Then why doesn’t WOTC stop making money off DnD? Reminds me of the morons who adapt Lovecraft and make money off his name while whining about his beliefs
I mean, it makes sense. 99.9% of them don't want to wargame. If you hire them or let them in, they'll just demand you change the space to suit them. The simps in the group will be powerless against them and always vote for maximum cringe. The .1% girl that actually likes tabletop battles and not endless preening or laboring over every character choice...
WHO the fuck are you kidding! You're gonna pick a fucking druid no matter how much time you.. Sorry sorry. Every chick since 3.5 that I've had join one of my gaming groups picks a druid and every turn is a fucking marathon of choosing what they and their animal companion do. Why don't you think about what you are going to do before your turn rolls around? Why do you make every die roll fucking soul-wilting torture! Just play the fucking game! AHaHRrhrhghghhh
I've only had one decent girl in my gaming group over the years. The DM was such a simp that it stopped being a party of adventurers, and just a game about wish-fulfillment for the druid. 3 of us just stopped showing up. He got her a job at his company, then she ended up marrying one of his team leads.
Yeah it would be like a man showing up to an astrology meeting and trying to turn it into celestial game of thrones type shit. Before you know it the astrology thots would be complaining on tiktok about MEN invading WOMEN'S spaces and blah blah blah.
Unless it was troons doing this shit, which come to think of it opens up a trolling goldmine...
Your Grace, the House of Aquarius has declared open war on you. Our allies of House Taurus and House Scorpio have been summoned, and House Virgo has promised 2000 men and 1000 horses if you will consent to letting them hunt in the Capricorn border forests during the harvest months.
Why do you make every die roll fucking soul-wilting torture
Because they think of die rolls on how it's going to be perceived by others rather then a mathematic average that the game was built upon. It's kind of a variation of main character syndrome but to lesser extent.
have one girl in my groups. she plays favoured soul in 3.5 and oracle in pf. Her FS is a halfling though (and worships Yondalla), so there is that bit of "annoying char" factored in, but it's fine. Had way worse (male) players in my groups.
Doesn't hold up combat & knows her spells.
Is the gf of one of the players though (though she brought him into the group initially) and they've been together for 15+ years.
"I thought perhaps these folks were right and considered adding women in the ‘Raping and Pillaging[’] section, in the ‘Whores and Tavern Wenches’ chapter, the special magical part dealing with ‘Hags and Crones’..."
"and thought perhaps of adding an appendix on ‘Medieval Harems, Slave Girls, and Going Viking’. Damn right I am sexist. It doesn’t matter to me if women get paid as much as men, get jobs traditionally male, and shower in the men’s locker room."
And an experience Gygax recalls which has uncanny parallels to what's going on today:
"They can jolly well stay away from wargaming in droves for all I care. I’ve seen many a good wargame and wargamer spoiled thanks to the fair sex. I’ll detail that if anyone wishes.” [emphasis mine]
That's what they always do, take a normie milquetoast position and make it scary far right. Helps keep people on the reservation and pushes the Overton window. Meanwhile actual based or "extreme" voices are completely marginalized and ignored so nobody even thinks to emulate them.
Yeah. My big issue is they never even bothered to contact Kurtz for this all, and he clearly is upset about it too. He was Gygax's protege in many ways.

Because friend/enemy, it's morally acceptable to steal the creations of enemies in their value-system.
My only complaint is that Lovecraft only had one cat

Yeah I'd watch that for a bit.

You're forgetting the guys who want to play act every choice and character for long minutes while the entire group just wants to move on.

Best parts IMO:

There really is nothing new under the sun.
and history has proven him right.
Archive of a blog post with same name written by the same human if you want more "heckin do better
Senatorfellow diverse, progressive gamers!"Oddly enough he was super inclusive of women, even had a section in rules book on "pronouns".
Kuntz/Robilar is the last living founding member, he's speaking out on the real story though and he's pretty based.

That is a strange quote. What did equal pay had to do with women in wargaming?
This was back when D&D didn't suck ass, glad I dropped everything WOTC and went whole into Onyx Path with Exalted and the world of darkness.
"We must attempt to character assassinate Gygax in order to preserve his legacy" might be the most smooth brained take I've ever heard.
Or we could run with it and flip the tables. Use his abject sexism as justification to drive out the women and simps.
