Freud destroyed hundreds of eels (at least 129) looking for their dicks and when he couldn't find their eel dicks (because he was looking at glass eels, which don't have dicks yet) he turned to psychoanalysis instead.

So that's where the concept of a freudian slip comes from?

As regards DnD talk I once made the profoundly stupid decision to try and run a DnD game for 9+ people who were learning the system over facebook chat. It was an absolute pissing disaster.

Can you prove thinking is occurring?

I find it tends to be the bard because of the way they build around charisma, so every single interaction suddenly becomes a speech challenge.

A properly played bard is a fantastic asset to the party, it's just that nobody ever plays them properly / keeps trying to seduce the dragon.

My wife tends to play bards, and while I highly doubt she plays them ‘properly’ they’re always a laugh.

First one was a goblin who focussed on being as annoying as possible (took bagpipes, kazoo and penny whistle as favoured instruments). Then more recently a magpie person (aarakocra or something) who was a local hero and obsessed with nothing more than collecting shiny objects.

Both of varying use (though it’s hard to be completely useless in 5e) but a lot of fun to play with.

Since we're doing D&D chat, just a reminder that 5E was designed by a rape apologist who hired a nazi and a rapist as consultants. When people who had been harassed by the rapist raised concerns, he doxxed them to said rapist. He faced no consequences other than having to shut up on twitter.

Don't pay money for D&D, play better RPGs by independent designers who deserve your money.

I think it's just exhausting being scolded for enjoying a product assocated with an abuser/bad person in a world where literally every industry under the sun promotes and protects abusers.

That sounds like a Warcraft themed game, in which case the magpie people are the Arakkoa.

Given that damned near everything in D&D can be half-dragon, I feel like seducing one should not be a particularly challenging skill check.

There are half-dragon gelatinous cubes, for Christ's sake.

Some people might not know, and might decide to play something different once they do know. If I actually do scold someone for playing D&D as opposed to simply giving them a reason why they might want to play something else instead, feel free to go off.

It's nice to see the argument for diverse content creators made from first principles.

Like there's a bunch of CoC universe properties made by BAME creators that, while they are probably not themselves angelic paragons devoid of sin, at least have good and interesting ways of deconstructing Lovecraft's racism and even playing with ideas like "racism is an invisible force that slowly drains your sanity".

The point is everything contains abusers. You may as well barge into any Ubisoft thread in Games or practically any Hollywood film thread in CineD and run off the same spiele, there's just no escaping that at some point most people are going to part with money that is going towards someone who did something horrific. So maybe at some point you don't need to hear the word 'D&D' and immediately inform everyone in the vicinity that it was made by BAD PEOPLE and strongly imply they are also bad people if they engage with it.

Came to post more or less exactly that. :hmmyes:

As someone who doesn't have an RPG group, I do think people who are deep in the hobby kind of fail to understand quite how hard it can be to get people to play an TTRPG, & D&D is at least something they might have heard of. Which does make a difference.

You're right, no game is perfect but there are better ones made by people who, at the very least, are not confirmed abusers.

There are some pretty good games based on Lovecraft's work and in my experience the better ones will include useful guidance for GMs so they don't accidentally recreate his less blatant racism when writing their own adventures.
