No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.

I do understand people who don't vibe with non-human characters as aroace rep, but personally growing up I was always soooo pissed when even machines had to fall in love (which was also treated synonymous with sexual attraction) to prove that they were a Person.

Murderbot: no. we fucking hate each other.

Gurathin, not even looking up from the article he's reading: careful buddy, if you piss me off I might look at you really hard

Murderbot: I have guns in my arms!

and then this kid, this one kid who is always very eager to answer questions and is always kind to his classmates, raised his hand looking a little bothered. now for context, i emphasize thinking for yourself in my classroom, even if that means disagreeing with something i say and he has echoed some stuff that his parents clearly have told him before. he's not a bad kid or an asshole, he's just an 18 year old with conservative parents who otherwise knows nothing about politics. but he just looks so bothered after i explain this about dirty arguing techniques. big frown on his face. looking unsure. when i nod at him to speak, he says, in a very quiet voice, "didn't -- didn't charlie kirk used to do that?"

and i was like. well yes. yes he was famous for stuff like this.

and then the kid looked down and was just like, "oh. i thought he was just really good at debating. i never watched his videos though, only clips. why would he do that?"

If there is a single 2E D&D product that transcend editions, it’s the four-volume Encyclopedia Magica (Vol 1 - 1994, Vol 2-4 - 1995), compiled by Dale “Slade” Henson and illustrated by Arnie Swekel. Over 1500 pages, it collects every magic item created for the game in official sources, including RPGA products, the various TSR magazines and the slightly different Basic game items. All the items include their abilities and the original descriptive text. No attempt has been made to revise, rebalance or otherwise monkey about with them. Some items are ridiculously overpowered and remain so. Some are very stupid or silly. The book makes no judgments.

It’s a titanic work. It’s hard to express the importance of magic items to the game; you could maybe boil the game down to its essence by calling it system of rules that are broken by magic items interacting with monsters. Magic items are the prime mechanical method characters distinguish themselves from each other. The same is true, to perhaps a lesser extent, of the campaign worlds themselves — what magic items are lying around and why implies much about the nature of a given world. These books give you the keys to all of it — the mightiest characters, the lore-iest worlds, the Macguffin-est quests.
