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 am a big fan of the Central Casting books. I have all three. My copy of Heroes Now is well-worn.

One of my players really loves them as well.

Huh? Did not know Jaquays wrote a Ravnloft novel? The Enemy Within.

Wasn't that Christie Golden?

Ah-haaa. Must have been a mislisting.

Jaquays did though write and illustrate module M5 - Talons of the Night. Has an Egyptian theme going. I have it, just never had much time to read through or run.

Yeah but it was not doing this for many a year. Then in the last 2-3 months it starts dropping me in the middle of a quote with the rest of the text off the buffer. Easy to miss.

Back on topic. Jaquays' Talons of the Night is an interesting thing. A little random. But that seems to fit Jaquay's style back then. It is geared for the M part of BECMI D&D and set in Mystara so for PCs level 30+. Even comes with a little board game.

The friends and family would definitely appreciate it if you expressed your condolences using her correct name and pronouns.

We made it pretty far guys, it was a good thread, but now it will be about virtue signalers coming in and policing speech.  The memorial is over; it is time for performative politics now.

I'm not policing anything. I just stated a fact. What you choose to do with that information depends on what kind of person you are.

Yes, a good person will stand up for what's true, and use the male pronouns, since he was male. A coward will say whatever they think will protect them from psychopaths like you.

Paul was a great man, and you aren't welcome in this thread. Do not reply to this post.

i hope Pundit is watching. Seeing the sheer amount of hatred toward trans people that has been allowed to fester in his own forums. And I very much hope he will take action to deal with it in a decisive way.

Freedom of speech does not excuse hate speech. It does not offer refuge for bad actors to be abusive to others.

Depends on what your definition of hate speech is.

Also, freedom of speech doesn't mean your FEELINGS won't get hurt.

If WORDS are enough to trigger you, then you're a person of weak character.

In the meantime the rest of us will live in the real world, wher nobody give two shits about your FEELINGS.
1. I'm a married homeowner with a career and kids. I won life. You can't insult me.

2. I've been deployed to Iraq, so your tough guy act is boring.

Your skin is thicker and rougher than that of a man, your pores and connective tissues are arranged differently from a woman's, your bone structure is obviously male, you have a man's hairline, your ring finger is longer than your index finger, your navel is above your waist, your body's fat distribution is different from a woman's, you produce male pheromones, you are biologically incapable of menstruation and pregnancy, every somatic cell in your body contains the Y chromosome, and your parents will use your real name when they bury you.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Can we just get back to discussing some of the interesting stuff Jaquays wrote?

Like Citybook VI: Up Town says on the cover "Produced by the Jaquays Design Studio and Flying Buffalo Inc." Was the studio just Jaquays? Or was it a group?
