Yeah. He's still doing... that thing. I haven't really looked, but he seemed to be just plugging away from the tiny amount I checked.

Yeah, I found it. Also not gonna link to dog shampoo guy's mother's column moaning about how Sports Illustrated is forcing us (somehow?!?!?) to appreciate girls who aren't the right weight for her.

That's fair, I guess I meant the marathon rambles, but it's already hard to follow all the crap he says.

He always was a big proponent of sex positivity. I can see why Jamison Stone and Santine Phoenix would be so into him.

Jorpo's current schtick is breaking into tears at the slightest provocation. And like, no shade to any man willing to show some emotion and vulnerability, but the irksome part is that he's weeping over the horror of the things we might need to do to address climate change, as though taking a loving bus is an atrocity inflicted on younger generations.

I played it for a couple of sessions, it's really meant to be about exploring strange new parts of the world and setting up trade with them. There's a free intro, although I think there have been some adjustments since then. I haven't read through enough to run it myself so I can't say how much fundamental has changed.

Anyone hear of origins drama or lack thereof?

e: I am hearing that several (all?) of their joint events have been canceled. The only ones not are a live stream and Satine's event(s) that don't have Stone with her. So yeah they're trying to place all blame on him to preserve her image.

The noon thing today got axed, for example.

When the beauty standard wasn't an oiled-up teen or adolescent boy. A fact about the Classical period they've been studiously ignoring for a very long time.

Yes I'm significantly over-simplifying Classical sexuality in order to make a jab and there are like 40 different dissertation topics on just distinct beauty standards they would hate don't @ me.

Hm, that's very unprofessional behavior that they're exhibiting right now. I expect they'll likely send RPGTravel and the convention handwritten apologies to convey their sincerity and humility.

With the advent of twitch streaming we now have access to abusive and controlling GMs at a macro level. I love the future of roleplaying!

Of course this happens in all other avenues of twitch as well, not just TTRPGs.

I feel like it's always that way, really. When people are bad actors for years they do a lot of shady poo poo, so when the dam finally bursts it really bursts, but when the bad actor has a position of power (social, financial, whatever) it can be very difficult -- and risky for the whistleblower -- to burst that dam in the first place.
