At this point, I think it might be constructive if you and I asked ourselves "what might be the cause if this enforced difference?" Not sure you've ever tried to see the value in the thing you're so clearly upset about, but if you did, it might actually help. I believe the affairs are in this...

To be precise: I'm mostly wondering about Person C's experience, the person talking to Person A who put person B on Ignore. Just dismissing any or all concerns with "if you've been ignored, nobody cares about your experience" is not the constructive post I was looking for. What about when...

There is one aspect where I'm at genuinely curious about how it came to be like that, the thought process during development. When the two way blocking removes a quote entirely, without even leaving the slightest hint content was removed. Person A puts person B on Ignore. Person C replies to...

Just so we're clear: There's a large difference in action economy between a bonus action cast like Healing Word and an action cast like Cure Wounds.

He's one of the very best fantasy cheesecake artists. He has drawn hundreds of images many people will find sexist, especially today. I don't think he's particularly worried about how he comes off to you... (I mean, if you want to be offended, I'm certain he's done artwork that's far easier to...

Except that's not true. Elmore specifically states there would have been zero ambiguity if he intended to draw a female figure. I'm inclined to believe him over you. And besides, have a look at a random sample of his art, and you will believe him too... :)

Taken with no context, it isn't crazy, of course. But the second you realize it's an Elmore painting, you would immediately realize how unlikely it would have been for Elmore to pass up an opportunity for some cheesecake. So we can give the artist the benefit of the doubt: "Whoever thought...

I don't think we're disputing the validity of the mini. Of course, they could just have asked Elmore. If they wanted a female hero, they didn't have to appropriate one Elmore thought of as male. Elmore drew hundreds of female heroes. If they wanted one fully clothed and couldn't find one of...

If his clarification changed your mind, you could always go back and edit out the name-calling.

He's not weird. He painted the warrior, had a male in mind, and said so. He explained that if he had had a female in mind, you'd probably recognize it as a female.

He's discussing with Parmandur. Pro tip: let's assume you're reading this on Chrome on your phone. Share the page into a second browser (say Opera) where you have not logged in to ENWorldl. You can now read the entire thread, complete with posts from people the Ignore system otherwise would...

Could I kindly ask to tone down the "you're doing it wrong" rhetoric? Maybe you actually aren't the enlightened one that knows how the game truly is to be played? Maybe 5e is enjoyed and successful because of and not in spite of the designers' efforts? Thanks

That discourse will be happening. In a year or two, when the excitement has died down and people start realizing the new 5E is just like the old 5E. So that's why I thought the timing was off. The announcements and media hoopla should come next fall, not this fall. Now, there's no time in...

As I explained in a previous post, I disagree. There definitely is more to being a D&D game than saying so 🙂

TBH I have no idea what a F20 game might be. Did you mean D20?

Just to clarify: 2nd edition Pathfinder is an entirely new game that does not build upon 1st edition. It is to 1st edition what 4th edition is to 3rd edition D&D. Just to say that if you wish for a game to "come into its own", maybe be careful what you wish for...? 😉

Just a random comment: I would think repeating the same design comment as in a previous edition would feel wasteful and redundant. Commenting upon new or changed rules, sure, absolutely. Providing insight in previous design or comments, yes please. But the previous edition design comments can...

Yes. And more to the point, replying to criticism with "you can always ignore it if you don't like it" is never the insightful constructive response you (not you Yaarel) think it is.

YMMV but I'm actually quite sensitive. If it veers to far off from regular D&D it just doesn't feel like the same game to me. Games that do away with the iconic class structure aren't D&D to me; it needs fighting man, thief, mage, cleric at the very least. Classless games aren't D&D. Games that...
