What's up with the two Age of Heroes games?

if you’re trying to promote and defend your game smarmy condescension is a really interesting choice

@Meg Well that’s me told, off to a nunnery I guess.
You’re under a misapprehension. I’m here to satisfy my own curiosity about what makes a certain section of this hobby tick. I’m not trying to defend anyone who could come here and defend themselves if they thought it was worth the effort, I said that right at the start. I literally keep calling Vorpal Furry Satan made MU*nifest after all. Because it makes me laugh.

So really, the takeaway from this is that the two headwizzes are Chaucer and a Chaucer apologist. This is going to go exactly the same as L&L.

To those of us mostly in the WOD/COFD sphere, this is kind of like when Sundancer told us Polk wasn’t really that bad.

Maybe one day we’ll have a superhero game not run by abusers.
Damn, why am I catching strays over here?
In Occam I trust.

I know of one in the works, but I honestly think there is something about the genre. I largely agree with Alan Moore’s perspective on it.
Double post but what? This largely implies that World of Darkness games or Star Wars games or Lords and Ladies games don’t share the same issues and, uh, lmao.
In Occam I trust.

dredging up of ancient dramas over who slighted who in a game I probably never heard of a decade or more ago
I know Im late to the party, but…

Yeah, the issues are tied to the hobby and not a specific genre. There might be some validity to the concept that some genres attract more of them than others, but I would argue it’s probably not a giant gap.

It’s the same with “man, WoD players” or “man, comic book players”. The venn diagram of MUers who play WoD, Sci-Fi, Horror, Comic Books… might not be a circle, but the overlap is so much larger than anyone really seems to think.

Pretty sure in any hobby, any undertaking done by humans on this planet, if there is a way for a person to have even imaginary authority and/or influence over other humans, there is going to be an issue with sex pests.
let it be a challenge to you

I mean, yeah. I don’t get this whole “man, that one genre, those people, so bad!” And it’s almost always someone who plays in that genre, too; like, you counting yourself, or are you the pristine exception, my dude? lmao

First time?
Honestly, sort of
I’ve certainly seen the phenomenon plenty, and it’s hardly unique to this hobby. I have yet to figure out if it’s particularly prevalent here or just the small size of the hobby making it more visible. -
@sao That doesn’t explain the dedicated band of sex pest players though. I suspect it’s more a combination of anonymity and fantasy.
-
I will say that one thing I’ve noticed is that the sex pests currently running rampant due to the lack of Standards and Practices on most of these games have the exact same MO as the sex pests from the superhero games of 20 years ago… the exact same. Brave and the Bold, way back in the when, implemented a policy that a character’s generally accepted canon sexuality couldn’t be overtly changed unless the funny pages did it first, for the express purpose of being able to push them out. If the mists of memory part correctly for me.
So much so it lends weight in my head to my belief that these are in fact the same people, who’ve spent two decades waiting for a superhero game to flick its porch light on so they can run in and mob the place before anyone can catch their proverbial breath.
I may, however, be wrong. Faux-lesbians with breastesses the size and shape of watermelons and nipples like rifle-barrels are probably just as popular as they ever were.
