I see no value in approaching the problem in a counter-productive manner (promoted by her writing style).

If the original writer made the attempt to write persuasively, maturely, and appropriately about the harassment, the issue wouldn't be about their inability to write well.

To me, the issue isn't about whether harassment is so minor it simply doesn't matter. ALL harassment matters. The issue is what to do about it. Using cheap shots like "white male terrorism" is counter-productive. In fact, it is harmful.

I'm not finding that. I found this post http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?482661-Harassment-in-gaming/page41&p=6878248&highlight=Winnipeg#post6878248 but it highlights the lack of ability to do any fact checking on her claims.

This offends the hell out of me. First, there is NO documentation in her letter which allows actual fact checking of any of her stories. so you are favoring a double standard. Second, you are further victimizing male victims by marginalizing them with the piss poor excuse men are the primary...

Examining her words in her context Why is it "white male terrorism" instead of "sexist terrorism"? Why does she double-down on "white" with phrases like "white underbelly"? Why does she call the majority of men "cowards"? Has she met the majority of men? If she is having so much trouble...

Which females in CMB are shown as less-competent, less-prepared, and more fixated on appearance? When I think of women in CMB, I think of Red Sonja, http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/1/17/Red_Sonja_001.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070305144409 Belit the Pirate...

Sure, it is. Because posters have tried to excuse the use of cheap shots (such as "terrorist") on the basis that not using cheap shots means that the message won't be heard. So, this is _entirely_ about a writer's ability to write persuasively. It is about the piss poor excuse that such cheap...

As a gay man, I'm very familiar with the rhetoric which attempts to reverse hatred in order to be heard. It is cheap. It is lazy. It is unproductive and it actually _increases_ the amount of harm being done. If you are unable to write effectively without stooping to the level of cheap shots...

Speaking as a gay man, I have the ability to look at a chain mail bikini and not objectify women. That being said, there are plenty of opportunities in fantasy to objectify men. That's been going on for a very long time. examples...

Are there pewter companies that offer a lot of non-European figs? Not just African, European, and Asian, but Native American (without the stereotypical gear), Australian Aborigines, Polynesians, Amazonians, MesoAmericans, Innuit, etc.?

I thought this was going to be some lame ass comment about chain mail bikinis. But, it isn't. The incidents reported in this site are horrendous, absolutely horrendous and heart breaking.

Are you looking for a discussion or an argument? After I've put area of effect, range, detailed notes about particulars (such as how Mirror Image is affected by the d20 die roll to see if an image is hit), etc. FOR EACH SPELL KNOWN on the character sheet I really don't have space to put down...

If that works for you, that's great. But, many players and groups of players feel that anytime the book is opened, the sense of immersion is disrupted.

I think it is obvious, but since some of you missed it, I'll expound. Verbal and Somatic components could be replaced with a flat rule that _all_ spells have verbal and somatic components or that none of the spells have them. The added complication is in keeping track of which spells do and...

I'm never going to think of that movie in the same way again.

Are verbal and somatic components worth the added complication?

Is there any other way for a Bard of Lore to learn new languages other than to take the Linguist feat? That's an awfully high cost. If you take the feat a second time, then the only benefit it gives you is to learn languages 4, 5, and 6 and a +1 to Int.

This is definitely off-book, but I think it is neat. I would replace the d8 rapier with an escrima stick. However, the escrima stick would do d4 and double damage on a natural 19 and quadruple damage on a natural 20. It is also bludgeoning rather than piercing. As the 19, or 20 represents...

The way I've always imagined Warlocks is like John Doe got ahold of his dead uncle's book on Conjuration (his dead uncle was a Wizard). He believes that he's smart enough to manage these spells even though he has no magical training and he manages to open a small window into another plane...
