This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Valatar on March 14, 2025, 11:36:29 PMThe trick to Mythos stuff is that it's typically extremely time-sensitive.  If you've found out that fish people are planning on calling Dagon forth from the sea to feast upon the land-dwellers, you can't really take a weekend off to explore your character's backstory, regardless of whatever it may be, which is why going and dangling obvious bait in the setting book is just encouraging That Guy to derail the campaign with his tri-gender otherkin's adventures in making it all about current-day sexual politics in Victorian London.

In published CoC adventures, there's usually a time-sensitive climax -- but the bulk of the adventure usually takes many days or weeks of travel and research and investigation, especially with 1890s travel times that can take ages on boat. Plus many GMs have down time between adventures, since the PCs are things like librarians and reporters who have homes and jobs, rather than being vagabonds.

Again, I've had two CoC characters get engaged and married during campaign - the first in my college game in the late 1980s and the other in the 2000s, and I've seen many shorter romances.

Gully Dwarves


What was the complaint about Gully Dwarves?
IIRC weren't Gully Dwarves basically scum of the earth dwarves, and the other dwarves looked down on them as subhuman filth? Probably some veiled "they represent minorities" crap.

They were effectively mentally handicapped.

Of course the prior wave of Social Justice busybodies had to complain.

I had to look them up as I was only vaguely familiar with them from reading my old 2e books back in the day.  Oh my...   I can't wait to see which real world ethnic group the purple haired weirdos attribute to the garbage eating smelly shanty town living grovelling half breed mix of gnomes and dwarves in an effort to supposedly combat actual discrimination.

GURPS/Steve Jackson games should definitely drop to red and Soul Muppet games, especially with their latest Kickstarter against capitalism here really goes off the deep end, and is ironic that you are trying to get capital to fight capitalism.

A £75 pledge to fund Kickstarter and their sad RPG company via their anti-capitalism game? If they gave it away for free, I could at least accept that they're not grifters.
