Welcome to the board!I have been lurking here for several months, learning all your secrets and I like the vibe so now you are stuck with me!
I mentioned this over in the welcome thread, but I haven't been an RPG forum regular in about a decade.
Have been slowly getting back engaged in the broader indie TTRPG community over the past few months and was wildly turned off by the invective, demagoguery, and histrionics I was seeing from either end of the spectrum on "TBP" and theRPGsite. Not my scene, honestly.
Was pointed to the Pub over on Twitter by Picaroon Jack.
Enjoying the vibe so far!
I just love the feeling of not walking on eggshells. Seriously, when did liking an author or game or film become such an exercise in navigating other peoples opinions?????
We have posters who enjoy low temperature vomit related activities. This post is a group attack on those users! Consider this a...a...hang on a minute! Some of our posters also enjoy shitting! Shitpost is offensive to...to...seriously Nobby, you are the worst!!
I'd say that's a fortuitous order of events, then.Quite a few people share that sentiment - as I understand The Pub largely exists as its founders were tired of the bullshit on certain other forums.
I came the other way around - I saw The Pub first before I visited either of those .. others. When I did I was not impressed.
You've been here even longer than me. Being too busy actually playing games is the best possible reason to not be posting much on RPG forum. Congrats on having an SO that games as well.I was one of the first to join here. Not been as active as I should, mainly because I've been either focusing on school or actually playing RPG's with my IRL friends and significant other as well.
These are both reasons why you're quite right to not be as active.I was one of the first to join here. Not been as active as I should, mainly because I've been either focusing on school or actually playing RPG's with my IRL friends and significant other as well.
This ought to be the Vestibule of Hell, full of mists and hornets for those who refused to choose between Good and Evil. But looking around I have to say that on most days it seems more like the First Circle: Limbo, where the guiltless damned are "tortured" with each other's company. This is what we get for lacking faith in something greater than rational minds can conceive.(Also if this is Hell, it's a much nicer neighborhood than I expected.)
And also practicing with your secret punk band.I was one of the first to join here. Not been as active as I should, mainly because I've been either focusing on school or actually playing RPG's with my IRL friends and significant other as well.
I drew the short straw... (Sigh)We’ve had a lot of new members sign up recently. Tell us how you found your way to the Pub.
I was drunk and easy... So here I am. You can't get rid of me now.We’ve had a lot of new members sign up recently. Tell us how you found your way to the Pub.
We really need to get that lock fixed...Actually to be honest, it was an accident I was Googling for something game related (don't recall what now) and stumbled upon the site. Since I was disappointed and disillusioned by those other sites for the usual reasons, and posts here amused me, I moved in.
Excuses excuses.I'm sorry. I just didn't realise ...
I think I can speak for everyone when I sayI'm sorry. I just didn't realise ...
I remember you from theRPGSite. Welcome to the Pub.I heard about this from ENWorld. Recognize a lot of names from the TBP site, but I haven't posted there in 10 years. Was on TheRPGSite for a bit, but clearly not a place for me and hadn't been on there for years either.
The mask fools everyone.I mean, how was I supposed to know Fenris-77 was really Ryan Reynolds's troll account?
I'm playing in one PbP game there, but at this point I really feel like I'm sneaking in and out of the site under cover of darkness.Another refugee from the Purple. I got tired of the weird obsession the mods there have of teasing and mocking the people they punish. I'd spent about a year and a half there and had to drop two PbP games I was in and quite enjoying, and there's a lot of really cool people over there that I'll miss, so it's not something I did on a whim. But I didn't really feel like endorsing Purple's culture of spiteful punching down even implicitly by continuing to participate.

What really bothers me is the way they will misinterpret you, crap on you, and then ban you if you respond. Pure cowardice and bullying.
Oh, that's choice because I think they've also come down on folks for dissing the neurodiverse... And just their general "no discussion about moderation" leaves a bad taste.I don't always agree with the big purple but it's their place and they can do as they like. The part that has truly started me wondering if I want to be banned there is their treatment of the Neuro diverse. I've seen multiple times where they have banned/and punch down folks who come back to them and say "Hey I'm not able to comprehend anything about why I got X. I want to play by your rules but I need some help understanding because I have issues." The response from the mods who constantly demand others "Do the Work" is it's too much work for them to be kind.
