This was my original point at the start of this, Most folks opinions won't change and if they are bigots, it better their hate and diatribe is silenced. You must have zero-tolerance to bigotry, challenge it and shut it down where you come across it. This was not happening at EGG, hence the...

I think this encapsulates my point in regards inclusion vs exclusion. There have been multiple very long conversations that have suggested you may be viewing the EGG situation from a different greenhouse. You stated where you read/see bigotry, you attempt to educate (in a few paragraphs), yet...

Maybe just promote the Will Wheaton Rules.

I have read through your article, it is interesting for sure here is something of a slight counterpoint (I appreciate not 100% contextual, but discusses the need for inclusion, and emotional states that foster belonging) Social Inclusion and Exclusion: How Evolution Changes Our Relational and...

As you are what seems to be unofficial spokesperson for EGG here, I think it is still within the remit of the subject title. I understand the role of education to try and help some folk perceive differently, in some ways it's laudable. The problem I feel though is that it is unlikely to...

I usually start at combat. Not saying all my players are murder-hobos, but in most sessions there is a chance of combat, so it needs to be fun in the context of the system and the characters. Which brings me to the second part, character generation. Creating the right character (in context of...

I think it is right and judicious to call out bigotry and all forms of prejudices that people post in community spaces - especially when associated with your products (rightly or wrongly). Being accepting is one thing, and I get the need to engage with all types of people, but to be honest...

When folk say tactical, they can sometimes mean crunch. The detail in what/how a player "activates" his character in a combat situation. What moves, can he get cover, is there flank options, can they use the trappings in a room, a table, chair, chandelier, barrel to their advantage. Can they...

A really interesting read. There does seem to be more unpleasantries in the TTRPG business than in years past. Perhaps it was always like this, and just under-reported. There is also some poor management decisions to have 30+ staff with a $1.5m pot to play with, I mean that barely covers a...
