This is a thread like no other in the D&D, much demanded though little heralded...until now.Ladies and Gentleman, in keeping with the Citizens vote and the general positive reactions to such an idea, I bid you welcome to the Discussion and Debate community thread. This unusually for the D&D is basically a more 'relaxed' area where we can sit back, and muse on lighter, or more specific political subjects (Perhaps ones which may not in themselves warrant the effort of creating a whole new thread and researched OP) and our own views in general with each other. Much like an office party, we'll be able to awkwardly get to know one another a bit better, spar a little and talk openly about any and all D&D...ish issues that take our fancy (Sounds like Heaven right?).
Why is this in the Mudpit? I hear you ask (Probably not...but your getting the answer anyway), simply because this is where everyone seems to hang out. We hope this thread may become a 'hub' for the wider Discussion and Debate area, to give us somewhere where the debating community can get together and shoot the breeze exploring politics, history, philosophy, ethics and the like without being limited to a typical threads specific OP.
Of course if any talk in here perhaps develops into something you might wish to make a thread about, or indeed you get any ideas about something that sparks your interest which you'd wish to explore specifically. Feel free to do so.
Now while I know none of us would ever dream of breaking any rules, The serious part must be stated. While the topicality of the discussion is going to be very flexible, the moderation of this thread will be the same as always in the ways you know and love. Disagreements and arguments are as always welcomed (Popcorn at the ready!), but throwing out derogatory remarks is not.
With that, lets see how this kicks off.
