Fuck off, asshole Eat shit you disengenous pile of sick. I'll tell you when I'm arguing in bad faith. Apparently, you won't, dipshit. I'm glad there's pushback against this barbaric practice, I just wish there was more. And you're undermining both positions by making a false equivalence. Stealing a...

So what's your stance on female genital mutilation? Motherfuck, motherfuck, goddamit, motherfuck , I was hoping we could have a thread where someone mentioned circumcision without having someone bring up this bullshit comparison, but we can't, so here goes. Female genital mutilation is a billion ti...

Is Dutch not considered "white"? Or in his language, "white" = "white American" ? "White" was a lot more narrow back in the day. Germans, dutch, irish, scandinavians, slavs, wouldn't be considered white a hundred years ago. Considering everyone in Europe was ...

It’s the stuff on reading the Bible in Aramaic that I feel is a window into a big house full of crazy. Why would reading the Pentateuch in Aramaic change people’s opinion on Jesus’s Jewishness? Unless there is a group of racists using that to try and make American evangelicals anti-semites. I could...

Grek wrote:To be honest, I read the 'self-mutilation' thing as anti-trans rather than anti-circumcision, given that it came after he claimed to be anti-abortion and anti-gay.

I agree with this. Fundies don't generally care about circumcision.

For some reason, I'm thinking that part of the reasoning for those christian quacks was to reduce masturbation? Am I remembering/reasoning right? I mean... obviously it doesn't work, but then, neither do graham crackers or corn flakes reduce masturbation, so. It was argued as a hygiene issue -- it ...

This is straight-up out-and-out white supremacy, seasoned with heresy and general whites-only anti-Americanism. I feel there are a lot of dog whistles in the section on anti-semitism that I’m missing. I can point out a few. Tags in. I Have Traditional Christian values. Poor people can and should die...

There's a greater issue here in that while there's a point to unifying the sourcebooks from a player perspective, in that this allows players to use different splats together and explore the relationships between the characters therein, there's no point to this from White Wolf's perspective. WW care...

It's been a long time since I read DtF but iirc not only was there not even a passing attempt to make it flow with any previous WW product, it was an aggresive attack on everything that came before. Demons were the go-to "real evil" option of WoD, a subgenre where the PCs are "the goo...

Honestly, I'm not sure what the pitch meeting for this book was like. GURPS Cyberpunk is absolutely insufficient for realizing a cyberpunk setting in GURPS. This. Back inna day, I strongly disliked CyberWorld and ChthulhuPunk both which shocked me because both of those things are in my wheelhouse. ...

you can and will create the entirety of your Outback Odyssey by your own hand. Which is great, good job, but then you gotta ask: what did I get this book for? Are you new to GURPS? Are you? The first step is always "create the game." And the GURPS book you bought gives you the tools to do...

Let's be real here: this is the authors just writing off Australia as Mad Max Land. Which most people would see as a different campaign, needing different books. It meant that they had less to write, readers had less to digest, and they had the option to write an expansion book later. Except, iirc,...

To this day, I'm irritated by the completely undeveloped "Australia is dead!" non-hook. The presentation was so sparse as to make the phenomenon useless from a GM-perspective, and if it were truly interesting, a writer would be obligated put additional information about running an adventur...

Mage: the Ascension could get homework done with a Matter 2 effect combined with Time 2 and Correspondence 3. That's. . . flyswatting with an a-bomb, isn't it? Mind 2 could telepathically steal the answers and Corr 1 could get you the location of the answers, though Forces 2 or Matter 2 would still...

GURPS basic magic system allows you to animate writing tools for copying and dictation. Almost any kitchen sink setting allows for telepathy and clairvoyance for information gathering; outside of that, the OP question is simply too broad. If doing homework involves computations and analysis then sum...
