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.

Strange reasons why you wouldn't buy RPGs

Quote from: Christmas ApeMan, I can't stand these people. All their talk about tolerance and understanding for rednecks, fat geeks, and such, and then they just turn around and heap scorn and contempt on easy targets, like conservatives and Texans!

Impressive. Not merely a racist (and almost certainly a super-size asthmatic basement dweller, from what we've seen) but a hypocrite as well, that group of people you despise more than other bigots!

Do at least try to keep your ignorant bullshit consistent.


- The Ape, engaged to a Texan

I agree. I'm a California boy who spent time in Texas during my stint in the Air Force. The people I met there were people. Nothing more, nothing less.

Stereotypes are for dumbfucks, Dominus Nox. Get out more. Travel. It's good for the soul.
In order to qualify as a roleplaying game, a game design must feature:

1. A traditional player/GM relationship.
2. No set story or plot.
3. No live action aspect.
4. No win conditions.

Don't like it? Too bad.

RACIST!!! RACIST!!! RACIST!!!!!:sleeping:

>YAWN<. Why don't you people get a new line once in a while. Christ, you're as bas as the McArthyites were in the 50's with "COMMIE!!! COMMIE!!! COMMIE!!!"

I swear, I'm beginning to feel that "RACIST!!!" is just what some people automatically scream whenever anyone disagrees with them on any issue.  It's just a mindless reflex response and should probably be relegated to the level of "background noise".

What led me to put him on my IL was his venting about how people who don't game his way are inferior.

That's sounding awful familiar right about now...

Nice selective quoting, but the lion's share of my point was about calling you on being a hypocrite, rather than citing your racism. It just kind of happens that you make such big noise about being tolerant of fatties, mouthbreathers, and the raw honesty of homegrown terrorists in masks who attack and murder lone civilians in the dark, that it's sort of hard to discuss your hypocrisy without your racism getting in the way.

It makes me wonder why I bother, sometimes.

The internet recognizes only five forms of self-expression: bragging, talking shit, ass kissing, bullshitting, and moaning about how pathetic you are. Combine one with your favorite hobby and get out there!

I have nothinig against Texans directly... it's the Dallas Cowboys I hate. I mean, they picked up TO. That alone is enough to hate them. That most Cowboys fans are Texans is just unfortunate for Texans.

Oh, and the strangest reason I ever heard for not buying an RPG was because it is d20.

An on topic statement.
You're this lurker's friend.

Strangest reason I heard for someone not buying a game is because I wouldn't be running it. I've got mixed feelings on that one.

???

Surely not liking the system is a good reason for not liking or buying a game?
