  • The Sword Coast setting is essentially a post-collapse setting where monsters are an existential threat (in theory). There are no longer villages every 5k because only the best and safest lands are worth farming.

    In theory. Though I guess you could argue the Sword Coast is also kind of a metaphor for American colonization? The barbarian tribes certainly have Native American coding going on at times.



  • Generally speaking the propaganda networks are effective because they reliably report fact and then hide the spin or deliberately leave out context they’re aware of.

    For example, they might report this fact, and don’t mention it’s because the CIA has previously hidden agents in vaccination efforts, but it is technically “unbiased” reporting in that they’re stating a fact. The Taliban is suspending vaccinations and didn’t officially state a reason.

    But you can generally trust the literal statement they’re making, and they don’t spend much time editorializing, thus “Least Biased.”
