That copy has a very Bruce Baugh-ish ring to it.

Quote from: Simon OwenIf the spiders are invisible , how does anyone know they are spiders , they could be any other type of insect for example.

Does the WoD really need such whimsy ?

Because if you dump a bucket of flour on the head of an autistic child, you see spiders.  All over their ears.  Don't believe me?  Try it!

They're probably Shadows, not spiders.

For some reason copy prose is nearly always weak. One of the most important parts of the product IMO. Weak copy, fewer undecided people buy it, good copy can persuade a few more waverers to part with their hard earned cash.

Now that you say that, it does remind me a bit of the pitch Baugh made for his inexplicable True20 setting.

I wish I had a invisible spider when I was growing up

Quote from: Hastur T. FannonI wish I had a invisible spider when I was growing up

You did.  In fact, you still do.  It's right --

-- well, okay, you can't see it.  But it's there.

That's really bad ad copy.

It's also not at all gay.

That accusation leveled at Blue Rose?  Okay, yeah.  Maybe.

But please don't conflate my sexual orientation with WoD games.  I need what little dignity I have left.

Indeed, if by "Bruce Baugh-ish" you mean "talentless drivel". The two are synonymous, after all.

It's intersting that the first attack I've seen that used homosexuality in it was from Pundit, who was so outspoken in the "we're unfriendly?" thread.

Abyssal Maw, if you're out there, I hope you're ignoring this.

Hey, its the cross you bear in our modern Cartman world.
Stuff that sucks is "gay". Especially if said stuff is made by pretentious would-be "artistés".

You could redefine yourself as "queer" but then you will find people using your orientation to conflate with bizzare settings that make no sense, like Jorune. As in, Jorune is a bit queer.

You could just call yourself a homosexual. No one around here will conflate that term with anything else, I suspect. Or if they do, they'll get a can of whoop-arse from everyone else.

But really, you should just live with it. Hell, the little fox in your avatar tells me that whatever "dignity" you once may have held has long since flown the coop.

But hey, however complicated all of this might be, take heart in the fact that you're getting off easy: Settembrini's nationality is constantly being associated with bizzare leather fetishists dominiatrix-fandom!

Constantly. (at least, if I have anything to do with it!  )

I think we need to start a betting pool as to how many posts James will make before he either leaves here in boredom or finally posts something other than an ad hominem insult/attack on my person... I mean, really, how long can you go, dude?
You don't like me, we get it. But you're not going to change anything; it won't change how things are run here, it won't change whether this site lives or dies, there's nothing you can do that will actually affect me in any fucking way. Live with that.

Meanwhile, you may want to consider that if you can get over your issues with me and chose not to leave, you could even become a constructive member of this forum.
Fuck, right now Dominus Nox is by far a more productive member of this forum than you are. And that says a lot.

Cartman, as a character, is a crass little moron, and is never worth imitating.  The shock value simply rings false, originating as it does from a character that's basically a walking "fat kid" joke.

Now, get in the kitchen.  And make me some pie.

No, fuck Cartman in his big gay ass and fuck anyone who uses cartoon characters as excuses for their bigoted jargon.

I'm not going to redefine terms to dodge ignorant vitriol.  How about you redefine gay for yourself so it doesn't mean "stuff that sucks"?

Or you could just be an asshole.  I recognize that that's your "thing" here and all, but give some thought to whether or not this is a particular place you want to go in your jerkdom.

And if you think I'm being oversensitive with this crap, all I can say is walk a mile or two in my ruby slippers first.

I'm agreeing a lot here, generally.  I am, however, not going to walk a mile in those slippers.  Do you have any pumps?

Oh, and RedFox?  

Pie.
