Has anyone there said anything about Chris getting arrested? I'm curious to see how many people there will defend Chris because of Trans rights and all that.

I see nothing, and a search for the most likely keywords goes back to May 2020 the newest. The results are plainly boring and pedestrian.

Nothing on the forums themselves. I follow Russell Zimmerman/Critias on Twitter and he mentioned Chris in a tweet (also accidentally calls them awful human beings?)

Okay, so Russ is doing the 'cucksent' version of pronouns... It's the third party observer whose feelings need to be respected.

As a third party who gets offended when a biological male who looks, sounds, and acts like a man gets called by she/her pronouns, then by Russ' own logic, he is specifically disrespecting me when he uses that man's preferred pronouns.

The whole trans ideology is so intellectually bankrupt. Any argument in its favor can instantly be turned against it by switching to a different person's point of view.

Also, reading this thread has made me appreciate the Farms so much. I may earn myself a dozen trashcans with my stupid posts, but at least I can say whatever stupid thing I want to. The discussion here is so much more nuanced and educational than it is in those SWJ hugboxes that ship you off to the metaphorical gulag if you deviate from the party line.

And when somebody says something stupid, all the dialogue it promotes actually helps provide an understanding of why it was stupid, which means a person has a greater chance of not being stupid again at some point in the future.

Too bad that Chris didn't get the message, after two decades of people laughing at him.

But hey, he's autistic and we finally have a case study on what happens to delusional manchildren.

RPGnet's got a Twitter group going after Sandy Petersen, creator of Call of Cthulhu and one of the devs of the original Doom, because of him "not being forward-thinking."

Faggots like this, who have never accomplished anything or contributed anything, just LOVE to pull down people who do.

Hopefully Sandy Petersen just ignores RPGNet as the trashfire full of retards it is.

Aw he misspelled his name. The 'r' goes after the 'a.'

If this is the same guy, then he did a couple of writeups on Deadlands on Something Awful a few years ago, never forgetting to proudly mention that in HIS Deadlands the Confederacy doesn't exist whenever it was mentioned, like changing the game setting a bit was a great moral accomplishment on his part. This was before the CSA was removed from Deadlands, mind. Not surprising there's an user overlap between RPG.net and SA.

Give how shocked he acted that anybody in his hobby might disagree with him...

This does not surprise me at all. Good info.

TSR was basicly a bunch of hobbyists who didn't have clue one about how to scale properly beyond "have a bunch of the white box ('0th Ed') printed and sell it in the want ads in wargaming newsletters."

There were competent people in the circle, but they mostly had their own gig and most of those loved in the next state over.

It's a testament to the strength of D&D that it managed to limp along so long (and also Star Frontiers and Gamma World, and to a lesser extent Boot Hill and Top Secret).

There was a lack of quality control, though, in the different rpgs they put out, though. I don't think anyone ever managed to make a coherent game out of Petal Throne (and not for a lack of beating that dead horse for decades) or Metamorphosis Alpha.

Man, suddenly I'm all nostalgic over Boot Hill. With a handful of people who really got schlocky early Western movies the game was absolutely magical. Gamma World was fun, but there was a bit of, "Well, this character is unplayable. I'm going to go wander into the wastes for a few minutes and see if I mutate into something useful before I just give up on it."

They were all, normally, more user friendly than non-TSR options. They weren't like Traveller based games where your character could die of old age before managing to escape character creation, even the shitty unmemorable offerings.

It's gotten lost over the years that the rules were just meant to there in the background, and consulted if there was a conflict, and were just modeled on concepts early wargamers could wrap their warped minds around. It's not like now where dice rolls define the game, it was the other way around. If you ever have a chance to play in a game run by any of the few remaining old guard (mostly not D&D at this point because of this), you see just how little importance the dice actually had in their eyes.

It's the outsiders who autistically latched on to rules that turned into the old-timers at places like RPG.net. I know from experience they absolutely hate the style of play Gygax used. There's a reason things like Tomb of Horrors are considered unfair by the rules heavy types. Played in Gygax's style they're insanely fun and reward creativity, by a rigid adherence to the rules they are just punishment, and he did it intentionally.

I can agree with this that's how I was taught to play DND

No fun allowed on RPG.net, more news at 11.

Anyone who still hangs out at RPG.net deserves no better, and the mods and users who are left really deserve each other.
Why did so many cool forums have to die over the years, but RPG.net gets to linger on as shambling mockery of itself wearing the rotting skinsuit of a site that used to be about elf games?
