Yeah, it's either that or "I finally met a woman I couldn't objectify and had to confront the reality that they're actually people". Or some awful combination of the two.

I don't remember who it was, but I read about one of these guys basically saying "I have a daughter now so I've decided to start respecting women", which is a worrying thing for a man with a wife to say but also pretty much sums up your point.

This encounter table has more personality than some entire games. Absolute masterpiece.

But he always said he was happy with his work!

Yeah, I can see that being a problem. Also, excellent dog, thanks for sharing 👍

I used to get a lot of this when I still ran games in person. Best solution I found was to just wait silently for people to realise I wasn't narrating anymore. It's a tricky thing to deal with, but in my experience there's generally no malice behind it. Petting dogs is a good reason though.

These fans would hate the Original Trilogy if it came out today. "We were clearly told that Vader KILLED Anakin! This breaks canon!"

I really hate the idea of canon being something that can't ever be changed or reexamined. Stories have to evolve, and sometimes that means writing over or around something that happened before. It's fine. But fandoms tend to be so anchored in the past that they take it as an insult to the material.

Absolutely right, and it should (and does, in Pathfinder) exist alongside more conventional wheelchairs, not instead of. More options is always good.

I noticed a lot of "we wouldn't mind if you made them more magical" this time around, and it's the most obvious bait I've ever seen. Because if the wheelchair is magical, if it levitates or uses animated spider legs or whatever, then every monster suddenly has Dispel. These pricks aren't subtle.
