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.

It's an interesting political gimmick. Well designed website and making the event free was smart. It should do well if it avoids tech glitches that have plagued other online conventions.

Quote from: jeff37923;660999It might, but I read that and immediately thought, "Hell yeah! I get to be a Player instead of a GM for a change!" :D

Because clearly, if male GMs had been allowed you would have been forced to GM and not allowed to be a player.

Is there any word about this on the bulging pendulous? I can't find any threads about it all all. Seems like the kind of place that could do with hearing about this con.

Not a word about it on that other place, no.

Yeah, that is sort of eyebrowraising.  We know several people from both places read this forum religiously.  It's a bit telling that for people who are self-proclaimed champions of female inclusion, they haven't bothered to even mention Contessa.

Or maybe they really aren't "woman inclusive", if those women aren't as fundamental as them.  Ironic, that.  Our hobby needs less people like them, less people like BT and Brad, and more people like Contessa.

Note I said "people" and not "men" or "women".  I give a fuck what gender you are.  The game is what's important.
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.

Well said. I agree 100%.

And yeah it's pretty damn ironic.

While true, i notice that since the money started rolling in, we've seen no sign of ConTessa here.
