[CW; slurs, genocide] Gary Gygax quoting this guy as being Lawful Good really should end all alignment arguments permanentlypic.twitter.com/juso6tHLPK
The traditional reading on this has been that he meant "lawful good" to be "worse" than, say, neutral good but you have to remember his context as a deeply conservative right-wing christian member of the American Libertarian Party, you can't forget that context, so
D&D really benefits from death of the author, it seems. My lord.
The best part is that when they decided to simplify for 4th edition, they got rid of lawful anything but good, and chaotic anything but evil. I was like “oh boy that’s authoritarian”
It kinda makes sense that the system is the way it is now...
It's like GaGy didn't actually understand "Good" and the Paladin is an incoherent class.
The Paladin's big issue in pre-5e editions of DND is mostly that it was a bad class mechanically(A MAD class that could easily become downgraded to Fighter no bonus feats) so most players tend to avoid it except the kind of people looking for an excuse to be a dick.
What is Lawful, what is Chaotic, what is Good, and what is Evil all change from society to society. Lawful Good does not mean Lawful Nice. Morality is not objective and disgusting acts to us might be considered "righteous" in another culture. I don't support what Gygax quoted.
"Alignment" has always been a shitty and unnecessary rule system and it's tiresome that D&D's magic system is basically married to it. You literally can't throw one without the other. oth, the whole Vancian magic system is trash anyway, so out both of them go.
vancian magic makes me wanna cry. it's just so tedious and bad, and the biggest reason that i never play magic classes in TTRPGs that use it.
