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: Man at Arms on September 04, 2024, 11:48:18 PMWOTC is trying really hard, to convince me that the 50th+ Anniversary Edition, is not written for people like me.

They are pulling out all the stops.
I picked the book up yesterday. A lot of the art is indeed terrible, but some of it is pretty good (like the berserker barbarian). However, if you ignore the art and focus on the mechanics--mainly the classes and backgrounds since I'm not crazy with the changes to race/species--then it does have some positive changes.

Quote from: M2A0 on September 04, 2024, 10:32:50 AMIt's not even authentic Seattle food, that would be Teriyaki.
Don't forget some awesome clam chowder, quick service Hawaiian pork & cabbage, tons of Korean BBQ, and more.

The 4 food groups of Seattle are in descending order of density: Teriyaki, Vietnamese (Pho/Banh Mi centric), Thai, & Korean.

The best Korean in the US outside of LA is clustered in South Tacoma/Lakewood.

I'm quite aware. During the years I spent at JBLM, I tried a lot the Asian foods in the area. Not all were good, but some were fantastic.

When I was in Seattle it seemed like it was Thai everywhere, but that was some time ago.

and yet most of them don't know how to cook.

I thought that was more the Millenials?

Wait until he finds out that older millennials are confused with boomers.

Shit, I'm Gen X and I was called a boomer. I practically lost my shit. Me? A boomer? Fuck no! Baby boomers are the post-WWII kids born '46 to '64. MY DAD is a boomer, not me.

Boomer was also used to describe some 90s kids. Seems like the term, like every term, gets misused alot. Back in the 00s I thought it was a term for 90s kids and did not know it was an older term till looked it up.

I'm kind of an oddball. I am gen X but my parents were part of the greatest generation ( both born in the 1920's). I had a half brother who was a boomer.

Crazy, that. Just like on these forums where anyone left of (*insert goal post here) is a Marxist! Seriously though, it drives me crazy that Gen X is basically obscured as even existing for most Millenials & Gen Z & A.

IMO, the biggest problem with the Heroes' Feast depicted is that there's nothing there but the most banal and basic idea of 'food.' No historic verisimilitude; no cultural, mythic or legendary associations; no fantasy, beauty and wonder; not even exoticism ... it's just so bland.

It's obviously taken from some Stock Photo of "executives eating multicultural food at restaurant".

Quote from: Eric Diaz on September 04, 2024, 11:05:21 AMCan someone post the image being discussed? The link doesn't work for me.

Thank you.

Ask and ye shall receive:


Is that the real picture? I see three light-skinned people looking very happy while they eat the food, while an unhappy dark-skinned server brings them more.

*Clutches pearls*

I thought society had moved beyond those sorts of stereotypes?

Rush in and die, dogs—I was a man before I was a king."

I don't particularly care what cuisine they put in an image but the thing that takes me out of the feast in question is it looks like a spread from a US mall food court.

The little umbrella in the drink is a nice touch.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.
