RandomFerret posted:It's not even supposed to be a measure of how "smart" you are, that's rolled into the wisdom stat. It's just for wizards to keep track of how well they memorize spells In 5E Intelligence affects History, Investigation, Nature and Religion, ie. things based on knowledge and research. Wisdom is Animal Handling, Insight, Medicine, Perception & Survival, which is a weird mix of knowledge, observation, interpersonal skills and woodcraft. D&D stats are just dumb and make no sense and would be among the first things I'd change (or throw out) if I were redesigning the game.

For those of us who have forgotten Matt Gaetz, he: * Has a DUI and 16 speeding tickets in 15 years * Used r/The_Donald posts to draft amendments * Was investigated for witness intimidation against Michael Cohen * Stormed the SCIF on Capitol Hill to protest Republicans not being allowed into impeachment hearings, despite Republicans already being present in the hearing he raised * Sarcastically wore a gas mask to protest having to sign off on funds to handle the COVID-19 pandemic, then freaked out when he realized he had been exposed * Said antifa needs to be "hunted down like terrorists" He's well known as one of the wettest frat boys-turned-politicians in America. If he got trashed and fell off a bridge into the lake, it would make every part of the country better except for the lake.

dwarf74 posted:Trad games here has extremely few RPG grognards. Uh yeah in my experience the tradgame forum here on SA is one of the few online TTRPG places where you can safely be non-binary, non-white or whatever and not have someone screaming about what stat maluses you'd have in D&D, and where people genuinely enjoy many non-traditional takes on RPG's. It's a breath of fresh air.

Anyway it's cool to be able to homebrew what you want but orcs and kobolds having the only species stat penalty is dumb and it's good that's being scrubbed, I hope they scrub the racist flavoring from the orc text too.

The trad games forum here is one of the few trad games spaces where people call out Mike Mearls for being the piece of poo poo that he is. I guess it helps when fellow forums posters have been victimized by known pants making GBS threads rapist Zak S, who Mearls provided personal information to.

I'm all for DnD becoming more inclusive and I cringe every time someone posts a story about how terrible the players they have encountered can be. I've played for years on and off and thank goodness I've never encountered the weirdos who write sexual assault/rape poo poo. Just had a secret nazi DM once

Actually, correction, I feel like I heard the kender are explicitly perpetual children but anyone using that to introduce sex needs to be kicked into the sun. Don't they reproduce by telling stories until fictional kender spontaniously become real or something?

Banning Kender is the only reasonable thing in that post, but that's simply because Kender are loving terrible and should always be banned

fluffyDeathbringer posted:people made out of pure metaphysical mind stuff with, like, four arms and three lives and light-based metabolism or whatever*: realistic There's this weird dichotomy in Tolkien where elves are spiritual beings of light in temporary humanoid form, but there's also half-elves and elf/human couples and other proof that elfs gently caress, because Tolkien was thinking more in the spirit of lineages and ancestries rather than actual theory behind elf dicks and vaginas, the logistics of which require some very specific biological mechanics that have an undeniable impact on societal and interpersonal relationships.1 While he could not have foreseen the internet, he was well aware of networked communities of speculative and horny fantasy nerds. He should have said "Alas, elves can't gently caress, because magic. Alas." and left it at that. Splicer posted:Warhammer orkz are definitely peak ork. e: started pulling in non social media WotC diversity idiocy See, orkz don't gently caress. They grow from spores like fungus or something, an assexual and extremely unhorny method of reproduction so an attempt to sexualize them is automatically non-canon and un-orky. At least I think so. I never read or played WH40K but on the internet you pick up a hell of a lot of WH40K lore by osmosis. And I believe they do something similar with many human factions by chemically castrating them2 and cloning them in creches, so their focus (and by extension the focus of their players and authors) should be fixated upon martial duty and not marital duty.

I don't know anything about the character expect that pedos swarm to her. My introduction to CR was someone telling me I 'just had to' watch this video of someone RPing as Jester and it was a girl screaming for someone to stop anally raping her, but in a baby voice. Multiple people have gushed about how good and emotional and evocative of the character and the game itself it is to me. If I draw a clear line that makes pedos feel unwelcome, -- no 'short' races, no tieflings, it means I'm not going to log onto Roll20 and find that someone has DMed me a rape fantasy (again). Maybe I'll miss like, someone's incredibly well executed tiefling character, but I enjoy the game enough that I don't really care.
