbait" sites. When someone posts for advice on their campaign, there's a handful of helpful responses, but it doesn't generate the traffic that a well-targeted "D&D's most controversial artwork" (all from Palace of the Silver Princess) can. We've all got something to say about that. Or this:

Some may remember the days when that was the controversial topic...

Sorcerer PC: I mean, my robe got singed last week by that Dragon Hoard raid last week so, I doubt my life is harmless fun.

Something something Samurai Orcs, something something Indian Hobgoblins, something something floating +2/+1 or +2/+2 Mountain Dwarves Bladesinger is wrong bad fun or..........grognard beards.

Honestly, it's all starting to become a bit of white noise at this rate. What was the question again?

If you look at the life cycle of most long threads, the last portion of the thread (maybe 20% ish) is almost always a small handful of people or even just 2 engaged in a cycle of talking past one another, with perhaps the occasional person popping in to hopefully break the cycle and bring the thread back on topic. Eventually the thread dies as the last combatants exhaust themselves and walk away feeling like the victor.

Most of those end in locks, to be fair.

So the thread restarts endlessly, with a barely different title.

Some clever app creator needs to figure out a way to do proper duels ending in virtual death on the internet.
