"Under communism, you do the job you're assigned or you're killed or jailed. Under capitalism, you're free to work wherever you want."

Even if that's how you define freedom, it's still false.

Under capitalism, if you quit your job and become homeless, the police terrorize you, destroy your belongings, and invent reasons to arrest you like "loitering".

Under capitalism, if you quit your job and form a competing business, the government shuts it down for patent infringement.

Under capitalism, if you quit your job and become a prostitute or drug dealer, you go to jail because those professions are made illegal.

Under capitalism, laws are passed to fill prisons and use prisoners as a source of cheap labor.

Under capitalism, before 1865, it was literally legal to own another person.

Capitalism doesn't mean less government. It means corporations own the government. They just tell you that you're free so anytime someone fights back against them, they can point their fingers at the people fighting back and say "these people want to take your freedom".

Communism also doesn't mean being required to work an assigned job and being jailed or killed if you refuse. It's possible to have a society where the workers own the means of production and where the workers are still free to leave. It's also possible to have a society where people can own the home they live in but can't own multiple homes for profit.

All of the things people criticize Communism as doing, Capitalism's already doing it

0 cis women have been harmed by gender neutral language around pregnancy

These tags have passed peer review.

Image id: a tag by e-the-village-cryptid. It says:

#terfs are like 'saying 'pregnant people' harms women because it diminishes the role women play in reproduction!' #as if everyone doesn't know that the majority of pregnant people are cis women #no cis woman has ever been turned away from pregnancy-related healthcare because 'sorry you're a pregnant WOMAN #'and this here says pregnant PEOPLE and everyone knows women aren't people' #however trans and nonbinary pregnant people have been turned away because 'this clinic is for WOMEN' #gender neutral language helps trans and nonbinary people and is completely irrelevant to cis women

End of image id

also like…referring to pregnant people as a group as “pregnant people” as an umbrella term doesn’t stop pregnant women from identifying themselves as women? if you’re a woman and pregnant, no one is coming to your house to tell you to stop calling yourself a pregnant woman. it’s literally just acknowledging that pregnant people who are not women also exist & should also be respected & have access to the care & support they need.

"aborted fetuses are not technically lives and it's harmful and not medically accurate to refer to them that way" and "people who have early miscarriages of wanted pregnancies are still allowed to grieve and consider them their child" are two statements that can and should coexist

"people who made the difficult decision to have an abortion because it's right for them and their situation are still allowed to grieve how things could have been if their circumstances had been different" is another statement that should be added

Chainwhirler Goblin Small humanoid (goblinoid), chaotic evil Armor Class 15 (chain shirt) Hit Points 66 (12d6 + 24) Speed 30 ft. Str 13, Dex 18, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 7, Cha 11 Senses darkvision 60 ft. passive Perception 8 Languages Common, Goblin Challenge 3 (700 XP) Nimble Escape. The goblin can take the Disengage or Hide actions as a bonus action on each of its turns. Actions Multiattack. The goblin makes two spiked chain attacks. Spiked Chain. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8+4) slashing damage. Whirling Lash (Recharge 6). Each creature within 15 feet of the goblin must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or take 13 (2d8+4) slashing damage. If a Large or smaller creature fails its Dexterity saving throw, that creature is knocked prone. Reactions Ceaseless Whirling. Whenever a creature moves within 10 feet of the goblin, the goblin can use its reaction to make a melee weapon attack with disadvantage against that creature.

These spiked-chain-wielding goblins make quite a splash on the battlefield… a splash of blood, that is. Their endless momentum makes them a deadly tempest useful to goblinoid armies as shock troops. They can also be found as bodyguards to wizards, barghests, and others who prefer goblinoid minions and need one capable of dominating in hand-to-hand combat.

Occasionally I take a break from converting 3rd edition monsters to make a Magic card into a monster. Hope you enjoy! If there is a monster from 3.5 or Pathfinder that you want to see converted to 5e, feel free to send me a message or submit a monster request on the submit page.

HALF-RACES

Homebrew for all the half-human combinations possible with the races found in the player’s handbook! I had a lot of fun making these, though they took a while. Have fun playing!

This was made for D&D 5e and feedback is much appreciated!

ELVEN HALF-RACES

Homebrew for all of the elven half-races possible with races from the PHB! Time to throw the boring old human half-elf out of the window! This was made for 5e. Open images in new tab for better quality. Have fun playing, and feedback is much appreciated!

If you like what I do, consider buying me a coffee! Also consider checking out my previous half-races (including tiefling and dragonborn versions!).

Time for a trip to the magic pet store: Here is a preview of what will be

Clockwork Dragon’s Guide to Arcane Familiars

Familiars have always been an exciting prospect for me, but 5e’s handling of them is… well, lackluster at best. To that end, I took it upon myself to retool the familiar system and provide a suitable myriad of options for people seeking to keep and train a tiny magical companion.This supplement is still in progress, and likely needs quite a bit of play testing. The final release will have a total of 100 familiars, but quite honestly, I am burnt out on familiars, and want to work on another project for while, so for now please enjoy 13 new Feats, and the first 50 familiars in this extended preview.

 As a major notice on this bit of brew: the guide to familiars is still a work in progress, and I’m still in the process not only of adding new familiars, but also sourcing all of the artwork. I don’t do any of my own art, and I always try to credit that artwork back to the original creator. The final published release of this document will contain citations and sourcing for all artwork, but as ths is only meant to be a WIP preview so you all know what I have been working on, much of that is still missing, and will be updated as I work through it.

Preview images above are low resolution, and does not contain all 50 familiars. For the latest high-resolution PDF, as well as a whole host of other work I have done, check out this handy dropbox link. And be sure to tell me what you think!

If you like what I do and want to support me or just generally help out, Check out my Patreon page, or throw some coin at me through Paypal.me. If you wanna just come say hi on my Discord, that’s great too!
