See? Even you are my ally!

Lizard people. I know they don’t exist, you knows they don’t exist and anyone who thinks they exist will not view me as their enemy.

“Do you have any feelings whatsoever about the way automobile taillights work in the US?”

“No, why would I?.”

“After you watch this video, you’re going to write your congressman.”

What kind of friend wouldn’t allow ear licking?

I get the hate for truck beers, don’t DUI folks. But what’s wrong with girl dogs?

Thanks Obama!

I think we could work it out. We can for driving tests.

I don’t think we can. Have you seen the results of our “driving tests”?

In all seriousness though. I get what you want to do, but this isn’t how you get there.

Honestly, I would just ban it entirely at this point. I’d rather see the abolition of marriage entirely than have the government dictate who can and cannot participate (outside of consent issues, obviously).

I mean, go forth. Be fruitful. Multiply.

Eat, drink, be merry with each other.

Just leave the government out of it.

I like your ideas, but have you considered that this one:

All natural resources, be it harvested (e.g. ores, oil) or otherwise (e.g. land, air), are property of everyone. If any individual is to monopolise and/or utilise some of these resources, they are to compensate everyone else for doing so.

Effectively makes literally everything free? Not that this would be a bad thing. It just makes so many of the other things irrelevant.

You’ve had plenty of time to elaborate on your claims of the “rampant success of workers unions” and your answer is “Google it”?

No. This is unacceptable. You tell me what you believe is evidence of the “rampant success of workers unions” or concede that there hasn’t been anything approaching "rampant success of workers unions"in quite some time.

Savor the Federation!

Was it this one?

But if you’re American it was 1937.

Right. So, 86 years ago? How does this explain the rampant success of workers unions?

And when was this, exactly?

how do you explain the rampant success of workers unions?

Excuse me? The what?

Prove it.

Once they have enough market share, they will start making all D&D releases “exclusive” to their horrible walled garden. And that means if you want to play modern D&D, your only option is to put up with their abusive business practices.

Due to the nature of DND and the way VTTs work, that’s just but going to be possible. D&d is always going to be maps and encounters and these are always going to be replicable with little to no effort. The sooner WotC accepts the fact that the best source of profits they have are the intellectual properties they actually own. Specifically Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Greyhawk, Spelljammer and the like, the better off they’ll be.

Instead of trying to gate keep the rules of the game which neither logistically nor legally can actually be restricted in the way they want, they ought to be focusing on creating a better source of DND material. One needs look no further than YouTube to find the model that WotC needs to follow to encourage growth and sustainable profits. YouTube doesn’t own the process of making videos nor can it prevent content creators from releasing their videos on other platforms. All they’ve done is create an environment where it’s easier and more profitable for creators to publish in.

Wizards doesn’t even need to own the VTT to control the marketplace. There really isn’t any good reason for them to create a VTT and they aren’t going to make one anytime soon that’s going to compare with the products that are already available. They’d serve themselves and their customers far better if they just fostered a marketplace where user content can easily be shared and published to any VTT available.

To be fair, it’s already pretty uninteresting.

You can’t be prompted this way into losing the game. If anything, OP has forever forfeited any possibility of ever winning the game and may lose any chance he may have had of Olympic competition.

Once you’ve seen the sausage made it’s hard to love sausage. Doesn’t mean the sausage is terrible, it just makes you think of watching it get made.
