How is the Community doing? [2024]

I feel like this stack is unwelcoming not because there is constructive criticism (which is always welcome, and I encourage) but because there is often condescending and unnecessarily contemptuous att …

Why was a comment about etymology removed?

Because it’s unnecessary pedantry. It does not suggest any improvement to the answer, and it does not add any value being left there as is. It seems utterly implausible that anyone reading that questi …

Is it time to revisit rule intent questions?

No, it should stay closed. I don't think there is any reason why "Rules as intended" has gotten any less reason to be closed because: People have used Rules as Intended as an excuse to bend logic and …

What is this question actually asking and is it on topic?

As written, it is off topic. Asking the origin of these terms as they relate to D&D is unavoidably a question of designer's intent. We can list all of the objective historical information about breast …

Revisit: Is "5e" a clear enough statement of game system by a question asker to determine th...

Statistically, it's a clear enough statement, but to be fair, we should treat it as though it isn't. It isn't fair that people who ask questions about industry-leading product Dungeons & Dragons Fifth …

What are the guidelines for editing many questions in a short period of time?

My stance towards the topic: Humans have time when they have time. If they want to use that to further the goal of improving questions/answers, then that is desirable. If users only want to see the ne …
