    Harassment in gaming

    I know, right? Who would dare accuse a woman of being so out of control of herself and her environment that she couldn't simply tell some aping buffoon that her "eyes are up here?"

    Harassment in gaming

    That's exactly the advice I'm giving to your hypothetical wilting flower in the Victorian London game store. We agree completely.

    Harassment in gaming

    Men and women have equal rights in all western societies. Only a sexist would think that a woman at a game store on the receiving end of a cat-call would be helpless to do anything about it without the intervention of some other authority. Did your time machine just drop you here from 1894...

    Harassment in gaming

    Ahhh, so when you play rpgs AT WORK and your co-workers leer and stare at you, wolf-whistle, or undress you with their eyes, you have a legitimate claim for a sexual harassment tort. In California. Well thank goodness people can choose to game wherever they want, and build gaming groups of...

    Harassment in gaming

    Why do you think women need a simple concept explained? Do you consider women unintelligent, or too limited to understand basic legal concepts? You think the ladies present don't know what a dictionary is? There is no epidemic, no conspiracy, no systemic, continued unwanted actions towards...

    Harassment in gaming

    This isn't harassment. So she-said/he-said automatically trumps innocent until proven guilty? Nonsense. This turns into false accusations for no reason other than the supposed "victim" felt like exercising some consequence-free power. You also made a leap from "leering = harassment" (which...

    Harassment in gaming

    Perhaps my incredulity stems from my personal experiences. I've attended gaming conventions and been active in gaming groups and events at stores in the Denver area for over 25 years, and I've just never seen anything even close to harassment. I bring my sons and daughters to events confident...

    Harassment in gaming

    Let's ask the Duke Lacrosse team or the UVA fraternity if unsubstantiated claims should just be acted upon without evidence.

    Wouldn't that be the 'Doomed/Cursed' category? <rimshot />

    Those look good, but does the Jersey Shore know their male Chosen is missing? <snark />

    Gun Fu and Gun Kata [N.O.W.]

    I just watched John Wick...so this rocks. I was hunting down my GURPS Action pdf, but no longer! I was thinking JW would be a level 5C, since he has to at least get stitched up at The Continental... GREAT movie.

    D&D 5E So who is playing 5E?

    I'm running Lost Mine for my captive gaming group, my four kids! We kept trying PF but the modifier-creep sapped the immersion for the younger kids. 5e's simpler approach is much easier and the kids have taken to it wonderfully.

    D&D 5E What is the "best" character for ONLY levels 1-4

    On that note, are there any healing cantrips for Clerics? I figure if Magic Users (of whatever stripe) now have damage-dealing cantrips, it's only right Clerics should have an equivalent.

    D&D 5E Rarity of Healing for the Common Man in the 5e Implied Setting

    Outside of a Clerical spell, one example from the newly-available DM Basic file is the "Potion of Vitality." It doesn't heal directly, but cures disease or poison. It's also listed as "very rare." For me, this argues against the idea of Clerical "pharmacies" in every village for common men to...
