I have been very consistent that people should listen to more modern music, such as things released within the last 10 years. It's extremely boring to listen to the same poo poo all the time and there's more and more and more incredible music being put out every day but it's hard as hell to find frequently.

feeling pretty bad for gary though, explaining the rules to an incredibly complex game that you yourself wrote to a woman with no recourse to leave is the Ultimate Mansplain, and probably would have been extremely satisfying had he been able to pull it off

quote:

In the last years of his life (about 12 to 15 years ago) Gygax held an online question and answer session with fans. In that session, someone asked the age old (for D&D) question: is it okay for "good" characters to murder orc babies when a party stumbles across them in a dungeon. Gygax's answer was "nits make lice".

To those who don't know, this is a quote from the orders of US Army Colonel John Chivington prior to the 1863 Sand Creek massacre. In the Sand Creek massacre, Chivington and his men murdered more than 150 Native Americans, most of whom were women and children, then mutilated their bodies to make trophies. The phrase "nits make lice" was used by Chivington to justify murdering the children in particular.

So to Gary Gygax, D&D heroes were the sort of people who break into the homes of "unruly" natives to murder their women and children. That is what D&D was to him.

That mentality on race seems to follow from Tolkien and Tolkien related-media in general, D&D just codified it into a RPG.

There is actually a book in Russian that essentially makes the point that the kingdoms of man are just a bunch of warmongering imperialists.

Blizzard went with the “noble savage” stereotype.
