The fans saying this is a leftist hit job are wrong. I can not only say it, I agree with it. The issues at EGG were not political. Everyone on the staff is pretty much liberal in their politics (I don't know everyone's politics there, but anyone who spoke about them, did so with liberal...

I agree all around with this. I also think different approaches are right for different people (or companies). I'll say that in the group and posts in question (which are a tiny number of the posts overall in that group) the invectives were political ones (that I saw), not targeting peoples...

I'm a writer, I've often got a lot to say. And honestly, I have no idea what you think my or EGGs position is (you might be disgusted I don't attack right wing fans, or disgusted I'm a liberal that believes in rights for everyone), I have no clue what you've decided as you haven't said much)...

Well, in my opinion, there is nothing especially political about accepting and embracing the wide variety of humans there are, especially when the context is an RPG. Rights for the disabled and everyone else, that is political as its public policy, but still, for me, its just being a decent...

It's a fan run Facebook group. EGG does not control or run it. I engage with our fans wherever I may find them but that is not an endorsement of any forum or group. I don't generally attack fans or get engaged in political discussions with them when the context is our game, or gaming in...

I'm sorry I've caused you additional heartache. I don't agree that I'm trying to make light of anything, but none the less, I'm sorry and I'll be silent on it.

I will / did. Perhaps you misunderstood me or I you. I don't know, but learning that you have been threatened makes me reconsider whether I can stay in good faith.

I'm not sure if you have worked in the tabletop world as a freelancer. It's not that uncommon that it can be a bit difficult to be paid. Most often, its because the owners of these companies are doing 50 things at once and you have to remind them what you need and when. I did work for EN World...

I'm sorry Ivis, I didn't know. I spoke with Faith as I got the impression she was collecting your stories and I spoke with BJ earlier trying to learn what had been said and done. I'd asked if they'd learned anything beyond what I knew. Since we didn't work together a lot or talk much outside...

Well, I was asked about a specific statement so I responded to that. I was there when that comment was made so I know the context it was said in. I was not there when anything about women being easier to manipulate was said. I don't think that is sexual harassment, but its certainly misogamy...

Sorry, that was not intentional, I will change that to read sexual harassment.

It doesn't though. Just because something doesn't rise to the level of assault, doesn't mean its OK or justified. There are gradients of bad behavior in life. We all have a line somewhere that we draw. That's mine, you have yours. I do not think there was a good reason to say that about...

Before I answer, please understand two things. 1. I'm not justifying this statement 2. I think that is a terrible thing to say and should not be said The Answer: It is a figure of speech often used to describe the act of using another person's clout to sell something. So an actor might "whore...

Something I wanted to add to the conversation from a personal viewpoint. I think people might wonder, (and I've seen some speculation), why would someone keep working at a place that seems so awful? The answer is kind of complex for me, and I think there are plenty of reasons (good and bad)...

Just to be clear. As a current contractor at EGG, I personally checked with people leaving to make sure there was no sexual harassment happening, I was told directly there was not. Nor is there any sexual harassment in Morus's report. I wouldn't continue to contract if there were which is why...

I and the others are so far as I know, and thanks for the kind words.

For what it's worth. As the game's lead designer, I've ensured everything get's published under an open gaming style license, originally OGL and later ORC. Games can outlive companies (see D&D and many others). I'm honored you like the game, and I'm committed to supporting its fans one way or...

Fair point.

Very well said. I 100% agree. A company cannot survive and prosper if it cannot keep good people happy and productive. The RPG industry is littered with drama and failure. That is both because it is a hard business, because personal artistic passions are a hard mesh with capitalism, and...

You are insightful in this. The relationships are complex and there are concerns beyond technology. I can't speak for others, but my impression is that would be the turning point or catalyst. I spoke about the technology portion because its not very personal so I could address it directly and...
