Nerd Rage!

According to some of the posters (and links they offer on the topic) at the RPG Codex, D&D, the rather famous roleplay system, is about to eat a nerf bat. Things that are being kicked out the window are half of the alignments, for one. Based on reasons like, quoting,

Changes made to Forgotten Realms:

-Mystra is killed, everything in the world explodes. Except the Sword Coast. HOW FORTUNATE!

-Tyr kills Helm because of lies Cyric told. I want to state this again. The god of justice, truth, and overall "lawful good" kills the god of unwavering loyalty, honesty, and strict creedence to the law because the god of lies told him to.

-Lathander, the second most worshiped god in all of faerun, the perfect example of Neutral Good, decides to become Amunator. Amunator is a very strict neutral god, who's basic credo seems to be "OBEY, PEASANT." He is also known - or rather, NOT known - for being the completely forgotten god of the sun of some anchient people. He isn't worshiped by anyone. Some sources claim this change occured when Lathander's mind broke while trying to comprehend just what the fuck the writers were doing when they made Tyr kill Helm.

The rest of this can be found here. Read and weep, nerds. Braincutting for better sales is now available in table-top.
