The Gaming Den

fbmf, if you choose to shutter the forum, can you please make a backup available for download from your Google Drive or MegaUpload or suchlike? I don't know how much more valuable content the community is going to produce going forward, but there is certainly a huge amount of valuable material here...

Once you get to the point where you're saying that the other side is so awful that they should die, there is no moving forward, no backing down, no sharing a forum. <SNIP> Even if those topics are life and death issues for the people posting, the discussion doesn't have to involve anyone accusing a...

I'm sad about the non-political MPSIMS threads that are getting caught up in this. The "It's Personal" thread is a great part of the community and the only place certain users post anymore. It's probably the most positive thread on the site, with everyone being supportive of people they'v...

IMO, we need a "no politics, period" rule, at least for now. And zero tolerance on sneaking in politics in other subjects. Not feasible to enforce with the amount of time/energy I have to moderate these days. I think it needs more specific wording - "no talking about current politici...

And if you wish to send me off with insults and shaken fists, that is your right.

No, it isn't. Thread locked.

I'll miss you, Frank.

I take full responsibility for that one, and I stand by my decision.

The "president" of bolivia who got zero votes and heads the third largest party in bolivia gave the military a global pardon for all past and future murders needed to stop protests and the new communication minister has a list of seditious newspapers that will be shut down. Glorious victo...

Can someone enlighten me on PDP? My students have referenced him in the past, so I assumed it had something to do with gaming. What is his alt-right connection?

Going forward please refrain from posting links to/quoting from any threads on other forums (especially RPGSite) even vaguely related to this issue.

Emphasis mine.

Even by the standards of TGDMB this is too far. Get off my lawn, Sacrificial Lamb.

Call of Cthulhu refuses to learn or forget anything and the latest edition would look kind of unprofessional and bad if it came out in 1992. You may have written on this before, but how would either one (or both) of you go about building a Cthulhu Mythos based RPG? (For our purposes, let us presume...

The thing about these mysteries is that their protagonists are, from an objective standpoint, terrible investigators who get along on plot fiat. I've never heard Sherlock Holmes described that way.

Very much agree with this, Bigode. Are you sure you want to do this?

It took a bit, but I've gotten my hands on pretty definitive proof that Guts is Silva. Thanks to those more IT savvy than me that did the heavy lifting.

Get off my lawn, Silva/Guts.

It is based out of Brazil but doesn't match Silva.

[The Great Fence Builder Speaks] Thank you for your patience as I travel during the July 4th week. Now then, for the most part I agree that this issue will sort itself out, but I did make the following change to the EXCLUDE A POSTER rule: If you are asked by the Original Poster to stay out of a thr...

I will lock/delete/whatever discussions about real world "flammable" topics (especially politics, religion, or old feuds) at the first sign of tempers flaring. We should probably edit this blatant lie out. [The Great Fence Builder Speaks] The rule stays. My tolerance for "flammable&q...

For what it's worth, WWE forced his hand on that one. Maybe he was pre-emptive in signing up for it before checking with Vince to see if it's okay to visit a place and say hello to people, but I'd say most of the blame there lies with McMahon. (As with most things) I saw that when I researched it. ...

I was going to go to Starrcast II to meet/greet the Undertaker. He canceled.

They say never meet your heroes. Guess I won't.

I wish I could say Game of Thrones, S8E1. Instead, I am going to go with "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which I watched afterwards. I'm going to go with "the play of light and shadow as Indy enters the idol chamber" as my moment. But seriously, it was an utter, absolute joy to rewat...
