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.

It wouldn't be a good thread without Brady inventing a new way to be wrong.

I have no problem with Ancestry instead of Race as if its used as a catch-all for backgrounds.

In AiME they call it Cultures. That seems fitting enough.

Once Kosmos put up his defenses we came soooo close to making this thread a PbP.


That would have been fun.

OD&D doesn't have "protection from fire," so he's burning merrily away.

It does have the potion of fire resistance and the ring of fire resistance; both confer immunity from normal fires.  Of course, one might also need some way to breathe...

Quote from: Christopher Brady;1033620No.  It didn't keep it alive, but Pathfinder is what killed 4e, and the only reason why Pathfinder 1e was able to even exist (because although, technically you can't copyright rules, most people don't know that) was due to the OGL spelling out that they could.  4e died on the vine, it was stillborn.  Simply because gamers could finally stick with an edition they knew, rather than try for some oh so scary CHANGE!

I disagree. 3.5 was a bloated wreck by the time the new edition came along. The problem was that what they replaced it with was not D&D.

And Pathfinder just added to the bloat and people were OK with that.  In fact, a lot of D&D 3.x fans actually claimed that PFRPG was the 'second coming'.  Disagree all you like, evidence suggests otherwise.

You're correct in that the OGL made it impossible for WotC to shelve 3/3.5 without consequence.

Where you're full of shit due to your own mental issues is claiming that people didn't like 4e because it was "scary change".  They didn't like 4e because...they didn't like 4e.  4venger fandom and idiotic marketing didn't help, but WotC chose to create a tactical miniatures RPG with cardgame and MMO sensibilities and pass it off as D&D 4th Edition instead of D&D Tactics.

If Cubicle 7 took WarhammerQuest and reskinned it as Warhammer 4th Edition, people would be upset and not because of "scary change".
