Podima I liked playing forums BSG with you but this poo poo is inexcusable and horrible.

Also to be very clear to people who don’t know how safety systems in roleplaying work, the allegations are basically “no we’re not going to respect others boundaries or fun” in a huge pile of red flags which are then mobilized for the actual sex creep part. (I was not a participant this is just hosed)

It was aired and summarily ignored.

Where? I didn’t see anything in Trad Games (the forum he modded), QCS, or here.

for comparison's sake for any admins/staff who don't know how serious a problem this is in terms of roleplaying community and safety, when a game master did this kind of poo poo on a livestream rpg to one of his players without previous consent the whole game series was immediately cancelled and the game master in question became persona non grata across the entire industry: https://www.polygon.com/2020/4/6/21207309/rollplay-far-verona-sexual-assault-lets-play-season-2-canceled

This normal for RP? A list of hosed up poo poo this long? I am being serious with this question.

yeah, but it's supposed to contain everything. it's not a problem that it's long, it's a problem that stuff was known to intentionally be left out.

e: for comparison's sake i'm running a tabletop rpg that's classic D&D "go into the dungeon and stab the goblins until treasure falls out" and it's still got four warnings about it at the front.

Imma let this one stay open for awhile.

podima is still listed as IK of traditional games and most importantly the subforum of trad games, the game room, where recruiting for games like this clusterfuck happens. those ik permissions should also be removed if they haven't been yet. this ik-ship is still listed on his profile for both forums.

I think you might be referring to this, though it's almost certain that this type of poo poo has happened more than once. Was surprised to learn the DM in trouble was the guy who created Dungeon World.

One of. The other DW creator, Sage LaTorra, has an impeccable reputation as far as I’m aware (but also doesn’t do live-streaming stuff).
