Real RPGs, none of that new fangled computer bullshit

Why so touchy about this Brain?

Why so touchy about this Brain?

I don't see how I'm touchy. If I were to write a Conan RPG where I consistently try to make things Howardian I would probably distance myself from Conan's racism by a short paragraph, to not leave myself open to charges of ignoring or trivializing racism. Like I said I don't necessarily think their decision to duck completely was wrong (out of sight, out of mind), but since they bothered to write something concerning possible sexism in the stories the absence of a similar note on racism was put into relief.

It's a lot like kissing your sister:  sure, she's got a great rack and an ass that won't quit, but it just doesn't feel right.

Don't resist progress.

My old gang is spread out now - we use Google+ to play.  The main game with Scott and about 4-5 people is at his house, Jay lives in Austin and I live in Santa Cruz.  We link up with video and play.  Sure, we can't share the cheetos, but it is better than being a bitter old man on the internet.

It has to a certain extent: Plenty of people play via Skype, Google Hangouts, roll20.net, Fantasy Grounds et. al.

Yeah, I did some Skype D&D with my regular playing group in Barcelona back when I lived in the US. That said, it didn't really catch on and we ended up abandoning it.
