“I want a system that doesn’t have combat” and “this system does have combat but you can ignore it” are two different things.

No need to be so Darude in a friendly thread.

Warrior of the Chronic Hunger Warrior of the Snow Piles Warrior of the Ecstatic Communion Real Mage: The Ascension vibes here. :)

I don't know how you think "Intoxication Monk" sounds better unless you've already been drinking heavily. :)

I didn't ignore people for a very long time; but over the last few months, I decided to try out ignoring a pretty large swathe of people (over a dozen) to see if it made browsing ENWorld more pleasurable. Turns out, it works great!

My personal take is that LTH is quite useful and powerful, I simply don't see that as a problem. It's certainly affected our games, but player-facing options should affect gameplay; that's the point of having choices!

To my mind, if a game is still being republished/revised into new editions and corebooks, it's still relevant in terms of showing interest of its features. Revision X of a 40 year old sim-type game that's popular shows that sim elements are still relevant to people. If we're not seeing...

If you see a subclass get a really dumb rename, take a shot.

Yea, that's definitely a WTF name change.

Our twilight cleric got it as a domain spell at 5th level, and has pretty much cast religiously (pun intended) every long rest. Ironically, at that time we were being pursued by a bunch of angry bandits, who had tried to ambush us in the past; LTH absolutely turned the tide the next time the...

Well, sure. Any one discussion or other type of content might be unproductive on its own merits, but still enjoyable, and thus the discussion is productive in the larger context of establishing the community. Like, if I buy a car that doesn't run for $50, the car as a car is obviously...

I think the ideas I've elucidated in the last few posts speak for themselves, but if you've come to the conclusion my idea is unreasonable, then I may have to revisit them. The point I was trying to make originally is that discussion is about learning. Learning how and why people disagree with...

100%. People who makes those kinds of posts should generally be ignored. They're a net negative to the community.

True discussion is inherently conflict-laden, because it's about attempting to find a path forward through an inherent disagreement. Trying to find compromise in disagreement is a conflict right up until both sides agree on the compromise. Like this post I'm replying to right here, that you...

I don't consider the transfer of information to explain or elucidate to be a discussion. More of a lecture or a teaching session. What we're doing here, giving clarity into our semantic usage and bouncing different interpretations off of each other, is a productive discussion. Knowing how...
