To my knowledge, fbmf mostly banned certain forms of political conversation specifically in the wake of Frank packing it in. Politics discussion was given a second chance after Frank packed it in by fbmf, and it just kept getting worst until it was permanently banned, despite being completely Frank...

Sincere and open discussion on political matters is good . If a byproduct is that someone who can't handle legitimate criticism is made to take the implications of his bloviating seriously by placing it in context and he subsequently fucks off because he can't handle that, good riddance. Except tha...

All I have to say is that there's a specific level of hell for GMs who allow their players to roll a sword dude only to troll them with post-modern Friendship Is Magic morality in the mud middle ages, thus making the only thing their character was built for useless. Eh, you can still have useful fi...

USA government fires specialist warning about new COVID-10 outbreak Then it turns out the new outbreak was true. But since it's the USA government doing it, it's totally fine and nobody here complains. Those sailors were clearly all very stupid communists suffering from dementia and rapists to boot...

But let's start to hoard vaccines anyway in case they might work against Covid, not like tuberculosis is nasty and people might legitimately need those. It's one of if not the most effective vaccine in recorded history, plus indeed tubercolosis is pretty nasty on its own so doesn't hurt to try. Not...

Tubercolosis vaccine can be effective against coronavirus! That greatly explains why some countries seem to be a lot less affected by COVID-19 despite being side by side with countries with thousands of deaths. The countries with significantly less deaths are those that had implemented strong unive...

Now personally I'm against the typical DnD gods as character power source model precisely because it makes an Act 3 where you fight gods really hard to do. But based on the gods and domains table it seems like we are just supposed to accept the cognitive dissonance. -Username17 The Gods are not the...

Remember when back in February UK companies outright banned their workers from wearing masks?
Meanwhile in the USA people who still get to go to work but wear a mask are getting straight-out fired.
So hmmm, yeah, good luck containing it like that.

If the system has any value to people in the future, I hope that it’s to propagate the idea that magic *should* be more like open ended engineering and less like a Vancian spell slinger. I just don’t think that is feasible to achieve in a satisfying way in Dungeons and Dragons. Every existing editi...

An important lesson here is how easy it is to understimate a pandemic. China took a lot of flak for taking their time to start taking measures, but then turns out that most other countries mostly just pointed and laughed even as COVID entered their populations despite already having China's situatio...

And when Gandalf the Wizard gets a proper trained warhorse (not a pegasus or unicorn or gryphon, just a fucking masterwork but still nonmagic horse), it's treated as a freaking holy relic. *adjusts his nerd glasses* Shadowfax is not a 'masterwork but still nonmagic horse'. He is the king of horses,...

Speaking of oriental guns https://imgur.com/ArGP3r3.png Outlaw Star has the main protagonist use both normal guns and a single-shot pistol that fires ancient magic bullets. There's quite a lot of different magic bullets, but they're in limited supply since nobody can craft craft them anymore (magic ...

Politics, politics never change... Isn't there already at least one Gits rpg already anyway? But yeah, makes for a nice setting. Also a bit late but Guns are big shoulder mounted things that are used by peasant soldiers on the battlefield. https://imgur.com/0oOzwz0.png Samurais totally used guns too.
