    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    And women who have been harmed by sexual assault won't be helped if you make it easier for them to send people to jail willy nilly. Women have got to use their smarts of they want someone to be arrested for sexual assault, it can't just be her word against his and her word always wins! Women who...

    My Wormhole Map: Traveller

    Not sure what I want to do with them, they could be the same star system at different points in time. Part of the point of this map is to allow for incidental time travel as well. The situation is an alien race set up these wormholes a billion of years ago, and over a long period of time, a time...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    Putting innocent people behind bars doesn't rectify what occurred in the past. The standards of proof is the same whether the accuser is a man or a woman, and besides even in the past, when a woman made an accusation, sometimes people were hung for being witches, the authorities took the word of...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    Women are human beings just like men are, they can lie just like men do. We shouldn't automatically assume their word is golden just because they are pretty women. We may want to believe those pretty women, as men who want to date them, but as men, we could be their next victims if they are...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    That is what I am saying without the exaggeration of the hyperbole. If companies use underhanded tricks to undermine their competitors, those resources won't go into producing superior products that we can use. What I am asking for is honest competition and no tricks! It costs money to hire...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    I don't know him, if the women got actual proof, then they got him, not just their word that it happened. If they could record it say with a cell phone or something then they got proof. If Mr. Fannon is presenting a pattern of behavior, he will presumably do it again, and if the women are...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    We need to apply a uniform standard of proof to everyone, having multiple accusers is not proof, multiple accusers can talk to one another to get their stories straight, and this doesn't just have to happen to important people that are in the news. Defining who is important and who is not is in...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    False reporting is a big problem, it is the latest weapon, it has an effect. A person is presumed innocent until proven guilty for a reason, it is not there to protect actual criminals but to protect you and me from false charges and the public reaction to those false charges. The stereotype is...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    Just saying we can't allow witch hunts, we can't take women on simply that their word that it happened, we need some kind of proof, otherwise some women will get the idea that they can accuse anybody of sexual harassment, anybody they don't like, maybe a boyfriend that broke up with them for...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    It never happened to you, but that doesn't mean it never happened to anybody. Some girls can be mean, I know I've met a few of them, none of them ever did that to me, but that doesn't mean it could never happen. I guess in the 1980s, when I was actively dating, it just never occurred to them...

    Well if it can be used against one man, it can be used against another, I am a man, and if I see another man being "tarred and feathered" without benefit of a trial, then I know I could be next. I don't really care about Bill Cosby, but if he actually did something, then I would like to see it...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    As I see it there are two possibilities, either he is a harasser or the person making the accusation is making a false claim trying to ruin his reputation. Also sexual harassment has a highly ambiguous definition, not as clear cut as rape is for instance. There is a lot of "witch hunting" going...

    Infinity War in your campaign (Spoilers)

    I think it doesn't matter if half the zombies and vampires disintegrate or not, there are not a lot of those in the first place. Most fantasy worlds aren't crawling with undead. I think what type of undead matters, a ghost can't really disintegrate since they are incorporeal, a zombie or a...

    Infinity War in your campaign (Spoilers)

    Its a lot easier with a movie than with a role playing game with unpredictable player characters. Dr. Strange went forward in time to check a bunch of outcomes to see how Thanos can be beaten, and he found only one outcome where such an event can occur, now in a role playing game you need...

    Infinity War in your campaign (Spoilers)

    What undead? I didn't see any undead in the movie, there was Red Skull from Captain America: The First Avenger, but he just looks like a skeleton.

    I am not qualified to judge who is innocent and who is guilty, he might be a harasser, and she might be a girl "crying wolf" in order to ruin his reputation, only a jury can decide. It really has nothing to do with role playing games, sexual harassment can occur anywhere. I think it is a bit...

    Simple Superhero Systems

    You know Dungeons and Dragons would make a great Superhero system, especially if you drop rules on catastrophic damage and use them in a D20 Modern setting, using D&D rules where ever pertaining to the PCs but D20 Modern rules when dealing with NPCs, and start the PCs at above 1st level, how...

    The "Superstitious Mumbo Jumbo" Of Dice Rolling

    Dice add dramatic tension to the game and force players to manage risk, there are certain tricks that are employed. For example, when player characters are fighting a bunch of opponents, the DM usually assigns a number to each player character, and rolls a die to determine which player character...
