Someone needs to have a word with goblins and let it be known their deliberate use of dungeons which aren’t wheelchair accessible will no longer be tolerated.

There's only one acceptable, inevitable outcome of dungeon-delving in a wheelchair:

Campaign idea: play characters are hired by OSHA and have to make sure all the dungeons are handicapped accessible.

 

[Velvet Sedan]

My regulars it's become a joke to use magic wheelchairs and the absurd benefits they bring. Sieging wizard towers has never been easier with non-dispellable flying chairs armored to the teeth.

Big trouble in Little China is a great example of subverting expectation, with the white guy being a bubbling bafoon that is always saved by the chinese sidekick or the love interest.

But it was from an era where there was no DiVeRsItY

If a player wants to play as being in a wheelchair in a setting that has magic to fix them, I'll let them.

But any magic/ non physical means to help them move won't work. Good luck traveling through uneven carverns. If you have to flee the monsters and get past a wide gap, have fun. I'm sure your fellow party members will stop and take the time to assemble a rope bridge or something while the monsters are chasing all of them.

I think it’s funny how in a world with greater restoration they would still be in a wheelchair…

Did the Zak Sabbath/Smith debacle in the OSR community result in anything besides bullshit?

Which one?

 

[Fromtheblackdepths]

Which one?

There was another besides Mandy Morbid?

I've never even heard of them, but Zak is often in trouble with leftoids and others because he's unsubtle about his hatred for the people he hates. He gets into controversy every year almost.

That's pretty based and kiwipilled. On the Mandy Morbid thing though, did the OSR community forgive him? I see him on Raggi's Facebook feed.

He recently wrote a tell-all about Vampire 5e, including dishing some dirt on David Hill.

Went and did some brief research. He sued Mandy Morbid for defamation and she did some e-begging, but I don't know if they settled out of court or what. Last year, SomethingAwful poster and terminally-online sperg Ettin publicly apologized and paid Zak a settlement to avoid being sued for his claims about Zak, essentially admitting he made it all up. (Archive) (Archive of the public statement)

I would suspect people largely now realize this was the work of the same bad actors always trying to get him fired. Ettin in particular was a huge Zak S alog on SomethingAwful.

So we may see another Patrick Stuart and Zak. Smith adventure yet.

Scalpers in the wild, a rare video of man babies going wild for Pokemon. One of the comments say they’re loading up on the sports cards but it’s impossible to tell from the video.

Instead of being always evil, goblins are always ableist, so it's ok to genocide them wokely.

The new Ravenloft is officially pozzed beyond repair. Look at this shit:

>When characters and worlds feature cliches, they become dull and predictable.
>If your favorite horror story features outdated tropes, your fondness doesn't redeem them.

That's why, as a progressive DM, my next Ravenloft campaign is set in a McDonalds in Des Moines, where the players are the 10am-2pm shift and there are no vampires, mummies or zombies. Plenty of opportunities to have a wide range of NPC backgrounds, though, and yes, PC's still have to deal with hordes of angry peasants on occasion.

You know when I sign up for a gothic horror game, I'm really looking forward to not playing a gothic horror game because the gm wants to re-invent the wheel.

Ah, yes. Dark Lord Ronald the Clown, the Cursed Patriarch of House McDonald. A dangerous foe indeed.
