At least here in the United States, this is where things get a bit complicated. If I'm a retailer, I have a right not to carry anything I don't want to carry. If I own a game store, I could refuse to carry Thirsty Sword Lesbians because I don't think it's a good game, I don't believe it's...

At least here in the United States, the right to freely associate with whom you wish is enshrined in the very first Amendment of our Bill of Rights. When it comes to commerce, a business can't refuse to serve a customer on the basis of membership in a protected class such as race, skin color...

I'm in agreement here. There are a lot of different ways to play, and so long as everyone is having a good time, I'm hard pressed to think someone is a bad player. I've known players who play essentially the same character in every campaign, and they're still fun to play with. I had one...

I have strong opinions on d20 Call of Cthulhu as well. It was a surprisingly good adaptation of CoC to the d20 system and a fantastic introduction to Cthulhu for a lot of people who otherwise might never had given the game a chance. And I'm someone who largely looks back at the d20 era as...

I would agree, which is why I would never argue attributes alone should determine personality. I was asking if people incorporate their character's attributes into their personalities, and if so, how? Bingo. This is what I was curious about. And of course there's no single right answer. You...

And from what I can remember from when I was in school, there was plenty of explicit material of a heterosexual bent as well. Naughty words too, but not a whole lot of people bring any of those up. Sorry, but I do not believe a significant portion of my fellow citizens complaining about gay...

As heard in my D&D session last week: "What'cha gonna do, when Heironiamania runs wild all over you?" There were about three years of my life as a youth where I was really, really into pro-wrestling, and like many others, Hulk Hogan was my favorite. He always seemed older to me than he...

In the early 90s, there was a little magazine published for Cyberpunk 2020 called Interface. It was a quarterly magazine that introduced new cyberware, weapons, drugs, NPCs, organizations, etc., etc. to use in your Cyberpunk game. In 1991, Peter Christian wrote an article for Interface called...

At least here in the United States, we have a fairly long history of relegating stories about gay people into the adult category. Years ago, I remember Roger Ebert complaining about a movie he reviewed being rated R. He noted the lack of foul language, nudity, violence, and explicit sex...

I don't know if they still do, but Walmart used to refuse to sell albums with the Parental Advisory stickers on them. They'd sell the clean version of the album, but not the regular version, and this was back when Walmart was the largest music retailer in the United States, so it really...

Have the bats released a statement yet?

That looks like something that would have fit into Disney's The Black Hole! Nice!

I'm working on getting my group to play in 1920s Arkham, MA or perhaps the Two-Headed Serpent. Hopefully we'll be able to try Japan in the future.

I might be an outlier here, but how strong is the desire to have official D&D or PF2 monsters in miniature form? I realize that might sound rich coming from a guy with the Wizkid's Beholder as his avatar here, but even though I paint tons of miniatures, miniatures I use for D&D, I don't think...

There are more places in Great Britain then London? I'm still recovering from learning there were places other than the United States during the Victorian Era, so I don't know if I'm ready for this kind of mind expanding knowledge.

I'm not completely surprised by this given the Transformers and GI Joe games released in recent years. It's a more appropriate choice for the subject of an RPG than Deathstalker at least. I did not expect PCs to be able to join the Mutants though. That's a surprise.

I agree. It's hard to envision anyone else as Genghis Khan after John Wayne's stellar performance in The Conqueror. As a general rule, I don't have a big problem with replacing actors. At least not most of the time, especially when decades have passed since the original. Would I have...

It's been a few years since I've been to a Red Robin, but I found both their burgers and their fries to be somewhat lackluster. They were serving up endless fries but I didn't bother asking for me.

I didn't either. I was today years old when I learned there were sequels. I've never seen Scanners, but I remember seeing it for rent from the local video store as well as the occasional clip of scenes with people's heads exploding. As someone who watched a lot of bad movies in the 1990s, how...

I think it's hard to go wrong with French fried potatoes no matter the specific style. It's like discussing which is better, Alien or Aliens, Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back, or Blade Runner or Blade Runner 2049. No matter which one you pick, I'm not going to try to talk you out of it...
