Huh, Traveller 5 sex

Well first there's the UPP extension Gender, Gender Preference, Body  expressed as XXX.*  Then there's the [C3] (Endurance) based Sex skill with its various knowledges, oral, vaginal, oral, and spawning.  There is a a chart that cross references strategies and preferences to give a task target number on 2d6 that doesn't work with the task system in general.  A three page statistical justification of that design decision.  A variety of illustrations that look like they were drawn with a plastic template and a sharpie.  And of course, ties to the genetics and sophont creation rules as well as two pages on the ethics of sex with alien animal encounters.

I love T5!

Just to be clear there are also alien alternatives spelling out SEX.  Species and Euphoria.  Body remains the same because everybody knows a sexy body when they see one.

I can't tell if you're pulling my leg or if that is an actual thing.

Just the thing for when I want to get my "Captain Kirk" on.

He's not entirely kidding. T5 had loads and loads of poorly defined mechanics of limited use to anyone.

Which version of T5 are we talking about?

1st Kickstarter with it's ~650 page book that was unusable?
1st round of errata labled 5.09 that added 100 pages?
2nd Kickstarter splitting it in to 3 books and last I saw with a massive collection of errata in the works on the CotI forums?

Well, it's like all T5

5.0 had the sex tables without much commentary or explanation.  Just roll 7- on 2d6 to determine orgasm type stuff.  There was also a missing alien sex organ table that was essential if you wanted to use the sex rules with the sophont creation rules.

5.09 had a re-write that took up more space, took a committee over a year to write and worked worse than the original without even replacing the erroneous table that make it easier for egg laying species to impregnate mammals.

5.1 cost $70 for shipping so I never got it but the sex rules look cleaned up but it's still easier for a chicken to get your wife pregnant because while they altered the table they never fixed the fucking problem!

This problem may be a feature if they wanted to follow the script of the film Carnosaur.

I won a stupid movie night competition with that one back in the day. The fight with the carnosaur vs the bobcat at the end was pure awesome (of the awesomely terrible sort).

So, someone points out that RPG.net doesn't really tolerate differences of opinion, gets a 180 day ban for bigotry.

How the mods are able to breathe with their heads rammed so far up their ass I'll never know.
Absolute fucktards.

Instructive-

QuoteThere can be no middle ground with bigots. Bigots want to deny the rights and livelihood of people different from them. They want them to cease existing, either by going underground or by murdering them. There is no "let's meet in the middle" with that. To suggest there can be is ignorance, plain and simple.

What does or does not belong on a pizza is a difference of opinion. Whether or not trans people should exist is a fundamental human right, and is one our forums has decided upon for years. Whether or not PoC are alienated by societal issues headed by white supremacist actions is not a difference of opinion, it is fact.

I have not logged into rpg.net in years, and don't plan to for the forseeable future, so I'm not priviy to the details of the moderated post in question.
But I would not be surprised to find that the "Whether or not trans people should exist" is someone asserting that biological sex is a reality. Or that biological sex is a factor in gender identity.

And that's how they get you. By defining an opinion as "hate speech".

The lack of self-awareness in this statement as they ban people different from them almost beggers comprehension.

That lack of 'self-awareness' is how they can delusionally convince themselves that their actions are ok...its the same old 'for your own good'/'greater good' that people have convinced themselves over since forever.

Their lack of self-awareness is also how they avoid having their heads explode.  I've known people with serious mental illnesses that showed more self-awareness.

Yep.

I have a friend who works with the mentally ill and they say the same thing.  I've interacted with a number of their clients and the impression I get is that the people who know they are mentally ill, understand they have a problem and actively try to cope with or work on it.

I compare it to alcoholics/drug addicts who know they have a problem and try to work on it versus those who 'don't have a problem'...I think that is why SJWs explode when someone tries to point out the problems.  You are attacking a lynch-pin of their perceived reality.
