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.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

1. Females from whom no one would want "certain things", now,  later, or ever.
2. Males to whom "certain things" will never be offered, now, later, or ever.

That's called natural selection.

Edit: And I'm going to put this out there - most guys and gals that don't know how to acquire those "certain things", are *largely* self-inflicted in their beliefs of this condition. This is not, obviously universal, but the number of people that believe this about themselves are largely and unnecessarily high.

I'm saying this as a gigantic Asian gorilla that looks like Genghis Khan's 35,683rd bastard child, that by modern western "standards" of beauty would not be considered "attractive", but did quite well in my single-years. Attitude and confidence can compensate for nearly everything.

I don't think women rule the world and I get 'certain things'.  

I think that trying to claim that offering an exchange of services to get what you want might support a claim that women shop the world, but not rule it.  Usually, rule means you can DEMAND what you want and expect to get it.  Not promise to pay for what you want and hope someone is nice to you after getting what they want.
When I say objectively, I mean \'subjectively\'.  When I say literally, I mean \'figuratively\'.  
And when I say that you are a horse\'s ass, I mean that the objective truth is that you are a literal horse\'s ass.

So you don't understand jokes or the concept of rule by consent. Gotchya

It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

All religious fundamentalists suffer from this (and holier than thou, totalitarian, puritanical, sex negative, science denial, censorious twatism too).

And SocJus is a fucking cult. Change my mind.

If you want more games like Ms. Monopoly, keep giving you money to Hasbro.

Otherwise...

Roll that WIS save, I reckon that's gotta be a DC 17 :D

LOL

*grew up on a farm*
*has butchered animals*
*has used a bone saw*

...yep, I would say the bone saw counters my advantage for being clear over in the States.
So a straight up WIS save @ DC17, then.

...and my lucky die comes to the rescue...  :eek:

Unless, of course,  WIS is my dump stat...

and I don't think I want to ask the people I know IRL if that is the case.  ;)

She wins...tell her Happy Gaming.

Not only true, but then they form communities around it, and expel anyone who even tries to get better.

There's nothing authoritarians hate more than not taking things seriously and literally.

I have no objection giving #Hasbro my money as they've been doing a damn fine job trolling the shit out of people, just as God intended.

Kinda. There is a law of diminishing returns. Too much attitude puts you in Douchenozzle Territory. That doesn't preclude you from attracting people... but those people tend to be... let's call it "CRAY-ZAY", because those people they attract are too stupid to see these overconfident blowhards for what they are.

People mistake "attitude and confidence" with "overconfidence". I mean specifically being "self-actualized". Overconfident people have fragile egos. It's bluster. They break under pressure. Confidence comes from "Knowing Ones Limits" and resting surely on that.

The "Knowing" is the tough part that people have, especially nowadays because we live such pampered lives. Gotta get out there and test yourself without coddling and never stop. That serves the purpose of keeping your ass in check with yourself. and keeping you honest about your pursuits while increasing your competency in the things you do pursue.

If you just look at other people all the time - like self-inflicted victims do, they make excuses for their victim-state and tend to do nothing about it. They spend more time judging others and not taking the hard look at themselves and figuring out what's *not* working. I know a LOT of people in my personal life growing up that have done this. Grown fucking men driving Uber and waiting for shit to happen, not realizing at our respective age - you're running the wrong race, son.

Most of those people I've largely relegated to the corner of my life. Or out completely. I have lost my sympathy for them. But not my empathy.
