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.

Didn't Carsten Damm leave Redbrick not long ago?  Sounds like someone at Redbrick doesn't play well with others.

This is what I'm waiting to hear confirmed because this is like dealing with Palladium or something. It's just really bad.

Ghost Whistler

Quote from: CRKrueger;537787From what I understand people were using the forums to talk about an OGL Kickstarter for Angus' serial-number-filed-off manuscript.

If I were Andrew, I'd be more then a little upset at this point.

closing the forums seems to be a massive overreaction on the face of it. What the fuck is going on here?
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

Maybe firing the dude was the first overreaction, and now we're just witnessing the follow-up in plain sight?

Maybe James Sutton is pulling a Catalyst Labs and fleeing with the money.  :D
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

I thought his wife and child died in a car wreck though?

Wife diddling could have been the culprit ala Word According to Garp.

Seriously?

If so, you've made me feel bad.

If it's a joke, i'm gonna make you feel bad.

Great movie!  Robin Williams was excellent in that film.

Be prepared for feeling bad. I know his child died I'm just not sure if his wife did also. It's is the reason RedBrick went AWoL for about a year or so.

Be prepared for feeling bad. I know his child died. It's is the reason RedBrick went AWoL for about a year or so. I am reasonably certain his wife did also. I just wondered if anybody could confirm it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Yes, his wife died also in the same tragic incident.

James has subsequently moved to the US and remarried. We do however seem to have moved away from the topic of this thread.

As is the wont of RPGsite, but yeah. I think Ben may be right and we are just seeing some of the fallout in public.
