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: honeydipperdavid on April 13, 2025, 11:02:14 PMOh that's a good one, what's the slur directed towards Crawford?

Given his proclivities? I'd assume the British word for cigarette or bundle of wood....

Failing that, retard would be my other go-to as well.

The moderates took retard back from the leftists, only retards take offense to retard now.  Next, the cringiest crap I've heard come from a designer not race based insults D&D was the elfiest elf, cringe inducing coma.  If you want to go to race for racist Crawford, that would be that jackass saying the term "half" is inherently racist.  I laughed my arse off at Crawford for that huckleberry.  He just insulted 10.2% of the US population.  Let alone for arguing to remove two of the base races that has been in the game for 50 years for what, to have idiot black block member pat him on his head and tell him he's one of the good ones?  Dumb racist fucker.

Quote from: Svenhelgrim on April 12, 2025, 07:29:35 PMHis interpretation of the rules was pretty bad.  One time he opined that the Detect Invisible spell did not fully reveal invisible creatures to you, and you still had disadvantage on the attacks. 

Even stupider were the people who accepted that ruling. 

His rules interpretàtions once he stopped working àlongside Mearls were gobsmàckingly bad and showed zero understanding of design intent.

His interpretations before that were bad too. Crawford was notorious for giving bad advice about 5e.

The running gag was you were supposed to do the exact opposite of whatever he told you.

If you want a perfect Example of 5E Crawfordism:  He was asked if Find Familiar can summon them through a wall.  Sure he said.  The exact same wording of find familiar is in most other spells in the game, like conjure elemental.  If people listened to Crawford, you would just summon elementals through floors below in a dungeon and let them go on a rampage, why fight, just let them do it a floor below you.

You just described HBO's management of D&D.  My favorite retard moment of Hasbro is they hired the guy who put the trans shit into Dragon Age Veilguard - which turned into a negative meme, in charge of D&D's next video game.  Not kidding you.  Frank Gibeau is on Hasbro's board, he has a background in video games and he was in charge of Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2, so that fuck nut knows what is coming.  And he didn't block the cunt.  Hasbro D&D is more cooked than Disney Star Wars.

The meme where the character says, "I'm non-binary" or something to that effect?

That retarded thing?

Holy shit on a cracker. How to kill a CRPG franchise in record time...

Fair. He seemed to do much worse than random chance. He would consistently seek out the most perverse possible rules interpretàtion to support.
