Hiya!
I'm a bit surprised that nobody has posted anything about what happened yesterday at GenCon regarding Jeremy ("The Quartering" on YouTube) and the assault on him. Mostly I'm curious to hear from anyone there about the 'feeling' and what the general scuttlebutt is. To my knowledge GenCon is actively shutting down anyone who asks about it and insta-banning anyone who asks "What happened?". So far, no comment from GenCon. Quite the opposite when that writer/designer guy (who's name eludes me) had one to many pints and was being aggressive to a woman (or was it women?), there was a whole news-post thing on the front page here and pretty much every other RPG site/forum.
So...is anyone currently at GenCon, and if so, what's the skinny? I have watched Jeremy's vid's of the aftermath and follow ups, and a couple other YT vids of some others talking about it and what they think. Mostly I'm wondering what the "feeling" everyone is getting from the GenCon staff about it. From what it sounds like, to me at least, it sounds like a "brush it under the rug and hope it goes away" sort of thing. And a few GenCon goers are saying they don't feel safe now or that they'll "never go to a GenCon" (a bit over the top if you ask me; one incident does not make it 'rampant' or anything of the sort).
Anyone?
