Evil Mastermind posted:I think most of the cultures had that taboo, actually. The "common wisdom" was that if men didn't ride side-saddle, they'd become impotent. As I recall, riding sidesaddle actually did make men impotent, though the book noted that it might be a psychosomatic thing. Either way, the people flipping their poo poo about it were hilarious and sad.

Evil Mastermind posted:The only thing is that I doubt they've be able to find another venue for this year, since I'm sure that the whole industry has already financially prepped and invested into this year's con, not to mention finding a large enough venue on short notice. The language in the letter made it sound like they wouldn't renew their contract with Indianapolis after the current term is up rather than break the agreement. Although I think 2015 might be the last year of the current term anyways.

nesbit37 posted:2020 is the last year of the current contract. You are correct; I just noticed the article I was looking at was from 2009. I guess then the big question is whether or not Indiana can levy penalties for breaking that contract.

So Gen Con released a further statement on the RFRA fiasco. Sounds like they're using whatever economic leverage they can short of breaking their contract altogether (which I have to imagine would cripple if not destroy the company) to put pressure on Indiana. I imagine the con's planned expansion would have meant a lot more money in the state's coffers.

Mind if I derail a bit to ask if you can tell me more about the Swedish RPG scene? I'm moving to Malmo at the end of March, and I'm curious if you know where to look for games/game stores.

homullus posted:Ok this actually makes no sense, even for OD&D. You start out as a skeleton and get flesh from . . . somewhere? . . . and gradually get stronger ... until you suddenly can do magic without being taught? Not only that, but if you fought another undead with level drain you'd go back down the scale. There's a story out there on the internet somewhere of a game, I don't recall if it was at Gary's table or one of the other original D&D groups, where a guy playing an undead character and had leveled up to "vampire" was in an aerial duel with another vampire. Said enemy vampire lands a level-draining hit, and since the undead critter with 1 fewer HD is the wight (which does not have a fly speed), things got... interesting. E: F, B

You are trying to have "useful discussions" and "analysis" of poo poo that is ruining people's lives. The reason people are posses is because, for the people this effects, this is not academic. Treating it as an abstract concept to be debated and analyzed is dehumanizing as gently caress. People have laid this out over and over in this thread, and your response has been to double down on your "I thought it would be productive." It's not productive. What's productive is supporting people who have the courage to talk about their experiences even though they know it's going to open them up to even more poo poo. What's productive is calling out toxic behavior and changing the culture that picks apart and analyzes survivors' stories like they're a frog in freshman biology class.

If I had to guess, "cronk" probably fills the role of "placeholder term I know will not be used elsewhere in the text, therefore making it easy to find/replace with a real term later." That's still a prety silly cronk, though.

Kurieg posted:Seriously dude? Don't do this. As one of the other Dummies in question, your review, while tough to read, never felt like an attack to me. And yeah, everything Dave said is accurate--I was one of those experienced writers with a lot of other poo poo on my plate at the time, and I regret that I didn't see where the game was heading before it was too late. It's not the game I thought I was working on, and I'm sorry that reading it caused you pain.
