[bedir than]

People said exactly what they were worried about being removed and they didn't say it should be published exactly the same, you're making blatantly false claims.


No, THIS is camp:

Not so much.

One is a novel and the other is an adventure.
You could understand why those might have different marketing images?

Then what should I infer from people telling me they don't see the whole 'halflings slide way too close into the whole cannibal pygmy stereotype"? Because there's absolutely ways around it, but no talk on how to adjust things on how to go well. Just 'oh this TV show does the mega violence we're not even talking about, so republishing Dark Sun 100% accurate should be fine with no introspection'

Not so much.

Darklords is the one with the Blackula reference domain so, no, its camp. Plus absolutely in TSR's 'just read this book don't play it' era with the "Do these specific set of instructions no one has ever told you to kill a Dark Lord" bits

This is from Van Richten's

That's not what happened.

And the fact you're proving you read the parts where people were saying what their actual issues were but are still trying to act like it's just the halfling stuff says it all.

One way around it i suppose. Just dont have the halflings dressed up in real life cultural tropes.

Cannibalism in pop culture i dont think its an issue. Fallout TV show had it recently.

Yeah, but there being cannibalism at all is apparently too offensive for some people.

Its not 2019.

Mix it up dont need to show it but can be referenced. Draw them like vikings vaguely Polynesian weapons (local museum has them. Only so much you can do with stone/bone weapons). Cloth fabric strange plants on forest ridge. Cloth is actually remnants of bioshaprd technology. No real life culture wears it, Halflings can grow it still but no idea how to modify or do anything else.

Its not even cannibalism either.

This is literally the motion put in place and enacted via sensitivity readers. They aren't saying evil isn't allowed.
They're steering caring people away from suggesting that evil is a result of ethnic groups.

Its not to bad now but at one point we had people saying cannibalism is badwrong fun in game. Well eating sentient.

Ironically I cone from a country where it was practiced until recently. Even git a hand me down great great uncle story.

One of my players was from said culture. Its not a shame thing for them. It happened they don't glorify it either.
