Same here!I like the way they work too

But Barbarians of Lemuria does that so much better than any edition of D&DMy favorite mode of D&D play...of any edition...including 5E (when I still played it)...emulates my favorite Conan stories.
PCs break into rich asshole's domicile, for whatever reason. PCs encounter and deal with the invariably weird shit in rich asshole's domicile (c.f. rich people be crazy, yo). PCs confront rich asshole and deliver a well deserved comeuppance. PCs abscond with whatever treasure and/or mulligan rich asshole's weird shit was guarding. PCs go to the local tavern to engage in post mission debauchery and telling tall tales of their exploits.
In my experience, I can reliably get that kind of play out of any edition of D&D I've played. (Note, I've not played much D&D4e, so take that with a grain of salt, I guess).
I think anything that proves your identity should require a “wet” signature but anything else, not really.
No one can duplicate my latin writing wet drunk duck using Klingon characters signature!Require a "wet" signature with handwriting loops that reach the correct penmanship lines, you mean?
YOU CAN NOT HAVE A MEANINGFUL SIGNATURE IF STRICT HANDWRITING LOOPS ARE NOT KEPT. (See, I'm topical. )
Remember, goose loves you. It just hurts sometimes.
That's right, no one! New and improved Klingon cursive signature.No one can duplicate my latin writing wet drunk duck using Klingon characters signature!
I can write in cursive much faster than block print (all those damned Blue Book essays), but its legibility is declining through non-use.In my early teens I developed my own personal font, and willingly took grade reductions on papers because I refused to write them in cursive or anything but this font (I was a very, shall we say "aesthetically stubborn" child). I still write in that font to this day.
I can write in cursive, but I won't (unless I'm like, preparing props for a game, like pages from some character's diary).
One benefit of cursive is it turns words into a unit instead of individual letters and can help people with dyslexia spell correctly.
I wasn't stubborn about it like you but I also developed my own distinctive handwriting font when I was in middle school. I would write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" over and over each day during slow periods in class until I had perfected the technique.In my early teens I developed my own personal font, and willingly took grade reductions on papers because I refused to write them in cursive or anything but this font (I was a very, shall we say "aesthetically stubborn" child).

Same.I constantly get compliments from others on my handwriting, now. That always makes my day.
Dunno but I wondered the same thing about Chinese. My kids don't have dyslexia. Some have dysgraphia and other written expression issues.huh, do dyslexics likewise have less of an issue learning to read Japanese?

Someone with much more knowledge of language might be better able to answer this but I've noticed a number of early languages don't contain vowels and interpret the sounds and missing information on the fly by understanding the sentence. My son with reading and writing challenges does the same thing with words he doesn't already know how to spell. He sees the letters for the most part in the written word and pulls a likely word candidate from his internal list of words when reading aloud.Dunno but I wondered the same thing about Chinese.

IIRC, they do contain the info on vowels, but it's added to another letter instead of being a letter itself?Someone with much more knowledge of language might be better able to answer this but I've noticed a number of early languages don't contain vowels and interpret the sounds and missing information on the fly by understanding the sentence.

Dyslexia in one writing system but not another sounds obnoxious as fuck.Does dyslexia exist in writing systems like Japanese and Chinese?
It's a common learning difficulty that can cause issues with reading, writing and spelling. But what about in different writing systems?www.sciencefocus.com
Why "obnoxious"? Also, what was said is that some people have dyslexia in one language, but not in another.Dyslexia in one writing system but not another sounds obnoxious as fuck.
Because it’d be a tremendous bitch to diagnose.Why "obnoxious"? Also, what was said is that some people have dyslexia in one language, but not in another.

I’d say it’s a better window into how the human mind works.Dyslexia in one writing system but not another sounds obnoxious as fuck.
I mean, interesting scientifically, sure. But imagine trying to figure out what’s going on. You start trying to learn a new language but you can’t get the writing. Who the hell is gonna think of dyslexia if you’ve never had any problems with your native language?I’d say it’s a better window into how the human mind works.
The key takeaway from the article for me is that the MRI studies showed that different written language types use different parts of the brain to process the symbols into something understandable.
That in turn gets us closer to understanding how, in a biochemical sense, dyslexia affects the brain and potentially even a treatment for it.
That’s fascinating to me.
There's a thing called "stealth dyslexia" for very bright kids who memorize all the words and roughly the letters and understand context but can't break them down into individual sounds from the letters.I mean, interesting scientifically, sure.

Can we please rename this thread 'The Seinfeld Thread'. Its just a thread about nothing.
I thought this thread was about thread drift.
At some point it will drift back when there's something to talk about.Yeah, it doesn't seem to have anything remotely to do with One D&D anymore.
Probably when WotC do something unbeliveably stupid again. So give it a day or two?At some point it will drift back when there's something to talk about.
Almost at 100 pages.... C'mon WotC!Probably when WotC do something unbeliveably stupid again. So give it a day or two?
I'm now imagining a world where all Orks are dyslexic in Orkish, but can spell in Elven and Human just fine. Problem is, after failing to learn their own language, they seldom even try learning to read an "enemy language"...
With the holidays closing in, I worry that we might have to wait until January. Anybody got a tangent?Almost at 100 pages.... C'mon WotC!
