That is a terrific post! I won't reply to it in detail mainly doe to lack of time, but I will say I agree with a lot you've said. Let's forget for a bit about magazine advertising. Although I think it would make sense, I also agree that it is unlikely to be the best use of the money with the...

I don't feel he was making a point. He was taking the piss as far as I am concerned. You made a similar point a while ago and, although I disagree with it, I replied a couple of times. I rather miss points than engage with people who get into a conversation in that manner. Also, I didn't miss...

Since I doubt I could possibly sound any more obnoxious than you, I won't bother to reply to the dribble you just wasted time typing.

OK, granted, those rates are pretty crazy. I have no idea how much any other magazines charge for their advertising in the USA, but here in the UK the average is £200 per 5000 readers for a full page ad. Way more affordable (unless you're a newspaper, though. Those are also petty insane). My...

Agree with both points. Trying to impose a game design on a fanbase just because you (the company) have invested in it, even if the fans don't like it, it's a monumental mistake. Ooohhhh.... sarcasm! No comment. Having worked in marketing and advertising, I am aware of the need for a...

A fine selection indeed! Congratulations to all the winners.

Normally I would post this podcast in this forum, but the interview was interesting enough that I think it could spark some conversation. I was really taken by the fact that Spiel is organised by so many people and her approach to gaming itself. Also the reasons why they will not organise a...

True Blood could be fun. Mass Effect has been mentioned already (maybe with the AGE system) District 9 comes to mind as well.

Not knowing detailed reasons as to what was so disruptive that your friends disliked this guy, I can't really comment on his behaviour. I think you've done the right thing, but probably not in the right way. And maybe you weren't the right person to do it. When we've had to ask someone to...

The G*M*S Magazine RPG Podcast Episode 52 – Charon’s Claw with R.A. Salvatore Growing up with a hero is an important thing. To have a fantastic role model to inspire and, to some degree, guide our decisions as we grow up has clear benefits and can provide with many hours of joy and learning...

Why not give pouches to both genders? Even if it is the female who carries out the pregnancy and delivery, there is no reason why the males can't look after the kids once they're born.

No sir. I think about many other things. That statement was painful to read because to reduce gay identity to just the people you have sex with is very, very sad. Is the only thing that defines you as a straight man the fact that you have sex with women? Yes, as examples of ways to implement...

It really depends. Certainly relationships happen often. Sex sometimes, though it is not explained unless it is necessary. Examples: My friend was running a dwarf paladin of Moradin and he decided to fall in love with a priestess. The GM though it'd make for good metaplot and we roleplayed it...

[COLOR=White]To clarify (again) I am not implying any accusation of bigotry or homophobia. However I have acknowledged that they do exist, though not in relation to people posting in this thread. I haven't been rude in my replies (as far as I know) and I haven't seen anyone comparing...

No. As I have clearly stated previously. That is not the case. I have no idea who you are, but please don't try to help me.

A) The OP wasn't a complain. It was simply stating situations I have seen and elements I feel are left out. It was also asking why. At no point I implied that it is wrong or that people are bigots. B) I haven't been the one who's brought the word "bigot" to the thread. I haven't inferred, at...

At no point I have said there is an anti-gay agenda anywhere. I have simply stated the obvious, that homosexuality is left out of most fantasy settings. That doesn't mean there is an anti-gay agenda, it could be for many other reasons. From not being relevant to the setting to not having enough...

You're more than welcome to take exception to that. The truth is that it is a possibility. I am not saying or implying, as I have been accused more than once already, that if you don't you *are*. In fact the majority of people around here have been very clear that they, simply, just haven't...

It certainly going to be more useful than doing nothing, relying on the bible or by watching movies, that's for sure. "My particular favourite"? Homosexuality is not my particular favourite. That's just the one I deal with on a daily basis. I would prefer if I didn't have to deal with it at...

Sorry, missed this paragraph. Oh no. The percentage is actually very relevant. To ignore 2% of the population is bad. To ignore 10% is actually rather worse. Also, I could argue that, with all the information at our fingertips, lac of exposure is intentional, not accidental. Authors who want...
