I mean, that was my point, just explained and therefore unfunny now. Congrats.

It was unfunny before.

Nope; they can advance up to as high as 6th level fighters, or multi-class as fighter/thief. If you're using Unearted Arcana they can be clerics or druids, too (as well as Thief/acrobats).

There was no Thief class in Original D&D until Supplement 1: Greyhawk was released in '75, so halfling players functioned as fighting men (and as long as they stuck to the sling or shortbow they were frightfully effective, esp. if you were using Chainmail's man-to-man combat system).

Don't pollute my 1e or OD&D with that kender bullshit.

"Somewhat paradoxically, the very word ‘tolerance’ has become a pejorative noun, infused with the sense that we have to be permissive of things or people we don’t like, just because that’s the right attitude."

I join Mr. Bean in telling them to fuck themselves.

Lol fuck off, faggots.

Yeah I'm surprised that Wizards didn't do this sooner given how they seem to want to burn out all the people over the decades who bought their shit when they took it from TSR's corpse.

I'm not surprised; entertainment's economy is a spook and they're propped by companies who want to burn money nowadays.

Wizards has shown time and again that they hate their target audience, which is mostly nerdy guys who play D&D with their friends. They really, really want the Steven Universe and Nu-She-Ra fanbase. The special snowflake danger hairs and pervert troons who make every character be a quirky Mary-Sue self insert (or a outlet for their degenerate fetish) and have D&D be a substitute for much needed therapy and psychiatric help. However, with how bad the economy is right now in the states and the West in general, I wouldn't be trying to drive away the majority nerdy male gamers. A lot of people are not going to be able to buy luxury items as much anymore as they did during the beginning of COVID. D&D campaign books and manuals are, at least what I and most others consider, a luxury item. Most people who still are interested in 5e are either going to buy pdf's (as they are cheaper), buy second hand or pirate. Meanwhile, the danger hair and troon crowd from Twitter and Tumblr will not be able to support them as they are both so few and also don't have any money, even before the economy went to the shitter. I expect Wizards profits to begin to go in the decline this year with it only getting worse as the years drag on.

I have little hope for it, but I'm rooting for the Hasbro mutiny.
 
I don't think there will be a munity but I think there will be a steady decline in their sales and profits in the next few years. With how Wizards is going they may just end up like Marvel and DC, in that they have to sell older editions and campaigns to stay afloat. Won't happen right away but it will in due time if they keep up this attitude and appeal to the Twitter and Tumblr crowd. It took the comic industry years to sink as low as it did. Wizards had a massive high during COVID, the fall will soon come unless they do course correction when they see their profits drop.

They probably saw Games Workshop take a steaming hot bowel movement all over their core fanbase, yet still Scrooge McDuck dive in pools of money since GW and their fans made Warhammer the only minis wargame in the world and all others unironically being called "HERESY". Doubly understandable considering how many gamers unironically dont' think any games exist besides D&D.

They took a look at that feat and said "Yea, we can pull that off too"

At least until the axe wound squad finally succeed in getting them to Year Zero all the older material. The fact they're trying to do that was what got me to finally consider Wokescolds to be worse than the God Botherers.

Edmund Blackadder always knew What's Good.

"there have only been a few indie tabletop roleplaying games that openly embrace LGBTQIA+" Jesus titty fucking Christ. They act like every gaming circle or their writers was /pol/.
Granted, I was a little sad to find out that Mike Pondsmith turned out to be a piece of shit segregationist with his "Letting non whites stay in America turned us into a dystopia" smegma he wrote in that CP2020 splatbook, but I still love and played the game regardless.

Not that it mattered, since as REAL gamers know, Cyberpunk doesn't exist, Shadowrun is the only near future cyberpunk game.

Sorry, back to wokescolds. Someone please push them into traffic.

That's he's a nigger? Yea, I knew that back in the 90's.

Doesn't mean a thing about having that viewpoint; see Candace "Blacks should repay slave owners" Owens and Jessie Lee "LESBIAN!" Peterson. It's part of why I've been saying lately that even black people are anti-black now, so I feel no shame in using the word nigger.

The only halfway decent thing these guys did was the Conan d20 game. Other than that nobody ever took them seriously for all the early 3e spamming they did with useless sourcebooks with substandard artwork.

*sigh* Because US socio-economic issues are a lot more complex than "Keep the non whites out of the country and it'll be paradise!" Exactly what is insightful about saying that we ended up in a corporate-ruled wasteland because we didn't kick out anyone who wasn't Caucasian (also Mike forgets that this system would fuck him in the chocolate starfish just as much as it would some Tyrone Crackhead)? Seriously, I don't even hear that from extra chromosome cousin fuckers who's mama thought Jack Daniels was a pre-natal therapeutic.

I may have given up on being some kind of advocate for niggers, but even then, I don't pretend the whole "Kick em out and we'll be in heaven!" is anything short of retarded.

Have you looked at Norway, Finland & Denmark lately? Nepal, where they prioritize population happiness, is not very diverse AND there are no virtually no Blacks, Irish or Italians. I'm just saying there is a very marked trend between lack of Blacks & Irish and the quality of life.

And look, once we ethnically cleanse the US there is room for a few good Blacks and Irish, like Mike. The Italians can stay in their fucking boot.

If having an all white population is all you need to be happy, then rural Appalachia would have the highest standard of living and prosperity in the whole nation.

But yet....

Firstly, most of them have Irish roots. Get rid of the non-whites includes getting rid of the Irish.

Second, there are about 750,000 blacks in prison. The average yearly cost of a prisoner is $36,000, and that doesn't include the cost of arrest, trial, and endless appeals. That is 27 billion dollars freed up from various budgets, money that could be used to give every non-irish hillbilly a new trailer.

Again, not seeing anything that says Mike is wong.

And they call us leftists the authoritarians.

But even if we went with that, would the logistics of forcing them out of the country actually translate into savings? Force re-location of millions is not a cheap task, especially if they decide to quite understandably fight back against being kicked out of their homes by force.

Of course they are, there's also "Put women back into the kitchen." and "Force sexual deviants into hiding again."

Same question. How do you intend to enforce that? What's the logistics?

But a key part of social-economics is social capital. Strongly multicultural societies (cultural, not racial), have reduced social capital. People are naturally tribal, and unite along common cultures. A strongly multicultural society which does not make attempts to assimilate immigrants will become divided alongside cultural lines, as these immigrants form voting blocs to support their interests. However, multicultural, non-assimilatory nations are very hypercapitalist friendly, so neoliberals love them. Large amounts of unskilled workers drives wages down, and it's more difficult to unionize non-assimilatory immigrants. Civil organizations decline because non-assimilatory immigrants don't view themselves as Americans. They don't care about local governments, or organizing, or civic participation.
Unchecked immigration is not a pro-worker position.
