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.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

5E D&D has become the US college town that the players are playing in with the serial numbers filed off.

Thank God for the Lego sex preferences study.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

"colour" lens for dyslexia?

I don't think dyslexia works that way.

Amount of posts before jhkim shows up says (paraphrasing) "well actually it was 2e with their moral panic that (blah, blah, blah) that started it..."

I'm guessing we don't even get off page one before a reply.

I would think this would be problematic for two reasons.

Firstly, the ongoing complaint about how spellcasters get to do everything leaving the less privileged, magically deficient characters unfairly  marginalized by the magicarchy.

Secondly, that being disabled is something that needs to be corrected for by the disabled person and not accommodated for by GM/game rules/monsters/gods/universe.  Like all NPOs and monsters need to know sign language.

A more proper magical spell would be "Magic Mouth and Hands", allowing the magic mouth to also sign for the deaf.

From the title I thought it would be much worse.  Something like: "The combat tampon" + berserker mode is the "The bloody combat tampon".  I would not be surprised if that gets made by the fuckwads.

I owe you a beer for this one.

Wait?  So if these "Disability Cantrips" require a cantrip slot does that mean they've put an ability cost on disabled characters?  I mean if "Stairs To Gentle No Slip Ramp With Railing" costs a wheel chair bound character a cantrip slot they're deliberately punishing that character in the mechanics for their disability.  Should Halflings have to take "Reach High Shelf" are you saying short people can't reach high shelves?  Why are you charging a premium to play a short character?  Good heavens! What abelist nonsense!
