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.

For myself, I hate the notion.  Alignment is an idiotic enough concept without providing a highly visible and complicated mechanic where the GM and every NPC beats you over the head with how You're Not Playing Your Character Right.

If I think a player's doing a good job of roleplaying, then I give him or her more XP.  (Certainly no part of that assessment involves How You're Supposed To Play A Thief, say.) That's it.  Simple, easy, no arguments.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.
