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.

I run with scissors

Quote from: JRT;626270If you admit to it, why do you get so upset over this

Please do you think I care? Sarcasm is wasted on gamers.

AN asshole.

If you are going to be an asshole, at least do so using proper English. :)

Quote from: I run with scissors;626265Ding. Winner winner chicken dinner. Is it any wonder why more and more of the OSR crowd is moving to G+ so they can protect themselves from the masses. It is easier to live in a fantasy world when you put up a wall to keep reality out of it.

When I read your posts, I picture you in pink, with a delicate crown, and a high pitched voice.

I am a completely rational, level headed human being who only speaks in reasonable terms and thinks things completely through before replying.


Also, I am a great speller.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

I save the crown for state functions; right now I'm wearing my steeple-hat.

AFAIAC, you're all pretty on the inside.
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

You've got a lovely tan, but maybe eat a sandwich. Your neck frightens me.

If there are any backers to Dwimmermount on this thread who are interested in exploring what legal options we have please send me your e-mail address and how you are identified on the Kickstarter. My e-mail address is:

wmarshal@cox.net

I've also posted a similar request on the Kickstarter page itself in the comments page and in the comments to the latest update.

If I have your e-mail address I can try to keep you updated as to my progress.

Quote from: Mistwell;626207I did not make a joke about short buses.  I made a joke about a particular person, implying he is specially abled.  It's having a laugh at the guy who I said was specially abled.  Again, if I call you a slug, I am not mocking all slugs, just you.

Can you see your duodenum from where your head is?


In other news, to reply to IRWS' comment about OSRites fleeing to G+ as some kind of protective measure...  I don't see it, at least not at the scale you're implying.  There are certainly some people who see the ability to mute/ignore/exclude as a feature of that platform; and there are absolutely people who enjoy taking advantage of that 'walled garden' they've set up for themselves.  But there are plenty of gamers ("OSR types" included) who are active on G+ and still pretty active on (some) forums.
