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.

Quote from: tenbones;1082394The reality is - no one gives a shit about any character being a minority in anything. They don't give a shit about a white character being in anything. What Americans care about is GOOD THINGS. We want it to be good.

My favorite example is Ripley in Alien/s. Wasn't the 1970s/80s supposedly full of sexist troglodytes? Show me the bad press they wrote about having a genuinely "kickass" heroine. There was none. The script was good, the casting and acting was sensational, everybody loved it.
You can shake your fists at the sky. You can do a rain dance. You can ignore the clouds completely. But none of them move the clouds.

Theory of Games

Nothing.

PC imposition on gaming is wrong. We're in fantasy worlds. How PC was the empire in Star Wars
? How PC was SaRyman in LotR?

PC is bs. You can have the most PC character ever, and they fall due to lack of skill. How powerful is PC then?
TTRPGs are just games. Friends are forever.

The one and only Tanya Anor. ;)
Author of the Knights of the Black Lily RPG, a game of sexy black fantasy.
Setting: Ilethra, a fantasy continent ruled over by exclusively spiteful and bored gods who play with mortals for their sport.
System: Faithful fantasy genre simulation. Bell-curved d100 as a core mechanic. Action economy based on interruptability. Cinematic attack sequences in melee. Fortune Points tied to scenario endgame stakes. Challenge-driven Game Design.
The dark gods await.
