This rift reminds me for all I tried to do with running games here and there to give folks a place to play where they enjoyed it the same way I did, I ended up with zero friends in the community.
I agreed to help at MSB a bit after the fallout, out of respect to Gany, shit kept happening both places. Neither ‘side’ is right as they want to think they are, its more two distinct echo chambers at this point.
Its my calling to bow out of Mu’ing completely at this point and wish everyone the best of luck on both sides, I did consider folks on both sides as friends even if they didn’t realize it. I guess horrible people skills and communication. I changed my password there, just felt like giving a short good-bye somewhere and signed up here briefly.
Dumnagul on Ares/Lotherio otherwise.

@Dumnagul I played on at least one of your games, I think. I remember you as a very kind admin that was understanding and patient with stuff I didn’t understand and who took a complaint I had very seriously. I wish you well out there in the greater world.
-
@Dumnagul bye forever I guess
-
I’ll miss you. Take care in that great world out there.

Y’all still in the shallow end of the World of Darkness squick pool. Someone drag out some of that Black Dog Game Factory shit.
hello fellow old person
I never suspected mentioning the books with the pentex frat brothers would be the thing that dated me.
-
@Dumnagul I wouldn’t say you ended up with zero friends. I enjoyed my time on Calaveras and enjoyed playing with you elsewhere. Sorry to see you go, as I think there’s a lot of room in the hobby for the places you make.
Good luck out there.
-
@bear_necessities This is true. And we became friends on Calaveras! Calaveras is how I found @KarmaBum in the wild again. I enjoyed @Dumnagul’s ability to spin up a full game’s worth of rooms faster than I could even imagine a room’s outline.

I am late to the party because naps, and I think I must have missed something someone said somewhere but…
Please do not doubt someone who claims they have been abused. Not even if you profoundly dislike them. Not even if they engage in shitty behavior themselves after the fact.
NGL, I got way too drawn into Ghost’s personal life and resulting well-being about a decade ago, but it was not in the Regina George “OMG, why are you so obsessed with me?!” kind of way that Dropkick tried to portray it as later. It was in the “As extremely unlikely as it is to be accepted, I feel like I need to (with my partner’s knowledge and agreement) at least offer to put this person up in my spare bedroom because they have repeatedly expressed to me that they feel unsafe in their own home” kind of way.
I’m not going to go into more than that because it’s absolutely not my story to share, and I’m not going to claim that it justifies terrible behavior on his part because it absolutely does not. Believe me, even after confirming there was no bad blood between us – at least not about that and the dRaMa!!11!one!elevn!!! that resulted – there have been several times since then that I’ve wanted to sock the dude in the mouth.
But, like… don’t, guys. Just don’t. Not cool, and A+ to the folks who said they aren’t going to do that.

Undead Menses is hands down the best vamp merit ever. Who cares about blush of life!!
Please tell me someone has been turned into a ghoul after giving oral sex.

Only in those who haven’t received the HPV vaccine.

That actually comes up in at least one published White Wolf book, though at this point I no longer remember which. I’ll tag @insomniac and maybe he’ll reply after his TT session is over.
ETA: I am going to laugh so hard if his inaugural post on BMD is like, “Yeah, so the VtM book with the jizz-blood ghouling is…”
-
@Jumpscare its WoD. So yeah and not even using an awesome merit like that.
-
@Aria this is why I lol every time when some one is like “omg why would anyone think VtR or VtM is full of sex, that’s just players being weird! Why are people always wanting to do weird sex stuff and incest and all that! Play the game!” That’s how I know they don’t read the side stories in the books.
-
@Aria I was going to ask you too if you think vampires bong down, but clearly you already answered that question.
-
In original WoD, it was like: Vampires don’t do sex because A) The Kiss is better, B) The kiss is better, and C) Sex is for living things and other vamps will mock you for doing it.
Then they realized that living people like sex, and sex sells, so it’s changed to, ‘Some vampires do it for pleasure or hunting, but the Kiss is still better’.
Heh.
-
Why are people always wanting to do weird sex stuff
In my experience, the answer to that is just straight up, old-fashioned:
people
But also, I completely understand the need to ask:
Why are people
Just why. WHY?
But there is a long list of reasons and experiences that have resulted in me having a much higher tolerance for “weird sex stuff” than most people. As long as everyone involved is enthusiastically consenting, I will probably just find it hilarious more than anything else.
Humans as a species are just dumb, hairless little monkeys with the capacity for great art and revolutionary empathy and shocking cruelty and really weird kinks and adorable perversions. What can you do?

omg it’s the vampire sex debate discussion happening right before us!

With how often vampires are used as metaphors for queerness and/or STIs, it feels silly and slightly insecure to say vampires don’t bone down. Like, that decision feels very rooted in a sense of “Um, we’re too mature and adult to be horny. That’s kid stuff and we’re very serious grownups.”
Plus your game has failed if you let me play a vampire but discourage me from saying “So then I said to my girlfriend, ‘See you next month!’”
