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.

Simple.  When no reasonable refutation of your point can be given, fall back on religion for the answer ;)
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Obviously they don't. It's just a question of whether or not you think it matters to your game.
Best,

Can someone explain to me how "Tyranny of Dragons" fits into all of this?

It's actually a 6 x 6 table, we've already had the Plague of Drow, and WW published Tyranny of Undead and Devastation of Lycanthropes as their own game lines.

Satire is so much less funny than real life. ;)

For the same reason we arent all playing one version of D&D.

Could be a holdover from where WOTC was planning to totally reboot Dragonlance.

Or could be a reboot of Council of Wyrms.

Or could be the equivalent of Dragonomicon.

Or something else weird. Like someone thought it was a neet title.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.
