“What makes you think I sit here in silence?“

…

“Im stuck living with people who think anyone that is a shade of brown is less than human and that having an immigration policy is silly when we have guns and ammo. I cant reach these people and help them see that it cant be simplified in to black and white by calling them stupid and being dismissive of their feelings and now their identity has been tied into their "political" team.”

Considering you are still living with them, still describing them as racists, but are too afraid to call them racist…

“ I just use a different tactic to try to win over my neighbors”

And we can see how well that’s working out for you

Silence is complicity. From your own descriptions you are coddling people who would kill anybody who’s not white and you want to come in here, handwringing and taking up all the oxygen in the discussion because your feelings were hurt because you respect Bernie.

I guess someone who’s too afraid to call a racist a racist WOULD look up to Bernie.

I’d like to thank the Academy

Hello! So, I did a quick cursory glance of the hero kids system, but likely missed some things, so please reach out if you have any questions.

The easiest way to convert 5e modules to a 2d6 based system:

The lowest you can roll on 2d6 is a 2, and the highest a twelve. So, we convert 5e’s 1-20 numbers to fit that. (Ability modifier in parentheses)

2d6 stats vs 5e stats

2 (-5) = 0 and 1

3 (-4) = 2 and 3

4 (-3) = 4 and 5

5 (-2) = 6 and 7

6 (-1) = 8 and 9

7 (0) = 10 and 11

8 (+1) = 12 and 13

9 (+2) = 14 and 15

10 (+3) = 16 and 17

11 (+4) = 18 and 19

12 (+5) = 20

Example conversion: In 5e, an orc has an Armor Class of 13, Hit Points of 15, gets + 5 to its attack roll, and deals 9 damage on a hit.

In this 2d6 system, it’s armor would be 8 (need to roll above an 8 to harm it) hit points would be 9, gets +4 to its attack roll, and deals 6 damage on a hit.

Using these conversions, it should be pretty easy to add new monsters or bad guys from DnD 5e modules. There’s a few free ones on dndbeyond to look over that may help give ideas for quests! I highly recommend Frozen Sick.

My apologies! I did not mean to dictate how others should feel about their own lived experience and realize that’s fucked up. I’m leaving it for posterity, and also including the full comment made by OP that I was in part replying to:

Hi! I sort of came back here after seeing this post and a couple comments before it and just wanted to kind of speak to a bit of this.

“Was bi sexual who later became pan sexual after learning about the term”

I do not necessarily understand/agree with the way this is phrased. You didn’t become pansexual by learning about the term, you just discovered a definition that was personally more accurate to your understanding of your sexuality. Which is awesome! Like, I wouldn’t say I became bisexual by learning about the definition, ie I have always been attracted to more than one gender identity.

Shiri Eisner writes a book, “Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution“ that talks a great deal about how we must have intersectionality, especially between Bi and Trans people. It reflects a lot of my disdain for people who claim to be bi but are trans-exclusionists. I recommend this book to a lot of queer friends, especially those who are bi/pan, because we should also have solidarity, celebrating our similarities and differences. Posting a link to an excerpt here: https://radicalbi.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/words-binary-and-biphobia-or-why-bi-is-binary-but-ftm-is-not/

As far as the acronym/etc, I refer to the “third chair” argument near the end of the link posted above. I’m familiar with LGBTQIA+, and I think TPAN is fantastic to use when referring to situations experienced by members of those communities, but not others within the queer community.

I support our trans comrades and I support you as well, my pan friend. ☭

OH NO!!!!!! Won’t somebody think of the designer handbag companies?????? How am I supposed to show I’m not poor if my handbag is 30% cheaper elsewhere????
