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.

Why do so many people feel the need to apologize for AD&D?

Quote from: Alzrius;853397Mind tangent, but this is not true of all corporations. Benefit corporations (or B-corporations) are a type of private corporation that was created specifically to allow corporate officers to also work for the public good alongside pursuing profits, without facing legal penalties for doing so.

I should have said "for-profit corporations".
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

Quote from: soltakss;850604One of the players in an old gaming group used to shake the dice, pause, shake them again, pause, shake them again, say something, shake them again, pause, shake them again, look puzzled when we said "Just roll the bloody dice", shake them again, pause, shake them again and then roll.
What was his explanation for this nonsense? I assume you pointed out how ridiculous this was to him.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

Quote from: EOTB;851173Probably half of the content in the 2E PHB and DMG are labled as optional rules, and all of the non-core books are.

2E wanted to be all things to all people, to the maximum extent that the AD&D framework could be stretched and still be recognizable.
To a large extent I find that's why 5E manages to capture something of a 2E feel - literally everything beyond the basic rules document is optional and the designers have embraced the "big tent" ethos as warmly as they can.

Seems that way. Does make me worry about eventual supplement bloat. But I think we can trust people to make their own choices about what they want to add. I like to say "yes" to most things, so the worst it could lead to, if I ever play 5E as my go-to, I'll have more work to do to ensure things "work" for me. Beyond that, I'd say big tent is the best approach for the hobby these days.

People keep mentioning this. But here we are a year later and theres been all of one supplement so far. The Forgotten Realms book. Which added I believe a swashbuckler path for one of the classes. Not sure what else. Its on order but some time off.

Lets stay on topic now. We only want questions about farming please.
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.

Ok. Fine! Be that way. Agricola still lacks combat rules. :cool:
