The specific use of the word "triggered" is to insult rape survivors. The general use of it is yet another way to insult progressives for wanting to do anything at all . The "logic" goes, if you want to do something, it means you don't like the present order of things (duh); liki...

but the fact that each color has a defined set of heroic and villainous tropes to work with is a huge step forward over every alignment system D&D has ever had. -Username17 Color-coding is awesome, but it doesn't serve even remotely the same function as alignment does for people who use it. Col...

I still advocate for switching to the five MtG alignments. To the extent that alignments have a purpose, it's to provide roleplaying prompts to new players by giving them a finite list of options they can pick from, and MtG alignments are better for that because they're so much more clear. How? Let...

SCP the fictional organization isn't exactly Medecins Sans Frontieres, they're an unaccountable militant conspiracy that routinely purges its staff and at least one of the characters who run it is a neo-Nazi.

This reminds me of a semi recent viewing of The Expanse.

Shadows (or any spawn undead, really) eat the whole world and turn everything into spawn.

You really need to define "thing" to even start arguing about "everything". In the broad sense, "everything" is a continuum, and thus a single random thing out of a continuum can't happen even once. In the particular case of a thing being a game event described using a ...

I must be parsing that wrong, I'm reading that as Nx5x10+N+20=170. Which gives me almost, but not quite, 3. Yeah I don't either. Nx5x10 + 10 + 20 = nope Nx5x10 + (5+10) + 20 = nope Nx5x10 + Nx5x10 + 20 = nope Nx5x10 + (5x10) + 20 is the only reading that gives an integer N, but it's a massive stret...
