Hey all, rather than make more work for the moderator team, why don't we try the following:

1) Report problematic posts as Heather outlined;
2) Flag.

Hmm

I will gladly do so. Thank you.

Reeeeally gotta want to find something to complain about to come up with that one.
No, it’s just blatantly obvious.

I come from a country that endured 50 years of communism while your parents and grandparents were swimming in riches of capitalism, Westerner.

I see no obvious symbolism.

My parents and grandparents fought communism in the trenches and on the home front (in their union halls and on college campuses). I myself served at the tail end of the Soviet Union. It concerns me that with the fall of the Iron Curtain we didn’t so much destroy Marxism (including Socialism) as we let it infect the West. I would hope that as someone who had the misfortune to live through it, you would be more cognizant of its inroads to our culture.
Yeah sure but will you have to run a GoFundMe to cover your medical bills, because I won't.

I sympathize with your plight for what it’s worth.

I saw the YouTube interview with Jason Tondro and KC Owens and it does seem like good will is there on their part (although Owens being a former employee wouldn’t be directly involved). I do hope this works out for everyone involved. Being represented by a union and having grown up in a union town, all the stereotypes pro and con are true. I do hope both Paizo and it’s employees can navigate those minefields as the process moves forward.

I still think moving out of Its current city to a less expensive area would solve much of the cash flow problem and cost of living problem. What people pay for rent in those areas far exceed what we pay in mortgages elsewhere.

With regard to to your union logo, was the communist symbolism really necessary? Something more akin to the AFL-CIO or the Teamsters logos - but still Pathfinder/Starfinder-like - would have been far more appropriate. Maybe something incorporating the Open Road symbol instead of a tool harkening back to the hammer and sickle.

Request for Paizo:

Dear Paizo,

While I’m disappointed that you won’t be joining us at GenCon this year, I’m also a fan of personal choice. So I’m okay with your “personal” choice as an organization. That said, could you please loosen your rules on running the Starfinder and Pathfinder specials from this year and last, so that we can run them at our local hobby shops without the requirement for multiple tables? (This would also help address the concerns of some of those regarding having too many people together at once.) Asking for myself, my friends, and many fellow hobbyists. Speaking for myself, my computer is a dinosaur, Roll20 is a pain, and I do this hobby to be around people. As an added argument, playing in person allows us to meet people we otherwise wouldn’t have much in common with. In-person gaming allows people of different backgrounds and life paths to come together and have fun and experience the diversity that is one of your company’s core values.

Sincerely,
Jarek
