No you are defensive until you learn he is the uncommonly not fascist goblin That's not what you said! This is what you said: If you meet a goblin in the wilderness you don’t like them coming along with your party cause they’ll say racist shit about dwarves over the campfire and might steal your fo...

There WILL be Goblins living in cities of Humans. Then it is necessarily not true that when you meet a goblin in the wilderness you don't want him traveling with your party . He could be a perfectly regular dude from a multi-racial city, you don't know until you talk to him. Like, if you want to ba...

Your attempted defense of your portrayal of goblins as non-racist is to say that you're emulating Tolkien's original conception ? We know for a fact that Nazis get tons of mileage out of Tolkien's portrayal of goblins! They do that all the time ! Tolkien based his orcs/goblins on his experiences wit...

Plus, it's not like DenizenKane was demonstrating opposite political opinions earlier. A sudden change in allegiance would suggest a hack, but expressing extreme views while having previously been silent can just be indicative of having been dumb all along and only recently deciding that expressing ...

This kind of thing isn't exactly my fetish, and really it's barely even in the same neighborhood, but I still respect the quality of the craft here. The appearance of the dommes vs. the subs is kind of repetitive, but there are several distinct figures in a situation that doesn't fall cleanly into a...

I wish I could find that webcomic where the bad guy just shoots Sailor Moon in the head while she's transforming. I can't even remember which webcomic it was. Anyway, the point here is that villains exploiting the 15 second transformation time of a sailor scout, whether to attack her or run away or ...

Ever seen a video of ISIS lining up a bunch of Shia to be shot? There's almost never any restraints involved. A bunch of ISIS psychopaths with assault rifles tell them to march to where they're going to be shot, and they just do it . ISIS start murdering them one by one, tossing bodies into the rive...

The presence of insanity in Lovecraft's work has been drastically exaggerated by his fanbase, and even in his own writings a lot of it comes down to expecting his own neuroses to be ubiquitous. He could get away with that in the 1920s when society was shitty enough that you could lose face for sayin...

The Spanish Flu comparison doesn't entirely hold, because the administration of Woodrow Wilson didn't have such a spectacularly incompetent response to the crisis that the general population of certain states might decide they'd rather their governor be the supreme executive. A comparison to the Ame...

The reasons why cultural appropriation is bad aren't very hard to explain, but for some reason they are far less common knowledge than the understanding that cultural appropriation is, for some mysterious and ineffable reason, wrong. So here's the thing: When someone knows how your culture works, it...

This game's journey system/campaign are the seeds of the wilderness adventure system I designed like eight years ago. I really liked how things were divided up by terrain and threat in a way that made you really care about the places you were passing through, but it was way too fiddly and any player...

That's hilarious, Prak, but it's even worse in the Mormon church (and yes. I'm fucking calling them Mormons even though their dipshit prophet said not to). Their prophet was also a pedophile married to a 12-year-old, so... The Mormon prophet is the supreme executive of the church. Maj is presumably...

Coronavirus isn't intentionally trying to wipe out humanity, but it's also not intentionally trying to survive as a species. Each individual virus acts to survive and reproduce, but there is no greater plan to survive x generations from now. Coronavirus might just be terrible environmentalists with ...

A lot of speculation is going on about how the whole coronavirus thing might play out, and a lot of it is going on in the kind of sensationalist hysteria that makes me suspect the person speculating listens to InfoWars unironically. A couple of possible scenarios are taking shape, but I have no idea...

Anecdotal observation: Octopus sounds like it's latin, so people who like to use latin pluralizations for loanwords from latin went around claiming (like Bender) that the correct pluralization was octopi.

And here I was worrying I may have gone too far having a grand total of three distinct rest lengths in my current project. Having really granular rest lengths isn't going to convince the party to take anything less than the maximum one. If you want the party to take fewer rests, you need time to be ...

Is anyone on this forum other than Shrapnel (openly) autistic? I dimly recall something about Koumei being considered autistic by one doctor, but then later there was a second opinion that she wasn't, and even that's a vague memory. Shrapnel's definitely the one who actually brought it up recently. ...
