Why is he correct?
Quote from: oggsmash on April 24, 2024, 08:44:13 AMDoesnt China still use the "World" standard (as in 3rd world) standard for poverty? Meaning it might have gleaming shiny cities but its poverty line is on the order of 700 bucks a year or there about? So I am not so sure the population was lifted out of poverty in the developed world sense. I think they created some rich people and developed something that looks like a middle class but also have people living in way deeper poverty than anything the USA understands.

To my mind, the holy grail of good RPG design is to have it that a player can make decisions entirely based on understanding the game world and in-game situation, without even needing to understand the rules, and the rules will bear out the effectiveness of that decision as it would be in the fiction. The point of all of this weapon and armor realism is not simulation for it's own sake, but to produce the same incentives in equipment and combat choices as would exist if the game world was real.
Agreed... that would be ideal.

(quoted for posterity if this thing should disappear)QuoteOk, I like the Greek Gods, or at least thought I did. But I'm starting to think I need a sanitized version, since they are too problematic in their original form, even for the Black Dog line.
How can I rationalize that they are morally more progressive (in that no means no, among other things) for players at the table. They don't need to be something from a Disney Cartoon, but I want them to feel authentic and believable, while not being HORRIBLE.
Now, on a scale from 0 to brain dead clam, how many neurons did you have to lose to write something like that ? I'm literally speechless.
