Why would you ever want to mix those two particular settings? They share nothing thematically. Like, literally nothing.

Heh. Again, trying to be fair and balanced. I've used Rols 20 and had good experiences with it. It ran an Ironsworn campaign on it and it worked really well. And there are some really good things about it. tabbed windows being one of the best features. Not having massive numbers of...

Again, even after reading the article, there isn't a whole lot new here. This has been hashed out here on these boards and elseward a bunch of times over the last ten or fifteen years. It started, IMO, with the shift in D&D art and then has spread to the rest of the game. The fact that this...

There is another element here as well. So much of the stuff that went on in the hobby for a very long time went very much unexamined. It was accepted without question by a lot of the fandom and dissenting voices that were trying to point out issues were largely ignored. That worm has turned...

Again, too be fair, the issue is hardly one that's new and no one's ever heard of. This has been long documented and discussed. It's been sort of in the news recently because of the increased scrutiny of the history of the hobby. And, Mr. Musk's comment about wanting Hasbro to "burn in Hell"...

To be fair, it is behind a paywall, which does make it rather hard to read. But, yeah, this is a fairly perennial issue. LIke the mythical hydra, you cut off one head and two grow. We point out facts, complete with actual direct evidence and people STILL insist that it never happened or it's...

Well, sort of. I mean, the issues in SF and Fantasy genre circles predate by a LOOONG time the notion of pandering to the algorithm. F&SF have long been the "boys club" genre. You seen this in so much of 20th century genre fiction and circles. That it exists in D&D and RPG circles is not...

I think one needs to understand that while, yes, this stuff absolutely existed in the hobby and fantasy fandom at large, it is such a small part of the fandom. I don't believe that this was ever the predominant viewpoint in the hobby or the fandom, but, rather evidence of a small subset that...

((Really, REALLY not directed at you. Like, not at all. Not even a little. Just using your story here as a really, REALLY good example)) So, you're telling me that you had a problem with payment, contacted customer support, had a bit of a wonky bit with understanding the resolution (totally...

Just to double repeat this. He absolutely did not say that his products use AI. And, I hope that anyone skimming this will not read your post and think that you are, in any way, correct here.

I've been critical of Fantasy grounds for a number of reasons, but, customer service certainly isn't one of them. Problems that I've had have been professionally and quickly fixed and they have very kindly taken my very non-technical brain and led me step by step to solutions. When I was...

I'm one of those. Or, at least I used to be. I didn't think that they'd put out a setting like Dark Sun simply because it's asking for too much trouble. But, times change and the social winds blow in different directions, so, it's pretty likely we're going to see it.

To be fair, standardizing "energy" types was a 3e thing. Sure, you fire or lightning damage in earlier editions, but, there was not "thunder" or "radiant" or various other standardized damage types.

Well, that's the thing. You never use it during combat. Obviously. However, given the rather large number of scouting options that a caster might have, setting one up beforehand isn't really all that difficult. I mean, heck, go into the dungeon, set it up in the first large(ish) room you...

Nope, I was 100% wrong. For some reason I never realized that it was always a force bubble. Totally my bad. But, rereading the spell, I do notice that it doesn't block attacks.
