I'm glad you consider her safety a joke. I'm hoping to take my teenage daughters to their first convention this year. Can I have your legal name, address, social security number and a clear and recent picture of you, please?

[-]While agree that a lot of unsupported speculation gets repeated enough that people then take it more seriously than it warrants, the third book this fall claim actually originated with a bookstore website posting pages for those products (likely automatically as the new entries appeared in...

Any convention where there is no harassment, in my experience, either means: A) They have aggressively worked against it, or B) They have no publicly reported harassment (probably because "a simple 5 or 7 rule policy" isn't enough for a woman to feel comfortable reporting and have her...

I have never found Undermountain very interesting (and never used it despite playing FR in every edition), BUT I have really enjoyed the 5e products so far and if presented as more of a setting than mega-dungeon, I would actually consider running it. That could be interesting. For example...

Sorry, I’m not going to take fanciful hypotheticals with no actual history over actual, existing, well documented harm that has occurred for decades and has occurred to thousands of women in our hobby and driven many away from it. There is zero comparison. Besides, even if this imaginary world...

What can they do? An awful lot. Having clearly stated harassment policies is a good start, but certainly not the end of it. Here is a good overview but in general: 1. Have a very clear harassment policy that not only says harassment will not be tolerated, but makes it clear how to report it...

The way I see it is basic error theory. You aren't going to be 100% perfect in determining exactly what happened (sure, we need to try to do our best and get it as close as possible to that, but it's an asymptote we will never achieve). So which is worse: a false positive or a false negative...

No worries. There's definitely places to engage and shut them down, but thankfully here the moderators handle it very thoroughly. So the thread will stink for a little while, but pretty soon it will be back to how it was, possibly with little sign it ever even happened.

Yeah, normally parodies are actually funny. Oh, and, Morrus (or other mod), when you do get a chance to clean this up, I'm fine if you delete my responses about this as well to further remove this troll's digital record.

As lowkey13 said, best to just not engage. He's so far beyond the rules of the forum that when Morrus gets a chance, he'll likely clean it out. Some trolls aren't worth engaging. They aren't trying to discuss in good faith, they are just crapping all over the thread hoping to get people to argue...

Reported.

Definitely looks likely but that clue was more than just an Eye of the Beholder reference. It was also clue #1 that pointed to this Twitter account that has been leaving a trail of hints to hunt down more information across the internet. (For example, it looks like Volo has started a Yelp page.)...

Citation needed. Because this would be very surprising news to a lot of people who run conventions.

Also, check the account's replies since it is replying to many people who ask questions. One of which is about the castle image, and they reply that it's not relevant: But they seem to be posting more every day. With the repeated mentions of finding the stone, I couldn't help but wonder if it...

That certainly took off this afternoon! Went from just a few of us who found it (I was first follower - woohoo!) to about 500 followers and a dozen more tweets. It'll be interesting to see where this leads.

Once more for those in the back: Also, it's even better than that. It's saying "If any man can be falsely accused, then *I* can be falsely accused, and that hypothetical risk is more important than the millions of women who are actually sexually assaulted and harassed."

What are you accusing Helton of? Seriously, that sure is sounding like you are accusing him of past wrongdoing. So what are you accusing him of? And to turn this around, to show how absurd this line of reasoning is: Your comment is just an assassination hit piece against him. Do you have...

Citation seriously needed (because considering the massive volume of threats of violence, rape, and death women get on the internet when they speak out is pretty clear evidence that this statement is ridiculously untrue.)

That sucks about being harassed. I despise Twitter, too, and never use it. I just figured if there was a hashtag, they’d probably use it.

Sorry to confuse, but it’s not another clue on the page. It’s a use of #NoStoneUnturned elsewhere. There is a Twitter account that used the hashtag early this morning (shortly after midnight Pacific time) hours before the announcement that also makes a FR reference. It’s not absolutely...
