Which is why it's good to get information from multiple sources. Just curious. Which Middle Eastern political figures would you like to see memorialized?

Call me crazy, but I don't think it makes sense to memorialize anyone involved in a hate group, violence or terrorism. Anglo or not.

The best way to avoid all of this is to just come up with your own ideas. I have no interest in negotiating the legal landscape, or any nuance or exception that has been weaved into the copyright laws. All I know is that copying another person's idea is wrong.

If guns are limited in damage, range, rate of fire, and effectiveness, they can be used in a D&D type setting. (e.g. No AR-15's in D&D, please) However, I personally don't care for guns in a medieval-type setting. For those who like mixing magic and technology, I recommend StarFinder.

I don't know how this could be accomplished, but it would be helpful for other games if somehow D&D wasn't the default when people think of TTRPGs.

IE. I just got comfortable with it, and didn't really care to switch to 2E, until later.

Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars (The original), Logan's Run, Six Million Dollar Man, Planet of the Apes, The Twilight Zone, Battlestar Galactica, The Dragonlance books, The Elric of Melnibone books He-Man, Star Blazers, and AD&D, of course.

This is good news. It will help people become less attached to their character and view them as expendable. Welcome back 1E! :);)

Elder Gen Xer. Grognards unite!

It's essentially a matter of self preservation which all beings have regardless of alignment. And if CE beings didn't have a sense of self preservation, the alignment would self-select itself out of existence. What is your source for the definitions of alignment?

From my perspective, smart CE, is someone who does his evil stuff without regard for other people, but recognizes that he has to cover his tracks. Otherwise his evil activities might be curtailed by others.

I didn't say it had anything to do with video games. I said the preference for point buying skills was popularized by video games.

I agree 100%. The whole bard seducing everything is so stale and overused, it's ridiculous.

I personally don't care for point buy if it allows players to mix and match skills that just don't make sense together. Point buy within a defined class with a selection of abilities, specifically for that class, is what I prefer. I know a lot of people are used to video games that allow you to...

Yea, I was a player in a campaign with 8 people. It just moved way too slow, regardless of the GM's attempts to streamline. IMO, 4 or 5 is the sweet spot.
