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.

In case anyone is wondering, the adventure is August Kisses for Tiny Cthulhu and was written by John Wick.

If I learned one thing from 7th Sea 2nd edition it is that John Wick is a terrible writer.

I read his "Play Dirty." I didn't notice bad writing. What I learned is John Wick is a self-important dick who I don't want GMing any game I'm in. The kindest interpretation I could put on what he wrote was that he was intentionally trolling to generate outrage interest in his column. Hopefully he's grown up some since then.

Yeah, that's always going to leave you open to your questions having already been answered when you finally post.

The full text from that module isn't actually as bad as the OP makes it look.

QuoteWho is August?
She looks like Theda Barda. If you don't know who that is, do a Google search. Dark hair, dark eyes, pale skin. Her hair tumbles over her shoulders like storm clouds. She has the kind of beauty that is truly striking. That is, you look into her eyes and you lose any and all eloquence and grace. Anything you can think to say or do seems wrong. She's that kind of woman.

But she doesn't need to be. In fact, she could be a blonde bombshell. Or she may not even be a woman. I'm using August because she fits the cliche. She screams vampire. You can make August any way you want. Think about your players. Think about someone that's on their "list." You know, the list of people their significant others would give the okay to if they had the chance. You know your players. As far as I know, she could be a cute, geeky red head. Tailor August to their desires.

Honestly, this reads more like a blog post, than an rpg module.

I'm more bothered by the fact that you're told to Google someone to see what they look like, then told it doesn't even matter, you can make her/him/it look like whatever you want? Wtf...
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.
