Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
Sad panda.
ReplyDeleteHuh?
ReplyDeletetribality.com - Frontier 5e – Campaign Setting Overview (Part 1)
ReplyDeleteI don't hate that particular sentence. And I was sort of excited about the idea from the headline and the big art. And as I read, I dunno, my enthusiasm just dribbled away. I'd like to play something like that if it were fun.
ReplyDelete"It was the Americans, the last to arrive, who named it the West."
ReplyDeleteWhu.
Like, it’s really not that hard. Start by not writing about real people like you’re writing about elves in the Forgotten Realms.
ReplyDeleteNext post, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWas anybody expecting more from a homebrew 5e setting?
ReplyDeleteCan we shit on this particular D&D homebrewer instead of homebrewers in general?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the concept of this type of game, but a short way into reading and I see something about ability score modifiers based on culture. I'm...not sure about this. The execution, however, leaves something to be desired.
ReplyDeleteSo they use European American for white, and Native American instead of Indian but Negro instead of Black or African American?!?!?! WTF
ReplyDeleteI was going to say this reminded me of really bad d20 splatbook writing.
ReplyDeleteI just skimmed that, most I could bear to do. Why even go into ethnicity? those classes may be interesting, but I can't read it.
ReplyDeleteBut it's an "ENnie nominated website" you guys!
ReplyDeleteAlso, no magic? WHY AM I READING THIS?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I mean there were shamans right? Medicine men? Spirit speakers? ::is sorry::
ReplyDeleteCasey G. My apologies. It's just that this reminded me of some of the stuff you see in the DM's Guild, like the "Heroes of the Orient" series, where in response to me pointing out that maybe it was kind of offensive I got called a SJW and had people buying the product just to spite me.
ReplyDeleteBut, yes, this is a specific failing, not one of the community at large.
/those feels when someone can be a nerd about pretendy gun hex times, but can't be arsed to know the baseline polite terms for actual damn people
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Mark Delsing.
ReplyDeleteSigh
ReplyDeleteSince he was a guest poster did they even bother to look it over before it went on the site? I am interested to know that.
ReplyDeleteI read about half of that post. It needs an editor, pretty desperately.
ReplyDeleteMike Overbo, and that editor just needs one word. No.
ReplyDeleteHeh Jason Kielbasa . As an editor in a former life, a halfway decent editor could turn that into a perfectly acceptable post. It's pretty clear that this is not what happened though. :D
