The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Most subreddita require names and usernames to be edited out. Though tbh badphilosophy doesnt really care about doxxing/brigading. I tried ti fing their rules, but i can't make sense of the subreddit.

Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!

If you haven't yet read them, may I point you towards the Original Series and the Constitution? They're pretty much the only required reading around these parts. Another useful resource you might use is invite to our Discord channel (where the Constitution does still apply).

(Unfortunately, I buy all my D&D books as hardbound from Amazon, so I'm not much help here.)

Hope you stick around for a while!

Hi people! Longtime lurker here, decided to introduce myself!
Currently reading: Cosmere, anything Forgotten realms.

Queetion: Does anone here kniw a legal source for cheap pdf of Forgotten Realms sourcebooks? Dm's guild doesn't have some of the ones I'm looking for (TSR). Right now i've been relying on piracy, which is rather unethical, as i want to contribute money so wizards creates more FR product but don't want to have to deal with shipping and transport for physical gamebooks.

I can't help but see this as Matt trying to be, as Ix said, friendly and inclusive. It doesn't strike me as a form of intended aggression or an attempt to intimidate.

In fact, I'll admit that all I see Matt trying to do is include most of the women in the PPC. The fact that he tried to list most of them by name is impressive to me, and indicative of someone who just wants to show his appreciation of people who made a difference. In going over his mental list of the organization, he remembered you, and wanted to include you.

I know this probably dredges up a lot of painful memories for you, but maybe take a step back and look at this for what it really seems to be? I.E., someone who feels bad that they drove away a friend and is trying to make some small measure of reparation in the form of kindness?

Yes, I was made aware of that after the fact. I have no explanation as to why I was certain you were a woman. It wasn't the username, that's what I'm sure of. Regardless, I would like to apologize for that.

I'm all about being friendly and inclusive, but if July has told Matt multiple times not to talk to her, adding her name to a list* in the one space she can't block him from is at the very least a micro aggression, and more than that it's a nice little reminder that she can't block him here.

Saying "by the way, this person harassed me and I perceive this post as a continuation of that behavior" is not causing trouble. Harassing someone is.






*btw, which my name also shouldn't be on, as I am very much not a woman

July had to block Matt on Discord, Hangouts and other such things after he didn't stop talking to her despite being told not to, so I can understand why she's upset; and frankly there's no good way of saying "don't talk to me ever". I think that being snarky about this is uncalled for.

Pretty original, huh?

But whatever.
I formally apologise to whomever was offended by what I said.

It's... er... not exactly what I'd normally go for, but it was good. (No idea what the song was/is though, so that may have been part of it).

I have enough people now, but maybe next time. Thanks!

I'm gonna let Maxewell have this one, though, since he's so enthusiastic about it. I had another person volunteer off-Board, so I have enough now. Maybe next time? I'm planning to go back to Skyrim for other stories with my DB. {= )

I'll just need your e-mail address so I can invite you to the Gdoc. Or, if you prefer to work offline, I can send you the file, too. (.odt or .doc?)

Welcome, by the way!

So, er, first off, I figure, we ought to not dogpile. Um. I feel like dogpiling is probably not a good idea, and we've done that a couple times, so, how about not dogpiling. Let's not go and do that.

And second off, was this post really necessary?
You have grievances (I apologise if this sounds like I'm reducing your situation or mocking you or any some such,) and such, fine. You don't have to like people, especially if something or other that was largely out of your control has gone down between you and said people.
But did they really need to get dragged out, here? Understand that what you have done here, is you have changed the entire subject from celebrating women in the PPC, to a personal drama between you and Matt. It's not constructive or helpful or fun and, frankly, it's a very good way to turn something totally innocent (like, say, a post celebrating women,) into something very much not innocent (like, say, a virtual slugfest,) for reasons which are esoteric at best. I mean, really, the central possible conclusion I can see coming from this post is some sort of argument.

It's unnecessary, is what it is. It helps nobody, certainly not you.

However my Masters degree is taking up a large chunk of my life at the moment, so I don't know how much free time I'd be able to dedicate to it.

What do you call the badfic equivalent of a musical?

What even is this... This ruined the game for me.

This is something I need in my life. I wrote an analytical essay on Skyrim fairly recently. And TES:V is one of my favorite games, ever. I would love to read it.

Though I personally never played Dragonborn, I have thoroughly played through the rest of Skyrim and am fairly familiar with TES at large.

As some of you know, I was brutally mauled by plotbunnies a few weeks ago and have been on something of a Skyrim writing binge (alternative links). Well, the story that started it all is done at about 16,000 words (~30 pages), and I would like to make sure it doesn't suck before putting it out to the Internet at large. I haven't written anything with a plot that wasn't PPC-related in a long time, so I am feeling a tad insecure. ^_^;

My ideal beta would be fairly familiar with TES lore, since I'm not, and though I've done a fair bit of research, there's always a chance that I missed something relevant. Failing that, the story takes place on Solstheim after the main quest of the Dragonborn expansion, so familiarity with all that would be helpful. Failing that, if you don't mind reading a fic in a setting you don't know, I would be interested to know how approachable the story is to someone who hasn't played the games. I don't want to tediously tell fans what they already know, but I also don't want to leave out the kind of descriptive detail that anyone should expect from a good adventure story. {= )

I'm not looking for SPaG checks (though that's always good) so much as feedback about flow, pacing, theme, characterization, fight choreography, etc.: what works, what doesn't, why, and how it could be better.

There are spoilers for the Dragonborn main quest and the side quests "Filial Bonds" and "Retaking Thirsk"; also the Skyrim Companions questline. Oh, and the conclusion of the main quest, but it's not like y'all don't know the PC wins in the end, right?

If you didn't... um... sorry? >.>;

CONSPURASY. *dons conspurasy hat*

In all seriousness, this story is still lovely. I cannot overstate how happy being your Beta makes me.
