Oh come now, do you mean to imply that in all of the electronic games medium, you can't find a single example of a game that isn't sexist?

She is doing an educational series on the usage, history and nature of certain sexist tropes within video games. Of which we have only seen the introductory video of one series focusing on one such trope.

If I were teaching a class on, say, the history of Promethian figures in science fiction literature, I wouldn't include books that didn't include such figures.

Would you include movies of that type?
Perhaps a movie that has the name in its title?
As it's title, perchance?

Joking aside, oh wow this thing. Uhh... I'll stay away from this.

I think elf should stay, but I don't care who is controlling Corvus if elf quits, I JUST WANT THIS GAME TO GET MOVING!

It would be nice.  Are we waiting for something?  I think someone said Digital Hellhound hasn't posted yet.  Anyone want to pester him with a PM letting him know?

He has a fever or something right now, which accounts for it.

So...I'm thinking due to this, everyone is going to send Digital Hellhound a PM, just to make sure.

Me gusta.

I feel like leaving this game if it ever comes back on to be honest.

I don't think I can handle the sheer insanity of it, nor the various power plays anymore.

Oh no. No no no. Too much is hanging on you for now to drop out. Too much. Just hang in there for a little while longer; everything is on the prepice of change.

So I've decided to get in on the GM scene. Only one problem exists - I'm too lazy to come up with a viable system for stuff! Wat do? Simple! Minimalist RTD! Wait, those are usually (excepting YAFB) small, short-lived, and not very descriptive! So I, in my infinite amazingness, came up with a solution to this conundrum:

STORY RTD!
This amazing system is a hybrid of traditional and minimalist games, not quite either but still similar:
-Limited number of players, each player gets status tracked, have backstory (optional)
-Minimalist rolling, because I'm lazy
-Most importantly, instead of the usual (5) YOU WIN, this RTD will have extensive paragraphs and stuff outlining every action, making it seem like they're not lazy as hell in execution!
-The GM will attempt to weave the threads of insanity into something coherent
-Players decide the initial setting

How does this sound for people? I'd probably be letting 6 people in at first, so this thing WILL have a waitlist, but characters can be preserved, ie you may die, but the character can come back fine.

In the interest of giving me some amusement and ideas, I'm rereading You At Final Boss.
What the fuck was I on.

My post count is OVER 9000 a lot.

...Anything else to discuss while we wait?
