Hey y& #39;all.
A friendly reminder that the term & #39;Golem& #39; refers to a very specific kind of entity from the Jewish faith. If you have a big, humanoid thing in your TTRPG world, the appropriate word to use is & #39;construct& #39;.
Let& #39;s all try and be better about not appropriating.

appropriative or speaking over Jewish voices. The original point I used was gleaned from colleagues of mine who are Jewish in the TTRPG community, so I thought it was safe to pass on. I don& #39;t see myself as the "spearhead" of this discussion, as it had been going on before-->
I got here. I saw it as passing on something that might stop someone from accidentally causing harm. However, given at least some of the responses, that& #39;s what I& #39;ve ended up doing myself.
