We built our setting as recommended in the burning wheel books, collaboratively and I sort of steered in it the direction I wanted to play which ended up being some weird mix of elements from dragon age origins and Merlin (tv series from BBC). It took one session for a player with a dice roll to hijack the whole premise of a rebellion to be about feminism. Yes, an entire rebellion for equal rights in the middle ages. I openly told them I really did not want to play in that kind of setting and they went with it anyway. I dropped from the game after like 2 more sessions of trying to steer it back but it became pretty clear to me that she was too busy in her clam fantasy to think of anyone else who has to actually sit there with her. Also should mention, it wasn't earth so it was never actually established that women were oppressed in any way so that was entirely her doing.

Hate that you had that kind of experience. I'll go ahead and say it: They were playing BW wrong. That's not how it is supposed to work. If you want to talk about it, when we can start another topic.

Damn i just added Luke Crane to red, more digging I was able to find an interview with Anita and Luke Crane, a bunch of selfies and testimonials. I enjoyed reading burning wheel gold, but gotta say my experience with it was just cancer. I recruited some people off of the burning wheel forums to play over skype and have someone show me the game. We got a small group together and began, alot of things happened that showed parts of the system way better in theory than in practice.

From my memory, I know they had judges at magic the gathering tournaments who were also on sex offender registries. They did not vette their judges in any meaningful way, I think came to light after they banned the quartering dude from attending MTG tournaments for getting into what looked to me to be a very mild online argument with a cosplayer who frequented MTG tournaments. Several of the offenders were on the registry for pedophilic offenses.

Ocule, Twitter has discovered your list. And I should note this:

Someone is very helpfully outing themselves as Red.

Never heard of him. (GOOGLES BEN LAURENCE RPG)
He seems to have three zines on Drivethru and worked on another issue of one for Necrotic Gnome?

Okay.

Seems I was wrong about putting that one in the green. Even being called apolitical is taken as a slur now, lol.
The google doc is destroyed anyhow.

RPGPundit · September 05, 2021, 02:53:05 PM

also, Ocule, your google doc has been found by communists and utterly wrecked.

I suggest you take it down and start again without letting other people be able to edit it.
Or requiring permission to edit, or something.

Who? Is he even worth putting on a list?

I hope to Christ, when I finally release something, I'm on 'their list'. That would give me the warm and fuzzies.

palaeomerus · September 05, 2021, 02:56:45 PM

I guess in a way it was a kill list for the baby Maoist twitter-assholes to go after.

Well, they did. You need to erase it all and start over?
