SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Well, SomethingAwful is occasionally good for something

Quote from: Planet Algol;617433Jesus fucking christ, have you ever read anything else on that fucking website?

"HUMOUR WEBSITE POSTS INACCURATE REVIEW"

Fucking halfhead.
So which is it then?  A shocking exposé of a disturbing game, or an exaggerated parody?

I find it consistent with every other "actual play" episode of WTF D&D, such as the Conan AD&D adventures and Call of Cthulhu adventures, but with a shocking reveal at the end.
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? You? Jibba?

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

What I mean is, much as I hate to admit it, Grim has a point.

This whole thread has been based on an assumption that the review was accurate, and loudly trumpted as final proof of the game's absolute pantswetting lawncrapper status.

Now someone points out the details might be suspect, and suddenly it's just parody?  

You can't really hold to both and maintain any kind of credibility or consistency.

Quote from: Halloween Jack;615173I compared some idiot's "Gaming Manifesto" to Mein Kampf, and you took this to mean that I (a) like Mein Kampf (b) was addressing Pundit and not the OP and (c) because Pundit is apparently a Jew I was attacking Jews, none of which make sense, because you are really really really really really really pathetically reaching for something to cry at me about because you're a bigger idiot than whoever posted that thread.

So by your logic if I posted "The Traveller is a rapist" that means I'm a rapist and I love rape and I want to rape TheRPGPundit. Which is silly because I don't fuck smokers.

Tsk, tsk.  Rape isn't about sex, it's about power.

An exaggerated parody of a shockingly disturbing game?:D

Definitely not.

Like I've said, I don't see the depiction of Maid on SA any different that their COC or AD&D Conan accounts of play, until the end.

Hell, if I was forced to play Maid with my friends, it would probably be a lot like the SA article.
