This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: THE_Leopold on November 20, 2024, 11:20:40 AMI can't wait to spend an entire sessions around making tacos, sushi, and then brewing coffee to get my next milestone for my furry fighter in the combat wheeelchair.

Someone should write up an absurdly woke scenario along those lines and see what happens. Quests could include going to a protest against Half Orcs (who we now know are a racist concept) and support of Strahd rally's (because suggesting some folks are totally evil is wrongthink) and of course getting folks to sign a petition demanding wheelchair access at Castle Greyhawk.

This is so brilliant and painful to my brain to write that no sane person could live through creating this horrorshow.

Greetings!

*Laughing* So true, brother!

You know me. I'm definitely a "Foodie" and I love coffee. All terrific things. Somehow though, the Woke morons make me feel *ICKY* and ridiculous with such attention paid to good food and fine coffee.

I sometimes wonder how deeply emotionally and mentally damaged the Woke people are. You have a heroic fantasy adventure game, with all of the fantastic inspiring elements of history and fantasy rolled up together--but Woke morons have somehow taken an off-ramp and collectively said "NO" to all of that--and instead focus on interesting side-dishes in a normal game session and make them the focus of the entire game.

Making tacos? Eating Sushi? Working at a coffee shop? Making friends in the courtyard?

The Woke people make all of that sound so infantile, and childish. In a weird way, you know? Normal things that are at least mildly interesting, entertaining, and fun--and yet, the way they present it and obsess over it with such bright-eyed enthusiasm makes me roll my eyes in contempt.

It is also weird for me, because as you know, I often feature side-quests and downtime in my campaigns for players to embrace more campaign immersion, getting to know the local cultures, making friends, going to different restaurants, and often gaining access and experiencing things like coffee, cigars, and pipes, with different kinds of tobacco. It's all fun and cool. Truth be told, I've been including such elements in my campaign literally for *decades*. My players have never thought I was somehow being ridiculous or some weird feminized, metro-sexual Soy-boy. *Laughing*

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

These woke monsters live in perpetual fear. Lot of that going around these days.

They don't want to play D&D, they want to have validation of their lifestyle by taking over cultural space and communities.

Quote from: HappyDaze on November 15, 2024, 12:54:18 AMThis is not the time to try and demand strict realism from the D&D mechanics, as they never followed such closely before.
Yeah, we got game system like "GURPS" if we want realism...

It is EXACTLY as realistic as Bunnies & Burrows. I own a copy of GURPS Bunnies & Burrows to prove it.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.
