Some days ago I posted the case of an RPGer in Vila Velha, a city in the state of Espirito Santo, next to the state of Rio de Janeiro, who was struggling to keep a law prohibiting RPGs from passing. Here's a quick recap:
- Council member proposes law.
- Majority of city council votes for the prohibition.
- RPGer meets with one of the 3 who voted against and is encouraged to come to Council with friends.
- RPGer manages to sway most of council members to veto the law after the mayor vetoes it.
- RPGer was to meet with the mayor to ask for his veto.
Well, said RPGer meets with the mayor, who promises to veto the law.
That said, if the mayor takes too long in vetoing or approving a law, the Council President can decide in his stead. Said Council President approves the law (probably trying to cut back on the many, many, many laws pending decisions).
Devir, who is responsible for bringing Vampire, DnD2e and 3e, Gurps and other RPGs to Brazil, is trying to invalid the law in court. But until the court decides on anything, RPGs are prohibited in Vila Velha.
