Lol

2018-11-08 18:57:34 UTC  

Trying to control tabletop is like trying to control the ocean as a landlocked country

2018-11-08 18:57:38 UTC  

Lots of women apparently posted stories about games they were in where people made them feel uncomfortable, but most are far too outlandish and lacked enough context

2018-11-08 18:57:56 UTC  

Wizards been doing what it has been doing.

2018-11-08 18:58:11 UTC  

but more importantly, its 3rd party sities

2018-11-08 18:58:28 UTC  

Yeah my reaction to sj stuff in pnp has always been idgaf

2018-11-08 18:58:31 UTC  

The only one ive been able to find is a story about a dm who required a female character to be a nympho and act make sex sounds during rp

2018-11-08 18:58:51 UTC  

Roll20 has been compromised for a while tho

2018-11-08 18:58:58 UTC  

i've stopped buying WOTC stuff. and now looking around the different sites.

2018-11-08 18:58:59 UTC  

They also want the dnd corebooks redone as they contain "racist sterotypes"

2018-11-08 18:59:04 UTC  

So just use rollz or something

2018-11-08 18:59:17 UTC  

2late, they're PDF'd

2018-11-08 18:59:17 UTC  

yeah, they have been making the books more progressive

2018-11-08 18:59:22 UTC  

Im trying to get off of roll 20, but im running games on it and cant switch mid stream

2018-11-08 19:00:48 UTC  

Wizards can't patch my 2e anniversary books

2018-11-08 19:01:06 UTC  

Or my Dark Sun boxed set

2018-11-08 19:01:30 UTC  

Or the Dark Sun monster manuals Imma order, or OG Planescape. Suck it

2018-11-08 19:02:51 UTC  

I wonder if D&D 6e will have one of the rules be "must have at least one female player in your group at all times"

2018-11-08 19:03:26 UTC  

Doesn't matter anyway, rule 0

2018-11-08 19:03:32 UTC  

They're rapidly rocketing towards that

2018-11-08 19:03:53 UTC  

They could write every character for "diversity" and make them all communists

2018-11-08 19:03:55 UTC  

Rule 0: any rule can be changed or discarded if it stands in the way of fun or a good story

2018-11-08 19:04:08 UTC  

But rule 0 and decentralization will always make it worthless

2018-11-08 19:05:14 UTC  

I may be the case but for roll20 and streams WOTC could take them down

2018-11-08 19:05:41 UTC  

Roll20 is already compromised

2018-11-08 19:05:49 UTC  

when they do that word will get out and people will start leaving

2018-11-08 19:05:50 UTC  

Who don't follow the "diversity" rule

2018-11-08 19:05:52 UTC  

All you need to run DnD is a roller and chat

2018-11-08 19:06:10 UTC  

Because what dnd nerds hate more than anything is to have their games interrupted after theyve begun

2018-11-08 19:07:27 UTC  

If they start going after people who say "i was just following rule 0" theyll sound like they're targeting all homebrew games

2018-11-08 19:08:34 UTC  

That's the thing though, they can't even "go after" them

2018-11-08 19:08:44 UTC  

Push comes to shove you take notes and migrate

2018-11-08 19:09:13 UTC  

Right, they cant be shut down completely

2018-11-08 19:09:35 UTC  

Hell you could run DND via discord

2018-11-08 19:09:47 UTC  

Basically you'll look like a spaz for the grand prize of slightly inconveniencing someone

2018-11-08 19:09:51 UTC  

That's what they said about Alex Jones

2018-11-08 19:09:59 UTC  

Yup, people already do it. There's roller bots

2018-11-08 19:10:14 UTC  

Skype, Discord, Rollz, fucking irc

2018-11-08 19:10:24 UTC  

Alex Jones has a show and needs an audience

2018-11-08 19:10:53 UTC  

You can't destroy infrastructure for 2-10 people who just need a chat function and a randomizer

2018-11-08 19:12:13 UTC  

Which makes tabletop the perfect place to store these sorts of people
