Fortunately they dropped this stuff in 5e.

This is what I'm quoting

Kender cannot stop these things. There's nothing cultural about being "immune to fear". There's a reason afflicted kender are so different. They aren't just kender raised apart from other kender.

I hope you noticed I mentioned the fantasy version of the condition. Also, I did not say complaining about kender is ableist. Rather, the way they're portrayed could be considered ableist.

It's because they're suffering from a fantasy version of ADHD, a fantasy version of unconscious kleptomania, and a fantasy version of Urbach-Wiethe disease, all incurable in-game (except for afflicted kender). We shouldn't be making fun of the mentally ill, and I don't think saying they have a...

Warlords cover battlefield commanders. Generally they're written to command squads (eg adventuring parties) but in setting terms really should be commanding larger armies. A martial Dragon High Lord should be a warlord. They didn't get their job just because they can personally kick ass...

I generally steal the culture of Zilargo gnomes from Eberron. The author really put work into making them cool, and explaining their disparate powers such as why they can talk to burrowing creatures. Any "tech" they use is explicitly magitech, so no exploding steam engines. The Trust is...

I like this a lot. From what little I've read about D&D afterlife, normally you just become a petitioner, which is really weak.

The 3.0 product Enemies and Allies had a guard unit who could probably take on 7th-level PCs. 1. The guard commander was a veteran. 2. This was a special force acting like a "SWAT Team". 3. The book pointed out that these NPCs could ask for help (eg hire more powerful NPCs).

This reminds me of a post on an Eberron forum, where a demon (or devil) with Teleport Without Error (at will) and Dominate Person (at will) could literally take over the entire setting. I don't think there's a "fix" for the varying viewpoints issue, but I use the 3e demographics table as a...

3rd Edition (the real sim edition) had actual rules on demographics. You could consult a table and determine not just the highest level (insert class here) for a city, village, etc, but how many PC-classed characters there are there. I'm not sure what you mean by town guards taking on 7th-level...

Some of them might get hurt, as even billionaires can get scammed: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4459051-tether-a-nearly-70-billion-dollar-time-bomb The issue isn't even how much money was stolen, or how the company tried to hide that, but that (later on) the company decided the cat was out...

I didn't know who this was (never heard the story) but this is discussed on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CA_Suleiman

I think most cryptobros no longer care. The "old generation" cared about transparency and control, but the new generation are just thinking about using cryptocurrency as an "investment". Exchanges are centralizing cryptocurrency anyway, and rather than obey the rule of "not your keys, not your...

Vaguely related, other gaming companies (video games, in this case) are treating NFTs like catnip. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sega-says-future-gaming-includes-190000523.html
