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: Rincewind1;499204And the question is, that if we remove this style of play, do we still have Poison'd as an interesting product?

If by style of play you mean describing things in lurid/gory detail, then yes from what I have read, it would be an interesting game. Not something I would be interested in for various reasons.

I did, because I I found the topic/premise interesting, and I do like storytelling games/ story RPGs (pick a name that'll not raise your blood).

In my opinion, it is a "mediocre+" product, or "decent" I guess - it's much better written then Carcosa, but there's not that much to it after you take out the "naughty" bits, especially from narration style, just enough to get a decent but bland storygame about pirates.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

While I think narrative style (I'm assuming examples of play) may be inspirational, a game's system and setting alone should be evocative enough (again personal preference) for me to consider running it. I'm reminded of what Ian Absentia (who does not post here anymore) said about Unknown Armies , that what irritated him was the way how gamers tried to outdo each other in the weirdness/creepout department of the game. The system itself open to all sorts of interpretation.

Indeed, that brutality outbidding may turn the game into something that's more along the lines of parody then serious tale about darker sides of piracy in XVIII. I guess I'll run it and see.

Quote from: The Good Assyrian;498879Thank you so much for your impassioned defense of child rape, Justin.

Well, it's official: You're an illiterate scumbag.

Although, in terms of being a complete concession in which you implicitly admit that you're completely unable to back up any of the bullshit you were previously spouting, that post was a brilliant mix of hostility and ad hominem. Congratulations on that "accomplishment".

Have a nice day.
