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.

A Storygame that Offends Purple

Quote from: Ian.Plumb;647258You can compare the page wraps here:

To me they're not similar in style or content. But YMMV.

I can't see it too clearly (it's blurry), but the page wrap for your game looks pretty cool. I like it, and it seems more visually appealing than the page wrap for Mongoose Conan. The bitching and trolling on the rpgnet thread was insane. If it had continued much longer, it might have drifted into boycott territory. I wish that I'd discovered this Kickstarter earlier, because it looks interesting. Oh, well... :o

Quote from: Sacrosanct;646709Holy hell, that describes Sage Genesis to a "T".  Any time someone disagrees with him, he pulls out the "I really like this site and community, and your posting style really doesn't gel well and I think you'd get along a lot better with everyone at this great site if you changed how you posted."

But since he's on the same side as Kai, he never gets warned for it.
..and he, and all other that try playing that game, end up on my ignore list to shout their offence trolling into the uncaring void...
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? You? Jibba?

Well congrats. No one else gives a shit, so your arguments are a waste of breath.

Quote from: Rincewind1;646564This thread has truly disgusted me. The man has bent backwards, and for what? A vague promise of a few dollars? To sell one's vision for golden bars, I can understand, but for a mess of pottage? Then again, it may be one big switcheroo (seeing as he artfully dodged, in the end, the boo boo about page corners or w/e), to sucker - punch the SJW crowd out of their 5$, in which - well, I prefer when lowly demagoguery is done for golden bars, but I'll also understand if it's done for a pint.

It's not the first time this stuff has happened over there...

I remember a thread about an AD&D2e retroclone where the clone creators had managed to get one of the big 2e illustrators (not Elmore) to make the cover, of a hot wizardess summoning an imp, and there was this huge ragegasm and the creator seemed to buck to the demands and not use the (great) illustration...man that made me mad...:(

Ghost Whistler

Since when was riddle of steel a 'storygame'?
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

Since it became a Forge fave, I guess (Edwards loves it).

Yeah, I was baffled as well. I think this is another case of 'guilt by association' on the Pundit's part.

I think you'll find the thread was posted to this forum. The clue is in the thread title, i think, should you wish to see it.

Yes, the thread was posted by CRKruger from the start here.

And on a funny note - remember how I said that I posted my words here on RPG.net and removed them? Well, turns out I was sniped out none the less (and by our pet favourite of the hour, too!), despite the post disappearing in next five minutes.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

What, exactly, were you expecting?

And you got, horror of horrors, a thread ban. Oh noes.

I don't  care. I was just laughing because the post existed for about 3 - 5 minutes, and it got on the radar already. I've seen banks less monitored.

Fair enough, and I think someone mentioned the new version now includes things like "scene editing" so...meh. I think I was just expressing anoyance over the whole car wars sillyness.

Oh, to not be in so prudish a time and place as to think a picture of a topless demon woman is "misogyny". What must these people think of the great art of past epochs; I shudder to think of how they perceive the breast of the Madonna.

It's situations like this that make me wish I had been born in the Victorian era. At least people then were ribald in their perversions and had the good sense to keep their preferences to the private sphere of life. And they were capable of apprehending the beauty of a naked body without a hue and cry of personal oppression.

Bravo, sir.

Indeed. Well put.
