If shareholders take you to the court for not prioritizing short-term profit at all costs, are you willing to defend this position?

Seconding that, we need more details.

The op of that tumblr thread blocked me after I asked him about the fact things he claimed were common knowledge about a video game I played extensively as a kid do nopt line up with my memory. So I'd take his claims with a grain of salt.

"like a good person in the pre-civil war era" is so darkly hialrious to me. I run in old setting, Mystara, where two biggest empires have legal slavery and are also bittere rivals. One, Thyatis, is based off Roman Empire and biggest hurdle to ending slavery is that whenever you try to argue against it, Thyatians point at other empire, Alphatia, and it's "pre civil-war south style slavery" and argue that next to this their (a.k.a. Roman) style of slavery is very humane.

And I still made it very clear that if any of my players try buying slaves, no god will save them from my wrath.

Precisely. In grander lore Nine Hells is composed off souls Devils basically stole from the Gods and all worshippers of gods, even evil ones, go to their type of heaven. And if that heaven looks like hell, that just tells you this god has some freaks for worshippers.

TheGreatDarkness OP , to RPGMemes in We have entered the time of Reverse Mercer Effect

You are already rewriting the lore as you speak. First of all, always evil races do not go to hell, they go to domains of their gods. Hell is for people who signed a pact or no one else wanted. You're full of shit

TheGreatDarkness OP , to RPGMemes in Quests from the Infinite Staircase will cause such a shitstorm

I have run Lost mine of Phandelver, several of Dragon of the Icespire Peak adventures, two and half modules from Candlekeep Mysteries, one from Twelve Peculiar Towers, one dms guild adventure, I think this is far from not having run a modern module as you accuse me of.

TheGreatDarkness OP , to RPGMemes in Quests from the Infinite Staircase will cause such a shitstorm

I ran quite few old modules and I think it's doing them disservice to just assume their design philosophy was inherently wrong or flawed. Yes, we developed many different ideas and perspectives over the years but they were often aiming for different things and old modules are, I notice, often very good with presenting PCs with a situation and letting them go wild with solutions. I think I prefer them to modern WotC or Paizo formula of a strict linear plot

TheGreatDarkness OP , to RPGMemes in Quests from the Infinite Staircase will cause such a shitstorm

I don't buy WotC after OGL, but I do not think it's necessairly bad to leave some things up for DM's decision. maybe not sailing rules, but still

Then why are you still buying from them? It was well-known they do this before Spelljammer, why did you keep buying?

TheGreatDarkness OP , to RPGMemes in More people should treat homebrew the same way a lot treats published modules.

This is not what you have said. you've said "I bet you, to just play another system" and when I've said I do, you've backtracked to claim you meant something d&d derivative". You don't know what games I played. I played AD&D 2e, I played D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder 1e. In fact, I've run my first campaign in Pathfinder 1e and HATED that system. I've also run B/X to my players. I'm running in 5e right now, I won't switch for a flimsy reason. And I'm never running PF1e again. I don't think you get how shitty it is to basically say I'm too stupid to know other games exist because I like homebrew. You couldn't be more condescending if you tried.

TheGreatDarkness OP , to RPGMemes in More people should treat homebrew the same way a lot treats published modules.

I'm already running Blades in the Dark for another group, first session in two days. Wish me luck ;)

I still want to throw crazy homebrew shit at my d&d group.
