TTRPGs, Warhammer, MMORPGs, and geeky things. Views are my own. Conservative but not political. Just when I thought I was out, WoW (Forever) pulled me back in.

The Paladin topic is amusing because that seems to be the one and only hill people are willing to die on, because they can't get over the fact D&D still uses that name while it's not the same class. You don't see these arguments about Druids, Rangers, or anything else.

If D&D called it "Champion" like Pathfinder does, 99% of the "Paladins MUST be Lawful Good and Human" argument vanishes because it's not a Paladin anymore (although clearly the same thing). They are literally too caught up in a single word to see the forest through the trees.

As I have been saying for years, the difference between woke and not woke is all in the presentation. Having gay characters or stories involving refugees does not make something woke, preaching and shoving your politics down the player's throat makes it woke.

Paladin means more like "best of the best" not "purest of the pure" but since D&D forced them all to be LG holy warriors, well.... that definition has crept into the zeitgeist anymore, it seems. I had many an argument with my DM in the late 80's about that alignment restriction. I wanted my Lawful Evil Paladin of Hextor, darnitall!

Uninstalling Discord solves all of these problems, and a bunch of new ones that haven't even been invented yet!

The attributed shields of Sir Lancelot and King Arthur. You don't need a fancy shield for your knight. You just need something recognizable. Though I've taken to calling Lance's shield 'The Barber Pole Shield.'

Hasbro named Dan Ayoub, Senior VP of Dungeons & Dragons, President of Wizards of the Coast & Hasbro Digital Games. He is the first internal promotion into the role. More of the same yields more of the same. Ayoub talks change but never produces it. The digital chapter continues.

Unrelated to my normal ranting... A lot of companies really need to be educated on the fact that if everything is high priority or an escalation (btw I hate that word with a passion), THEN NOTHING IS.

Sorry for the bellular jumpscare, but this is one of those moments where Blizzard is 1000% deserving of the maximum amount of criticism, and even harassment. Do NOT fucking lie to your playerbase. Take that shit off the store.
Kul'tiran housing decor bundle in the store! Ever wondered why i dgaf about having a professional relationship with Blizzard anymore? When their words mean nothing, Interviews are a waste of time. us.shop.battle.net/en-us/pro…

RP seems to be the only ruleset not working ("No realms Available"), the others (including RP-PVP) seem to work.
