    Wanted - RPG Writer (Celtic)

    And this is why I'm going to have to pass on the project... As stated in previous threads on freelancing, you need to provide information on rates and what the project is going to be about... And then you request the rights for free use of material... But you won't give information without an...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    And in your posts previously you have brushed off exactly what I am discussing, when I made the point, for the reasons I listed. You published your name and information in a series of articles in an accessible medium... But you don't feel comfortable sharing those articles? Allllright. Will...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    Yes... Torture and slavery are not good for anyone... When we are specifically judging gender, and the idea that gender politics are at play in Menzo seems to be meaningless to you. "Women suffer throughout fantasy, provide an example where men struggle" *Provides example* "well EVERYONE...

    Yes, again, judging books by covers. Yes, and what have you done lately? If I leave my house I guess I do not enter it ever again... That is quite strange. For someone who complains about misconstrued language... I'm glad that you, again, use the cover image to a book that discusses magic...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    And yet I am tired of hearing people discuss their understanding of combat because they have taken to the field in modernized as-close-as-we-understand-it recreations of arms and armor. You know, where we use machines that we created within the last three centuries in the creation, and whose...

    And I completely encourage the beefcakes :) Elf Witch Oh, RE: Infant/Child Mortality vs. Filth Fever: I actually compiled a simple macro/paste scheme (looking to actually make it macro by the million, but have it doing a macro of a little over 150k/run)... After 8 iterations (1.21 million...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    You realize we're discussing a system where we know exactly how much it takes to do... Pretty much anything? And the balance and power behind everything? Sociology in the D&D world can be summed up with a discussion, GP, and a die roll. We can pretty much isolate the numbers on an entire...

    And that is completely within their rights and I would consider it acceptable for their wallets to make a decision. You have made your decisions know on these products.. Which you have not touched, nor know anything about, based on outdated knowledge. If I When did I complain about the...

    The game actually has defined statistics... These statistics determine your strength, heartiness, and intelligence (along with your others ;) ). I'll crunch the information for Filth Fever (a nice low-level disease threat) and run it through the number provided for children's stats to check out...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    And even in our society where magic didn't exist men and women were put to the stake for curdling milk, killing crops, and sickening the populace. They were also put to death for heresy and all sorts of other wonderful offenses, and for challenging views on how to manage society and their views...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    And no more literal and obtuse view of impact vs. intent exists. The point is that the intent (depict an era of a specific genre or an actual historical epoch) is extremely skewed under your perception of its impact. If I was attempting to create an replica of the Jungle Book and removed its...

    Starting a new campaign (integrating sandbox and metaplot - mutually exclusive?)

    I actually wrote up an article on the Sandbox game using FATE style aspects for locations. It is a simple model, but it allows for you to see how the party can 'ripple' effects across the world/country/state. I discussed the addition of stresses to the system. Creating a running...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    So two games, made to be retroclones/throwback games (DCC/Cosmic)... And one that depicts a woman being victimized in a game renowned as one of the most intricate games around that uses a heavy amount of historical research to recreate an analogue of Medieval Europe (including its mythology)...

    D&D 3.x What if everyone's a wizard? [3.5]

    As suggested above the Codex Alera kind of works on this inborn magic concept... But it doesn't really fit the concept that 'everyone is a wizard'. We need a further definition of what kind of spellcasting exists. I mean, if everyone is a literal Wizard, as in they maintain this one class, all...

    Alright... Let us look through Pathfinder. I'll take the Core rulebook, From the cover through Chapter 1, to the opening of Chapter 2: Races. I count 6 full-color plates. Let us check this out. Cover: A nude red dragon (gender indeterminate as I wasn't able to see a cloaca much less sex the...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    There is a great David Cross bit that, if we were free to link, would make my argument here... It discusses the covering of Lady Justice. But I'll try to go with it. Also, I am just going to ignore the condescension of how my personal experience means nothing. None of the images we personally...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    And here's where you lose me. None of us could possibly understand the experience of violence and assaults on our sexuality, or the concept of fearing for our lives around a portion of the populace? I lived in bad neighborhoods. I grew up in bad circumstances. And I was a victim of sexual...

    That we can see... Amirite? ::chucks under ribs:: Ehh??? But seriously, magic tattoos, bracelets, amulets, hair-pins, rings, cloaks, boots... The variety of magics that affect AC and other tactical advantages are limitless. And that's just how it works. There are half-naked fighters in...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    Thanks for another attack about my ability to control myself. I must just be going about doing horrible things... Of course, but if I depicted a woman sky-clad in any works it is going to be construed as sexualized? Well, where would I get this idea... Yeah... and when we have a holy...
