I'll be frank, regardless of his poo poo take on it, it's actually good to see confirmation that anyone at wotc actually gave a poo poo about it at all. This is frankly news to me.

Return to Perinthos, the megadungeon book being put together as a memorial for industry icon Jennell Jaquays, is now raising funds to print. It will contain ~200 pages with over 80 brand-new maps and keys from dozens of contributors (full disclosure: including myself) for a wide array of systems. All profits will go to her family and the charity Trans Lifeline. https://crowdfundr.com/perinthos JMBosch fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Anyone have a condensed thing about what a piece of trash (CHUD'S NAME) is? He somehow got into a buy/sell/trade group that I mod in and I'm trying to just get him blocked outright.

It's not bigotry related but I'll always remember him as the guy who got banned from RPGNet for trying to hex the forum.

He's an also-ran second-stringer hanger-on of the RPGPundit of all people. Since his continued existence proves nothing is pathetic enough to make you simply implode into nothingness, the constant yes-manning of one of the most aggressively unpleasant fascist weirdos on the Internet should be bad enough. I'm sure there is more seriously actionable, specific stuff, probably some rape apologia or generally unacceptable mask-off comments, but he's honestly so unmemorable as anything other than "of yeah, him too " or the aforementioned banning for spells it'll probably take a bit of digging.

It might be worth just letting him buy/sell/trade stuff unless he's a problem. He's a repugnant rear end in a top hat, but he's never had a reputation for scamming anybody.

Incidentally he hangs and is welcome in the LotFP facebook group where Raggi and Reints regularly talk about their game nights with Zak, who is also in the group openly pointing members towards Reddit posts and internet users he doesn't like.

moths posted:It might be worth just letting him buy/sell/trade stuff unless he's a problem. Nope, not worth it at all. Besides, all he does is link to his webcomic and doesn’t actually post any actual physical content for sale. Also no tolerance for Nazis but it isn’t my group so I can’t outright ban him without cause.

Apparently Darrick has his own convention called VENGER CON. He went to KotakuInAction for advice on how to market it and even they call him out on his BS because all his posts are about shilling his own product.

As far as I know Venger Satanis hasn't done anything illegal. It would be tedious and not worth anyone's time to list out all the lovely little things he's said and done, but you can always count on him to be on the wrong side of any and every Gamergate-style controversy in the hobby and pal around with/suck up to the worst people. His stock-in-trade is pretty much the same as James Desborough: low effort dreck that's calculated to offend, because that's its only notable feature. His work features degrading caricatures of Muslims and trans people, and he wrote a module around #ThotAudit, to give you an idea of where his mind's at. By his own admission, his beliefs are just garden-variety Republicanism. Y'know how the Bush era gave us New Atheists, and it turned out that despite breaking with evangelical Christianity they tended to be misogynist, Islamophobic, intellectually incurious, self-satisfied little turds? Well, some of those guys decided to identify as Satanists, wear black nail polish and those stupid finger armor things, and give themselves cartoon villain names. When he's not trying to cast spells on the Internet, he's just a Gen X Republican shithead.

Yeah I'm not advocating for Nazi inclusion. But if he's just a cringe baseline neo-con? All you're accomplishing is fueling his victim complex. It's giving oxygen to the kind of pants-shitter who'd furiously masturbate between taking screen-caps this thread as evidence. I feel like it'd be better to let him participate on thin ice, then 86 him at the first sign of bad behavior. Which is what happened except he's still around?

Yeah if he's already demonstrated that he's in the buy/sell/trade group to self-promote instead of buy, sell, or trade? You've already extended civility and he's slapped it away. I don't understand why he's still there.

Magnetic North posted:I don't understand this. I mean, I get it in a broad sense, but I'm curious how it came about. Is it an anti self-promotion rule or something? Yeah, it's a buy/sell/trade group on Zuck's site created for the sole purpose of people uh...buying/selling/trading rpg and rpg related stuff. The problem with a lot of those groups is that they tend to be sort of wild west with little moderation and then either publishers or creators start posting links to their kickstarters or web stores or whatever and then once that takes hold, then the group is useless from all of the promotional noise. Personally, I didn't want the dude in the group at all once I saw that he joined and was looking for excuses to ban him. The rest of the mod team didn't really want to straight up ban people on the grounds of the content that they sell (with exceptions; I mean, if you're going to sell some bullshit Raggi book, then censor the cover when you post) but people dropping constant links to Drive-Thru RPG or kickstarter shits up the group. I removed a couple of his posts and messaged him to not post external links which he ignored. 3rd time I'm like gently caress it; later "Venger."

If you're doing this on facebook I'd be careful about giving details here. Someone will probably tattle about your posts here and might be able to doxx you from cross-comparing poo poo.
