Weren't orcs meant to be similar to the Picts from Robert E Howard, IIRC was in contact with Tolkein, the Picts were based on (I may be wrong about this part) a tribe in the UK?
Good stream. Wizards are the ones pouring politics into the hobby and dividing the community. Not Elon Musk-whatever one's opinion of him may be. Bob World Builder's take is disingenuous and about as cowardly a take I have seen on this.
Is Gygax a sexist? It seems like he said so himself and his daughter agrees but who really cares? Believing that a woman can’t center the line of the Baltimore Ravens gets me labeled as sexist. Did his sexism ruin the game? The other stuff like racism, bigotry, etc ad nauseum is just the same tired playbook. And I reject the premise “oh it was a different time”. If we apply that nonsense all the time then what do we do with the wisdom of Socrates, Aristotle or Plato not to mention The Scriptures?
Great discussion! Thanks guys!
Countdown intro is fire. Well done.
@@PowerWordThrill thank you, I appreciate that!

4 hours? Really?
@@NemoDtwenty it may have been a little shorter than 4… but that’s fair.
We’re going to aim for shorter streams.
@@FamilyTableTop Love The Long Stream!!! Excellent Topic and discussion.
