I dont feel confident Im a big enough morality troll yet. Maybe if I spent more time at the SA forums.

Quote from: JamesV;760329I hope it was about how that guy needs to check his male, house-free, neuro-unique privilege.

You make me smile.

Quote from: Marleycat;760343Interesting. The only thing I know about him as fact is that he's great at getting people to discuss things regardless of agreement or disagreement with his view or specific topic of the week.

Years ago he showed up on TBP to promote his super-adult rpg about playing a demon in Hell. He was kicked off the site for casting spells on posters who made fun of him ( note this was back when you actually had to do something before getting banned & the mods hadnt yet decided they were the bastions of ethic enforcement for the community). Years later he showed up here for a bit and seemed to have mellowed (and apparently adopted the OSR? Thats new to me, his game was all storygamey back in 04), but still has a bit of the crazy going on and frankly, never came across as that bbright. I find him funny in a kinda pitiful way, not overly obnoxious except for those people really intent on letting him know how WRONG he is.

But yeah, whether the Pundit is an act or not, he generally seems intelligent enough to understand that taking VS seriously in any way just makes him look foolish.

Quote from: P&P;760308Please, let's be fair.  This appears to be about something an identifiable person has actually said, which is a definite step forward from the last few OSR Taliban threads.  We should be encouraging and understanding.

No, we really needn't.

I don't deny anyone the privilege of writing scathing blog posts for any reason, sensible or not, justifiable or not.  I don't deny anyone the privilege of writing rally-to-the-flag blog posts because Someone On The Internet Was Mean To You.  (Although one could reasonably suggest that anyone who can't find Someone On The Internet Who Is Mean To You hasn't logged on from anything more recent than a CRT dumb terminal.)

I also don't deny anyone the privilege of pointing and laughing.

That's being fair.

It did liven up the OSR G+ group for a minute, props on that.

Quote from: jibbajibba;760271Why do you care ?

Why do you want to be associated with a movement when you think a big chunk of them are arseholes?

Is it just so you can shill a few dozen more copies of a game or something or are you looking for some sort of catharsis some sort of recognition that you are responsible for the Old-Schooling of 5e and they should accept you as a prophet of their order or some-such?

Yes.  He demands, no, needs the recognition.

I can't find it. What's their name?

Check your pm's.

This bunch here sure is hard on RPGPundit. Hard on him indeed.

All of you git offa my lawn.

I'm frequently in awe of your sense of humor.

Quote from: Scott Anderson;760395This bunch here sure is hard on RPGPundit.

The Pundit's greatest gaming accomplishment is creating a forum in which you can call him a whiny cunt right to his avatar.

Quote from: Old Geezer;760405All of you git offa my lawn.

Fuck you old bastard.

Quote from: Marleycat;760410Fuck you old bastard.

Butter your asshole and grab your ankles, party girl, here it comes.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;760288Pundit does certainly seem to be taking this emotional investment of what OSR Taliban thinks of his opinion to extreme levels.  This is what, the third blog post on the subject?

This blog post was excellent; I laughed all along while reading it.

Now, just to entice some people to click on the link in my sig, I will remind you all that I wrote too a supposedly OSR game. I called it OSR compatible so people (hopefully) immediately understand that it is another D&D iteration. But then, I don't care in the least if I am old-school or what not. It's just funny to read discussion about this, and Pundit knows how to tell things in a comical way, when the Venger guy just seems to be a pathetic person without girlfriend and a petty job. Or maybe just a guy that does it for fun. (I can't believe that someone would believe that Cthulhu is real, and who would "curse" a website... :rolleyes: :duh: )

Sadly, he's married and has a kid or kids.
