I have had a player that has totally burned me out on daywalker trenchcoat wearing ninja biker psionic something or others. And Gambit.

Quote from: NathanIW;875048What always struck me as really stupid about not allowing people to play characters of genders different than their own is that GMs do it all the time.  Does that make them mentally ill?  So ridiculous.

Maybe his settings don't have female NPCs in them...? :idunno:

What is appropriate for an NPC is fundamentally a different question than what is appropriate for a PC.  For example, a passivist PC would make a terrible fit for any of the games that I run (heavy on the action/adventure), but there are certainly passivist NPCs in my game world.

Note that I certainly have no issue with a player having a different gender than their PC (which is a nonissue from where I sit).

Has this place become RPGNet Lite?

It doesn't take being a SJW to tell somebody "what you do in a stupid elfgame has no bearing on your real self, unless you choose something that actually corresponds to the real self".

In fact, what it takes for someone to do so is not being SJW. Since it's mostly the SJWs at RPG.net that think that it what you do in games corresponds to your actual wishes in reality, you'd have to be one of them to support that stance.

That's why they hate games like LotFP, remember? Are you trying to prove them right:D?

Coincidentally, that stance of theirs is also why I hang on this board much more than on RPG.net. Well, that, and the fact that the experienced players here are answering questions, but the two synergise nicely.

I'm not even touching his assumption that playing another gender is perverted (meaning a great many actors have to be perverts in order to play some roles:D). That's equally moronic, but I don't even want to discuss it.

Quote from: Gronan of Simmerya;875046"I have a right to my opinion" does not equal "you must treat my opinion as something worth considering."

Gronan, can I sig this at RPG net and/or elsewhere:D?

Not ones he actually has to roleplay, anyhow, beyond "Hooters Chick #2" or "Whore #11."  His kind generally think their penises will fall off if they ascribe actual dialog to them.

No need to ask him, though.  What, beyond "Get fucked, you cockgobbling troll" would be appropriate?

What the hell, Jeff?  Are you really so out there that your reaction to people objecting to being called perverted for playing a character of a different gender is to scream "SJW!  SJW!!! ESS JAY DOUBLE-YEW!!!!"

This seems to fit your post admirably:

I do not care what gender my players play. That was for Gronan's benefit. Over at Fins forum, he has a well-earned reputation of a bully that has run over a dozen young people into deleting their profiles. That makes him a valid traget as far as I am concerned. He is almost as big of a jerk as T Foster, if that were possible.

My players can play whatever they want, after all we are all over 70 and it is not like we are going to listen to anyone telling us we can not do something.

Monk, usually in the attempt to make a Ninja.

You want to play a Ninja in D&D, make a Rogue.  You want to play a Ninja in a setting that doesn't support them?  That gets the eye roll.

Please do, though remember that at RPGnet I'm still using "Old Geezer."

:hmm: I thought his was the kind who ascribed a nickname* to their penis. And I figure once you give your member a name having it talk back to you is a pretty short step.



* Like Mr. Winky or something. Also, it is remotely possible that I confused Ravenswing's use of the pronoun "them."

Your rpg group is entirely septegenarians or older?  That is pretty awesome.

I found it odd that more classes weren't included in the poll. Specifically, my eyes roll when a player wants to play a Wild Mage/Sorcerer. Take your "wild magic surges" and GTFO.

You left out "multiclass."

You're against multiclass characters?

Discuss!!!
