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.

In-character, situation-appropriate humour is to be encouraged.

Out of character, suspension-breaking diversions are to be discouraged.

Quote from: Gronan of Simmerya;1032242"Trickster" does not mean " fucking moron.". The trickster god archetype is a very specific mode of teaching, and the way modern fandom has turned it into "fishmalk" pisses me off.

Trickster don't always 'teach'.  Sometimes they just harm.  That said, Fishmalking is always bad.

Oh, yeah.  Coyote and Loki could both be total assholes, for instance.  But they aren't the "do random dumb shit" sort of assholes.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.
