The hilarious part of this whole chud is he's going to talk up a civil suit, then walk away with five digits worth of donations because any lawyer in the country is going to tell him that they'd be embarrassed to go before a judge and try to prove damages or pain and suffering for an alleged assault that left no marks and did a total amount of material damages amounting to a couple shirt buttons.

Ethan Van Sciver. That is not a surprise. Is it too much to hope it goes to court and Hambly finds himself in contempt for wasting the judge's time?

Are these two chuds part of the same brood? Because it would be hilarious if he holds on to the money and they all start squabbling over it.

Ethan Van Sciver is a pro comic artist who went untouchable by Marvel and DC when he went all chud so now has to subsist off the donations of alt-right mouth-breathers. He's basically the professional ComicsGate uses for validation.

Hambly was the guy banned from magic events by wizards for harassment and has since gone full alt right YouTube gamer gate whatever trying to latch onto every made up controversy for that sweet YouTube money. My guess is someone brushed past him and he made everything up. The police clearly don't believe him and the newspaper caught him out in several lies already. Also zweihander winning is peak ennies. A terrible retroclone given away to thousands of people all so he could have more people to spam with his publisher promotions and claim it sold 50k copies.

I haven't skimmed it in a while, but I got the impression Zweihander was more mediocre than terrible, which is frankly worse in my opinion. To whatever degree this garbage show actually does any good for a game, I'm glad Harlem Unbound walked off with a bunch of gold, anyway.

More than the game being mediocre, the guy behind it is a persistent and shameless shill on par with whatsisname the "Kaidan, a Japanese Ghost Story" guy, so I'm sure he's never gonna shut up about it now.

Oh, for sure. I remember him more for how often he got in trouble on RPGnet and the twenty billion times his game was a "featured sale" on DTRPG. (Which I shamefully went for when it was, like, $5.) One of my favorites is when he dumped some of his horseshit marketing in a barely-related thread with a MAGA hat that was photoshopped to say "Make Warhammer Great Again."

His style is extremely grating, but I think it might be working for him. I grabbed the pdf for free at some point but that somehow, completely unintentionally on my part, resulted in me selling two friends on buying the hardcover rulebook.

https://twitter.com/HoldenShearer/status/1025423793601306624 So is Holden talking about the feeding rules here that use the really confusing sex metaphor, or are there other rules in V5 that let you roll to force a sensual partner to go further than they are comfortable consenting to normally?

The latter. Holden would know all about those kinds of rules from his work on Exalted 3e, after all. EDIT: In other words, there's no end to the amount of gross poo poo in new Vampire due to the edgy alt-right courting assholes in charge of it. Exalted 3e has the paper thing protection that you can't use its rape charms on PCs, though NPCs are still a-ok; Holden is at least partly responsible for that, whatever whiny mouth noises the abuser shielding rear end in a top hat makes now.

why would charterstone be up for a nomination out of all board games from 2017? it's bad and has received basically zero critical praise. indeed people say the first two games are basically 2-hour long tutorials and the game takes at least 7+ sessions (out of 12) to even start teasing anything mechanically interesting

Apparently someone in this thread really loves stanning for Holden and Exalted rape charms, and also lacks basic reading comprehension, or is just too stupid to understand that two things can be bad at the same time.
