Hello everyone, and forgive me if I've post this in an inappropriate forum. Also forgive me as this may be a little long winded.
I'm a long time gamer who enjoys traditional style RPGs (D&D, Traveller, BRP, SW, etc.) I have been trying for years to find an online community to discuss games and geek related material, but I've not been able to do so for reasons I will explain below.
I've tried on two separate occasions to make RPG.net the home of my expression. However, both times I was unfairly reprimanded by their staff. The first time was because I suggested that publishers were using crowd funding in a manner that it was not designed for. I suggested that if someone wanted to publish an RPG, that they should write the damn thing first (or have substantial work done) before asking the community for money. I was told that this was a personal attack because they thought I suggested that a writer's time was not worth my money. I was given a formal warning. I was so pissed I left the site.
After that I spent some time on the WoTC and EN world forums but they are, obviously, rather narrowly focused. When I tired of those I decided to try RPG.net again only to receive yet another "punishment" from moderators. This time somebody posted a question about how to get the narrative fiddly bits of The Strix Chronicle to work. I replied that I thought it really didn't work that well and encouraged the poster to try the less "high brow" system from The Masquerade instead. This opinion, apparently, was an offensive attack on Onyx Path and also "thread crapping."
I was quite pissed by then and saw a topic ban on RPG.net on some characters called theRPGpundit and Zak S. Now, I don't really know who these people are (other than that they are not welcome on RPG.net) but I thought the site of one of those people might be a place for me to vent about how pissed I am at RPG.net.
Anyway, thank you for listening to my rant and I hope this is a community that will suit my needs.
