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: Ryan L.;413329You see the exact same thing in local music scenes when a band "makes it." Man their old stuff is better than their new stuff. They've sold out etc. Ron and Baker had one solid (by Forge standards) hit each. Then both went off the deepend and started performing self-fellatio. Until recently they had a few cultists hanging about to give them head when their necks and backs were sore.

That's just Baker playing Apocalype World-LARP.
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

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

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

Well, that is the time in Pendragon when, if you're lucky, you might cop a feel of your girlfriend's boobies. So given his and Vinny's proclivities, i think it's pretty apt. :rotfl:

I've never been to the forsge after seeing some people here leave a link to an article on it comparing RPGers to rape victims.

That said frankly I don't really care about pundit's squabble with their ron edwards guy, whom I know nothing about whatsoever and have never bought a game product with his name on it, and wish this sort of pissing was confined to pundit's forum.

Now fights with rpg.net are OK with me, as I do know about and hate that cesspool of arrogant scum, but the forge really hold no interest for me. It could disappear tomorrow or go on forever, wither way wouldn't matter to me.

I wouldn't mind seeing rpg.net slammed more around here though, as there's a site I'd like to see hacked to oblivion.
Go an\' tell me I\'m ignored.

Now the war is over should we begin to think about a series of military tribunals?

Oh, we won't get an answer to that most important question will we?
