“oh that race doesn’t make good wizards they are less intelligent than others”

With the word race out of the descriptions, its less likely that someone will get mad over something like that.

This is a real example from early 5e that some people got upset over, to the point some people still mention it, acting all wigged out.

Anything that pushes real world politics away from me games is inherently good.

I guess that’s a natural consequence of just having a lot of people on a platform

Sub for any gaming related content!

Rules:

  • 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
