I think there's something to be said for realistic weaponry, but there's a worse diversity in real-world weaponry.

Never did 9 or 12, for lack of the right equipment. I did record the opening theme of Space 1999 off the TV...

Eh, I consider role-playing pretty central to all major games through the 80s and 90s, even AD&D. It really seemed to fall to the wayside with D&D 3rd, Pathfinder and the optimization crowd.

I got the Uglei, which sounds like something for a haunting, or perhaps the PCs have to retrieve a wedding ring or chalice from the sunken chapel.

This is really important. I see so many artists who get abs wrong, making them look like pouches on the outside of the skin.

To be fair, they also accept Viagra or Rogaine. Or some other word that means it isn't fair at all.

So what you're saying is that maybe the Democratics can be a little anti-vaccination, and pro flat Earth. As a treat.

This also reminds me that D&D is very much a "classes use magic" game. If they weren't legacy classes, Fighter and Rogue wouldn't appear in the game at all. appear in the

What he wants is to murder around 60%of American adults. I don't think any sort of understanding is involved in his insanity.

54.5 % of American adults drink alcohol. 19.8% use tobacco. I'm not normally a fan of alcohol and tobacco companies but if love to set how they'd react to your genocidal idiocy.

I think Marvel basically got scared shitless over the hate campaign against Captain Marvel, and resolved to try to avoid taking a stand on anything that might make internetters angry.

I wanted to like Awakening so much, but it read like, "Let's take everything cool out of MtA and replace it with Atlantis, rigid 5X5 Character archetypes, and two-dimensional villains."
But maybe I was really just annoyed I couldn't recreate my orphan Spirit/Mind mage in the system.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I knew a referee who ran a really good session of Champions with six people. Next week, he thought "If six is good, twelve is even better!"
It was not, in fact, better.

Which is why I consider Feminism to be orthogonal to the Left. It's nice when the goals coincide, but I've seen too much misogyny from Lefists to believe they're inherently congruent political movements.

I hear you, and it's a concern. But it's also like having GLBTQ people visible just as extras, or women who aren't centered as sex workers or mothers.
Because it's REALLY easy to change your concern to "I don't want to see black people in my historicals unless it's a Very Special Episode."

The bottom line is that non-white actors are earning paychecks. The bad alternative standard is "We don't have any parts for a slave, or a plotline addressing PoC oppression, so we'll just cast white people."
And a lot of the objections I've seen are to having PoC visible at all.
