SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

I've said it before but I'm never averse to repeating myself: It's the desire to see one's experiences of real-life obstacles represented through the character without those experiences actually being an obstacle to the character, because the goal is the simultaneous validation of one's real experience as "enough" while still investing in the fantasized experience of transcending the limits of that experience.

If this is an option some groups can make work for their own satisfying entertainment, more power to them. I don't object to products like this, only to the moral browbeating that always turns up in their marketing (like the "ableist" accusation that conflates acknowledging practical limits with implications of diminished personal worth).

QuoteWOTC should just say that everyone is now cured, healed, and made whole.  All characters are now normal, and ready to start exploring some dungeons!!!  ::)
