Me, I'm often disappointed at how people's reading of Sex & Sorcery seems to stop after the Lines & Veils in chapter one, as if that were some kind of amazing revelation. It was only a kindygarden, orienting point for the later stuff.
I mean, it's the only RPG book ever to deal with actual players' gender and gender-content of stories. Where's the dialogue? I have reluctantly concluded that people don't *want* dialogue about it, and prefer to remain with this absurd level of reactive, posturing responses to superficial terms use.
Oh - except for Lisa Provost's posts in Story Games, which were fucking awesome. Lisa, you reading this? You rock!!
This makes EP go "I take credit"
for Lisa's responses. I mean, she's awesome and kewl, and the bestest gamer wife evar, but I'm the dude who was like; Lisa! You've gotta read this shit over at Story Games! And then she did. And then she posted that really cool stuff. Just like I knew she would.
This makes Lisa P go "Holy cow!"
Thanks Ron. When I read that thread, I just -had- to post something. It just screamed out for a woman's reply. Not all breast weilding persons are like that guys. Really, we're not.
This makes JZ go "As far as that goes, Ron"
It was the stuff about gender that sold me on Sex&Sorcery, and by extension, Sorcerer. I just don't have a lot to add.
This makes RE go "Two quick replies"
JZ, I appreciate that greatly.
LP, high five, see you guys later.
