Allow me to quote you, where you gave one reason and one reason alone: Now let’s do fancy grammatical math: “I would not be able to trust that paying for the product would lead to actually getting the product, even in the unlikely event that they advertised a product made specifically for...

How that reads: “I’m fine with Bledsaw, but doubt I’d ever get my toys.”

This is just a wordier “I don’t even OWN a teevee!”

Ahhhh, yes—the ol’ “the people that complained are the real problem here!” canard.

I went for about five years straight, with the last time being about a decade ago. Pre-2016, most certainly. For every great memory, there are five bad ones. And most of the bad were permutations of Goodman’s recent golly-gee-whiz “we’re about building bridges—why can’t we all just get...

The more “concerns” voiced by GG, the more they seem to be about saving face and hard lucre over Real, Genuine, Authentic Understanding; hell, at this point; , it’s almost like willful, obstinate blindness instead of well-intentioned (albeit derpy) cluelessness.

It’s been consistent since about 1996, when the birth of The Internet and larval Geek Ascendancy and the release of Deadlands converged, with living in The South being the cherry on top. Most infuriating? Going to multiple North Texas RPG Cons where many, Many, MANY in attendance (including...

You’re ever the optimist, because (based on wholly anecdotal evidence, yet gleaned from decades of going to cons and playing in FLGSes) the people who support Bledsaw’s views are a huuuge part of the community, cyber-bloviators or not.

I’ll kindly pass, as I can’t perceive any of your “nuances” that distinguish from my interpretation.

So, after all your posts on subject, am I correct that your ultimate parsed take is: “It’s bad… but not that bad. And folks that are upset should just be… less so.” Is that accurate?

Gotcha. It’s just a matter of scale: really awful optics versus really, Really, REALLY awful optics; accordingly, should only involve a smidgen (iota? micron?) of fair condemnation versus all that wild-n-wooly unfair condemnation that has the mob all addlepated. Whew. Glad to be set straigh!

Is your entire stance predicated on semantics? Does saying “Joe Goodman seemingly has no problem working with Christian-nationalistic, trans- / homophobic, white-supremacist bigots (even after he said years ago he wouldn’t)…. but at least they’re not Nazis™️!” fix it? Seems like you’re...

Rest assured, we played tactically and sensibly before getting slaughtered by the basilisk. But our “couple rounds of combat” ended up in total failures on our end, whopping successes on the big bad’s end, and everything incidental that could go wrong going wrong. The surviving two (outta...

My group played multiple published scenarios (all from the KS), and they were brutal as brutal can be. Multiple TPKs. The GM even confided—after deciding that, nope, Dragonbane irritated him too much to continue—that the “basilisk adventure” was essentially impossible. As published, defeating...

“Baby, I didn’t lie saying I’d never cheat on you back in 2020—I simply changed my mind when I did so in 2022!!! Why ya mad?!!!”
