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 feel confident in saying Jennell was Jennell is an easy logical position.

Paul achieved great things in gaming, then changed his name to Jennell, and asked to be recognized as female. Yes, no-one has contested this. You are 100% correct.

She didn't "ask" to be recognized as female. She was recognized as female. You are asking that she be recognized as male, and her former name. So, that's going to be a no from people who actually respect and care about her.

I wasn't going to post here because I don't have much to say about the departed. I just found out that I have been using one of Jaquays' books for a campaign in the past year: Savage Frontier. But since this has been derailed beyond salvage, I will add that pawsplay attempts to build arguments out of State authority are pathetic. I wonder whether or not pawsplay would be such a defender of legalism, if Jaquays and him lived in a country that didn't allow one to change one's legal gender. Would you complain about the people that here in this thread decided to use Jennell because Saudi Arabia DMV didn't recognize Jennell, only Paul?

I wish my post and pawsplay's and all replies to him would be deleted from this thread.

I'm curious as to how anyone going on to this web site would expect others members to follow any form of left-leaning political issues knowing just who runs this forum. I'm pretty new here, but I'd be willing to bet that most come here because they're tired of having to watch every word they say on 99.9% of the other TTRPG forums out there.

As to Jaquay's body of work: "FR5 - The Savage Frontier" is my favorite Forgotten Realms supplement.

Really sad to hear this, Griffin Mountain was easily one of the best products of its time and is an obvious inspiration for Mythras Monster Island.

I'm no art expert but I think Jennell did some great pieces.

Because it should be "widower".  That's a grammatical fact.

She was legally married, and her ID says she is female, which makes her status, as a matter of law, that of a widow. So you are incorrect, grammatically speaking.
Science trumps a politicized government ID.  He is a male.

This isn't the time or place for a 101 on sex and gender. I think it's very simple, however, to acknowledge someone's legal name, legal gender, legal marriage, and legal spouse. Absolutely the bare minimum of respect.

This is no place for scientific fact.  CONFORM NOW!

Don't feed the troll

Objective science and reality beats  subjective reality and science based on feelings.

Sad to see one of those working in the rpg industry pass away. I knew him under his previous name, Not do I care what his drivers licence says. Put an Armani suit on a goat it  still a goat wearing an expensive suit. Not a completely objective different thing simply because the goat drivers license identifies them as a person.

Son, you are using biological terms you don't understand.  Stick to gender and you'll get a pass.  Jennell was a male, he wanted to be considered a woman.  A male is a person possessing XY chromosome.  A female is a person possessing XX chromosome.  Now to leftards like yourself a woman is a costume, you put on the clothes and the make up and you want to be called a woman.  You are living in social constructivist zone, and that's cool.  Everyone else is living in objective reality and we are not going to placate people like you with make believe games.  If someone wants to call Jannell male, no problem, if they want to call him a woman sure go for it., however he was not female.  There is nothing that can be done to a human to change their genome, you are what you are born and will be till the day you die.

And lastly, Narcissim is your name.  You come here to make the thread all about yourself and your fucked up politics.  Respect the dead, say your peace and STFU, you are using the dead for your own fucked up identity politics.  I thought I broke you and got you to drop, I guess I'm going to have to go back to breaking your leftard brain again.

Son you come here to stir up shit, you want to make her Jennel's death all about your own front hole and how its bad for people to not believe, act and talk like a retard, like you do.  Jennell was a male who wanted to be treated as a woman.  Some people play that game and others do not.  You come to stir it up like the narcissistic retard you are for some perecieved social win to trounce around.  All you are doing is stepping on Jennell's corpse like the disrespectful ghoul you are.

I'm sorry your dad left you and you were raised by a pscyho bitch.  My best advice, get a hormone profile, treat your low T and keep your penis.  A lot of guys who get their orchiotomy and then splice their penis down the middle to line a hole cut in their crotch for gay men to pleasure themselves realize realize after the fact what they've done to themselves and it goes horrible for them.

Counterpoint, let him talk. He's doing more damage to his position with the trolling and bad faith pseudo-discussion than you or I could do with cold hard facts. His approach works in some environments, but here, where most people are capable of critical thinking, it backfires and actually galvanizes opinion against his position. Almost like he's an anti-trans agitator. Whatever...already too many words wasted. I sense an incoming wall of text and some more guffaws.

As for respect for the dead, well, maybe it's best to think of this thread as a rowdy Irish wake.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry
