Tanka is one of the asshole mods, to say the least. Right up there with Ettin (Hell, he might BE Ettin), the two faced troll. But they're all such a tight clique calling one a bigger ass practically a distinction without a difference. They have a habit of getting a user on their sights and hounding them with little bullshit infractions for things that regularly ignore until they goad them into doing something that boot them for, they person leaves or they can use all the bullshit infraction as an excuse to perma-ban them as "Not a good fit for the forum."

They'll keep the closed account listed so it will count towards their membership, of course. Some of the account listed haven't been used in years so there's no telling how many real users there are and how many zombies fluff the numbers. Hell, I've heard some former users that have said they've gotten notices of activity on their abandoned 'banned' accounts from time to time, so maybe they have to be used to keep counting as active or there's some other shenanigans going on. The rpgsite isn't nice, but it seems less crooked than rpg.net. I'll give it that.

No one beats Darren MacLennan in the arsehole stakes. If ordinary posters pulled half the shit he did, they'd be permabanned.

Agreed.

Darren MacLennan is a degenerate Gothic-Punk piece of subhuman filth and if he were burning alive, I would not even piss on him to put him out.

Seriously, Darren MacLennan went out of his way to bully me and torture me when I was on RPGnet, all because I dared to dislike the Goth subculture and didn't want personal horror in my World of Darkness games.

He literally banned me for "not liking Goth and Punk influences in World of Darkness",

If you guys ever wondered why I have such a fanatical hatred of anything remotely punk in nature, Darren MacLennan is a major reason why.

This is very true.  I even questioned him on Facebook based on his activity there after RPGNet said they would use your outside activity if it could be linked as a bannable reason.

I haven't run into this one. What's he done? Isn't he something of a head Mod or something?

Dude...Vampire minus Goth minus Punk minus Personal Horror = rolling D10s for no apparent reason.

But your dislikes about WoD are why I played Werewolf much more than Vampire (except for LARPs).

And you should buy Palladium's Nightbane (for so many reasons). You can get a used copy cheap.

He's the original arsehole mod, one of the longest-serving, which apparently means none of the usual rules apply to him. Some bullshit or other about how he held the line during the "wild West" days of RPGnet; you know back when it didn't actually require heavy moderation because we were all treated like adults who could resolve their own disputes.

Ah, but running WoD in a way that removes personal horror is an act of resistance in and of itself.

We must trigger the Goths and Punks. We must own the Goths and Punks.

If I play "Some Other Game", I am caving into their demands and letting them win.

Doc Sammy and myself may not agree on much we do have  mutual hatred of Darren. I would not piss on him either if he was on fire.

Heh, not like there's any rules that apply Mod(s) anyway on most any sites. But I remember the more open days on rpg.net too. I remember some calling for stronger moderation then; be careful what you wish for, I guess.

Docsammy,


World of Darkness started out as a personal horror game. If you want horror that isn't like that, listen to Spinachat and get Nightbane from Palladium.

Actually, First Edition World of Darkness only used the term "Personal Horror" as a marketing gimmick and was more action-horror mixed with political intrigues and dark modern adventure.

Personal Horror didn't become a theme until Revised Edition thanks to the untalented hack Justin Achilli and his myriad imitators that came after him.

I will NOT play "Some Other Game" and I will NOT play World of Darkness as a personal horror game.

I will keep fighting the good fight and keep playing World of Darkness WITHOUT pretentious personal horror bullshit.

I will trigger the Goths and Punks and own the Goths and Punks by refusing to play personal horror AND refusing to play "Some Other Game"

Fuck Personal Horror, fuck the metaplot, fuck Nightbane, fuck Onyx Path, and fuck the Punk subculture and her bastard daughter subcultures!

Goths and Punks Fuck Off!

Greetings!

Hmmm...well, I am not a Horror fan, really. However, along the way, I did pick up the main Vampire and Werewolf books from back in the day. I wasn't very impressed with either of them. I also picked up NIGHTBANE.

I have to say, Nightbane was impressive, detailed, and interesting. I used elements of Nightbane in my own D&D and Rolemaster campaigns.

I'd say Nightbane is a good book, and worthy to own even just for the ideas, plots, creatures and other such adventures and cool imagery alone.
