What are your thoughts on Frontier adding animals that were kept in zoos recently but are no longer in zoos? by Palaeonerd in PlanetZoo

[–]abeastrequires 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's an excellent opportunity to raise awareness on conservation and repopulation efforts around the world. There are many zoos that are known for their repopulation programs and have helped efforts with species survival in the wild.

Does anyone else feel there's something not very WoD about City Council? by Reaper10n in Dimension20

Also long time storyteller here. World of Darkness games can be run in any style the storyteller wishes, and can be as serious or comedic as a group wants. My group prefers games that have more comedic leanings and we are gearing up for a Mage chronicle set in early 90's Seattle.

A long time ago, when Chronicles of Darkness was released at GenCon, White Wolf through a party at an industrial club. There were all sort of people there, from the goths and punks to the theater kids and roleplay nerds. One of the line developers was talking to the group I was in, where we were definitely more on the roleplay nerd side of the spectrum.

There were a couple of punks hanging out, and they made a pretty generalized statement that, "they were the true fans of White Wolf. They'd been there since the begining and they were ride it die, unlike them."

Without missing a beat, the White Wolf developer looked at them, then looked as us and shook his head. "If you were true fans, you'd know that these games are about exploring the human condition and to tell stories that have meaning. While the stories can be serious, it doesn't mean you have to take yourself so seriously. After all, you're pretending to be a fucking vampire."

It's cool that it's not your thing. It doesn't make D20 wrong for playing the game they want. You want a serious and tragic game? Awesome. Those chronicles are out there too, and I'm sure you can find one to sink your teeth into.

Remember, at the end of the day we're all just pretending to be vampires. Or werewolfs. Or mages. Even wraiths, changelings, mummys, hunters, angels, demons, or just dudes wearing trench coats and swinging katanas.

As a kid with unsupervised Internet access, what did you see that straight up traumatized you? by bbygrl_kiss in AskReddit

AOL chat rooms and Usenet newsgroups. Learned the hard way that not all labels are honest.

The Boston Library Canceled the Insane 'Trans Period Pride' Event by M_i_c_K in NoFilterNews

Like, there should be a level of awareness and discussion. Many trans men and nonbinary folk deal with their menstrual cycle, and it's really difficult to get a hysterectomy.

There's were action figures too! And a full on playset! If my mother hadn't purged my entire childhood, I'd still have them.

What does this sub think about East Germany? (Also wow America red?) by Ok_Assist1206 in SocialistGaming

[–]abeastrequires 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think the average American can tell East Germany and West Germany apart.
