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.

Um, I wore it last weekend at SCA.

No you didn't.
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

(I'm just being pedantic for hopeful humor value about the 'fact' there's chain and maille but 'chainmail' is bs someone made up about 100 years back)

Double checking, even the 'chain' bit is complete hooey.

Anglicization is good for the soul. We've got to fight back against institutionalized Norman oppression encoded in our language. Down with the Frenchiarchy!

Get back on the topic, serfs.

I'm more than okay with tasteful nudity. Even with a bit of not so tasteful nudity. But I'd very much expect a Fables of Thousand and One Night RPG, or Sword & Sorcery ones, to have a tasteful harem scene, perhaps a reference to the famous Odalisque paintings of the XIX century.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Quote from: TristramEvans;809707I meant chain mail. Red Sonja in the Marvel comics has only ever worn scale mail.
Ah, yes, sorry for misunderstanding (and misreading).
You are definitely correct on that.
I do not seem to be alone in that misunderstanding, though.
I may not dislike D&D any longer, but I still dislike the Chaos-Lawful/Evil-Good alignment system, as well as the level system.
;)

But if you are going to have nudes please have them with period  correct shaved arm pits. I can handle chain mail bikinis in fantasy RPGs but if I have to look at some furry French woman in a chain mail bikini it ruins all the "fantasy" in my rpg.

I imagine they would look rather silly. Chain mail is real, although they are most often referred to as chain letters. These days with ubiquitous e-mail, chainmail is more common than ever. :p
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

See what I mean the conversation is about how much boobage you can get away with and tasteful nudity is always tasteful female nudity. Hareems, red Sonja, etc no discussion about naked male wrestling, tasteful male bath scenes, or classical Greek styled man love....

Mostly because probably nobody'll be in arms about it, or at least - nobody who can whip up a frenzied Internet mob. I'm down with them as well. Especially the last one.

For those crying, "What about the mens nudies!" may I direct your attention to the genre of yaoi manga and anime. Some of it is even tasteful.
"Meh."

People don't normally argue for something unless they have a vested interest. I am OK with balance. I probably have a couple of naked dude miniatures and there are actually plenty of companies out there that make naked dude miniatures.

But if I am going to support nudity in RPGs, there's only so many pages in a book....

I'm pretty selfish I guess... which is why so much personal preference gets labeled as misogyny in this day and age.
