Cats all the way.

Post it again! Of course, if I skipped it because it wasn't worthy, that'll just get you a DOUBLE sad. The internet is FULL OF RISKS.

"Children do not come with instructions manuals and the 'right' way to raise them changes pretty much every year. So just love them and you will do the best you can."

First of all, the way this question is phrased, there's NO WAY I can answer it without a legion of rulesmongers picking it apart like a swarm of starving jackals picking apart the seven-day dead sun-baked carcass of an elephant.

These monkeys are CRAZY monkeys, however, and no amount of training, yelling or stomping of feet will get these monkeys to stop it with their crazy monkey shenanigans.

If a game is actively becoming anti-fun for a player, that player shouldn't be beholden to stay in the game. And GM's are players too.

Sex is okay. Violence is okay. Sexual violence is right out.
1 in 6 women will experience a sexual assault at least once in their lifetimes. Many will suffer multiple assaults. 1 in 30 men will be raped.

Paizo has made it clear that using threats of violence against children is both trite, overdone, and inappropriate. The same should be extended to the very real victims of sexual assault. Especially considering the majority of victims never come forward, and the vast majority never receive justice (only 3% of accused rapists ever spend jail time).

I would never, ever risk putting a victim of such abuse through the horror of reliving such an event, no matter how "realistic" I wanted my "world" to be. And, no, you probably don't know if someone at your table has been victimized by sexual violence. Males, especially, don't report it or even confide in their closest friends.

Add to that the fact that the perpetrators are depicted as thinly disguised regional stereotypes, and, yeah, deeply offended.

If I stop reading an entry before I even finish the name, it's usually because I assumed the last words in the title were "of epic autorejection +4."

Looking for yes-men to rally against the fan bois on the fan bois' home turf is doomed to failure. I will support your freedom to state your opinion. Beyond that, you are on your own.

If we do a swimsuit edition of our iconics, we wouldn't limit the art to the girls.

"My personal tip for any person: don't make blanket statements about what women players tend to like or not. Women really run the gamut--I should say, PLAYERS run the gamut of what they like to do. And with all due respect, 2 people you know does not constitute an adequate sample. (Personally, my favorite enemies are non gendered demons. I doubt this has much to do with my gender.) And telling an unsatisfied woman, "But I did it because I thought you ladies LIKE this stuff" usually results in Very Bad Things regardless of the particular situation it refers to. "

After all, there really is no wrong way of playing Pathfinder.

This is an official response.

The rules are clear.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but expecting someone on staff to give an "official" answer to your rules questions (1) is an unreasonable demand on our time needed to get books finished, and (2) sets a bad precedent that takes power away from the GM because "unless someone at Paizo says it, it's not the rule" becomes the rule.

Paizo forum for when website breaks

The point is that the wallet's emotional impact again hasn't anything to do with the proper price of the product.

We are all adults here; we should aspire to act like it. We shouldn't expect the mods to clean up our comments; they have far more important things to do then continuously fight fires on the messageboards. If you can't reply in a civil and rational manner, then its time for a break from the thread. And if it dawns on you that the person you're GRARing with is completely entrenched and not going to listen to your opinion, then it's perfectly reasonable to walk away and not waste your energy on them. That doesn't mean you've lost; it means you've figured out you're wasting your time trying to slay a windmill.

Most male gamers (and perhaps even most people in general), and thereby most RPG material, seem to have severe difficulties comprehending that women have a sexuality which goes beyond a need for men to like them.
