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.

If I had a dollar for every loudmouth in a bar who threatened grievous bodily harm or death, before, during or after a fight, I'd have as much money as the guy who wrote Zweihander.

I wouldn't consider Daniel Fox to be wealthy.
It says a lot that he considers Fox to be wealthy, doesn't it?

I thought it was a slap down on Zweiguy in a look at his tens of dollars kind of way

Nah, he's trying to show off his tough guy cred. 'Look, I've been threatened so many times! You guys are just wussy for taking threats seriously!'.

I think I'll steal a page from a friend of mine: if you're gonna bang on about how 'everyone gets a beating', I think you need to present your bona fides and show us you can take one. Preferably three or four on one. Just so you can impress us.

Who knows if dude has "fuck off" money or not?  But given that he had a successful marketing career prior to his successful game industry career, I'm guessing he's not living the life of an unmarried, childless, middle-aged man in a tiny South American hovel that smells like cat litter and stale smoke. But, hey, go off.

Three bedrooms (one converted to a home office), living room, solarium, fireplace, rooftop patio with built-in grill. My cleaning lady keeps the smell reasonably fresh.

" I'm guessing he's not living the life of an unmarried, childless, middle-aged man in a tiny South American hovel that smells like cat litter and stale smoke. But, hey, go off."

So unmarried childless people who don't die before they hit late 40s are bad and unworthy of tubesock's hard won "starfucker" respect? South America is where the shameful and insignificant are forced to retreat to? Cat shit and smoke are the marks of the pitiful?

Who knew? What a worthwhile contribution. If you want respect you need to rip off the corporate descendants of the people who ripped off D&D, Michael Moorcock, and the Northern Renaissance about 35 years later. Of course!

I'm glad to have the compass rose of life's map laid out so succinctly in a thread about people bothered that DCC of all companies is putting on the wettest, most apparatchik bridled safe-space con ever and trendily stink-eyeing a good chunk of their loyal customers as their big seasonal move in the online social clout markets.

I went there when it was on Mills and Colonial, before they moved to by the Navel Training Center. It's where I purchased pretty much all of my RPG stuff back in the long, long, ago.

I remember getting my copy of Game Design Vol. 1: Theory and Practice by SJG there way back when I was a teenager.  I also used to go to the location by the navy base every time my unit went there for training which was pretty often.  Ahh... the memories of a time when it was fun to go to the game store instead of now when it is all bland and disappointing.  I can't even remember the last time I actually bought something at one.

I remember going there after NTC boot camp and through A school and NNPS. Gaming helped me stay sane during that time.

This.  I was always somewhere between Suggested 15 and Suggested 20 study hours at NNPS, which still left plenty of time to game.  To a guy without a car, Enterprise 1701 was a close enough walk. One I got my car, though, I spent much more time far far away from the barracks, so my gaming went down.

I was at Mandatory 35 and 40 study hours. I still had enough time to go to concerts at Visage on OBT, play 2000 point All Factions Star Fleet Battles games, and some Classic Traveller/d6 Star Wars/Mekton II/Cyberpunk on occassion.

 Who would have thought this is a NNPS reunion?  I take it you were all Nucs?  Small world.   Edited to add...This is sad I do not remember 100 percent, but pretty sure I was class 9106.

That's where I am at. I don't know if changing pronouns will bring more women into DCC, but it seems innocuous. That said, it does have the potential to be a step onto the slippery slope.

Any woman, or guy for that matter, that will only play a game if it uses politically correct pronouns isn't a person you would want to join your game or hobby in the first place.

Imagine if I said I would only buy/play games with white guys on the cover and that represented me? I would be called all kinds of ists and ism. inclusivity is exclusionary.

I don't agree with Tubesock Army, but this is exactly the kind of dogpiling and abuse that's the first step toward creating an echo chamber. True freedom of speech doesn't require respect, but it does require some degree of tolerance and not burying them under a mound of verbal fecalism.

Pretty much. My tolerance for rampant idiocy like what Tubesnake flings around is zero. Hence why he's blocked.
