Yawgmoth posted:This is the RPG version of "I'd like to take a moment to tell you about Jesus." pre: One night I dreamed I was FINDING a PATH with a WIZARD.
Many scenes from my games flashed before my eyes.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the WIZARD
"HEY WIZARD,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints,
I was invisible and flying and you were unconcious from wounds anyway."

MadScientistWorking posted:Speaking as someone who works in an industry full of shitlords like those two the answer is a resounding no. Its very hard to get rid of those people especially when they are entrenched in like that. Well, yeah. You're never gonna get rid of them. The idea is to make them no longer the dominant force in the hobby by introducing people who aren't terrible to it and steering them away from shitlord-supporting stuff, so even if the shitlords are still around they're suddenly the minority and their views are no longer the baseline for people involved in the hobby.

Ratpick posted:Yeah, when I first saw that section I was just really giddy and excited and immediately went on to reblog it on fuckyeahdnd without even stopping to think of some of how poorly worded it was in places. I personally think that it was a cool thing of the D&D people to do, but I'm now also of the opinion that it was really badly worded and problematic. I really liked your take on that paragraph, as it achieves what the original paragraph set out to do with zero of the offensive wording, and since this paragraph is a pretty big talking point at the moment I was wondering if you'd be okay if I linked to your version of the paragraph on fuckyeahdnd? By all means; I put it on g+ so there would be an easy link for people to pass around if they want it. My version isn't perfect, I think, but I think it shows well how it could be even better within the same allotted space.

Instead of getting distracted by a game that's probably going to outsell everything else by an order of magnitude and shape popular conceptions and first opinions of this hobby, we really should be asking the question that's going to unite us, [ ], rather than divide us:What's the most patriotic, All-American, and idealistic RPG?

I look for the Price of Freedom every year at Gen-Con but always strike out. Yes I know I could buy it online but only madness leads the direction of "actually buying every obscure thing I want online."

So I bought a Battlefoam carrying case for my Mantic models because of the sale yesterday, but I still need a carrying case for the rest of my stuff. I've got a ton of Dust Tactics minis and a few walkers. Any recommendations for non-tacklebox storage?

I'm on page 7. But no. gently caress you. For all bs, and there is a lot of it, you just told some one to not run games that they want to see. Fear is the mind killer. Fear of good games and expression is the hobby killer. You're too stuck in the world of the RPG industry to see that most people don't care. Play the games you, YOU want to play, with the people you want to play with. Go aggro on shitheads, YES. Don't go aggro on people that just want to play. gently caress off. You just told someone their fun, their game, was bad and wrong. Live the parody, rbh, because the other option is admitting you've stared too long into the abyss.

Neon, bucnasti, cyphoderous, and gnoll know what is up. Whoever said that gnoll's position was pushing poo poo onto other people was being disingenuous as hell. Play games and make people understand that games are fun! When they run across shitheads, they'll react appropriately. And no, you don't get decide what that is. The gaming community you're a part of does.

If the opinion of the community as a whole gets to decide what is a good or right reaction I'm done gaming because I'm being told loud and clear that they don't want me around. Fun fact! We are part of that gaming community, and your voice matters. Your reaction to these lovely people counts as part of the community reaction. Keep on keeping on, Maltose.

The gaming community you're a part of does. Sorry dude, but this is silencing bullshit. This subforum is part of the gaming community. When we run across shitheads, we will also react appropriately. That is what is happening, right now, right here. You're just getting mad because it's happening in your space, and that's making you upset. And that's stupid. The gaming community right now, as a whole, is full of lovely people doing lovely things. You're right - that will never change if the community doesn't react to it. But we're part of that community. We ARE those people who get to react to it. You might have a point on us being dumb and sticking our noses into something that didn't belong if we were getting mad about lovely people in the NBA in this thread, but getting mad about Zak S and Tarnowski being lovely people is directly relevant to the gaming hobby. They are ALSO a part of the gaming community, and they sure as hell aren't going to just play games and have fun, they're going to speak up and spew their poo poo everywhere. You're asking that everyone sit down, play games, and let people like them make this community worse. You would have us do nothing, because doing something makes you uncomfortable. Your discomfort is nothing compared to the amount of hatred women and minorities receive from the general gaming community. And if we're going to improve it, we'll do it by speaking up. Sitting down and shutting up and minding our own business ain't gonna do poo poo.
