Congrats, Dale! 🙂

Thanks all! It was fun to host. When I first started posting to SGOYT, I'd finish my post with a clue to my next game, I guess I just love the little mini games of guessing, haha. Also, I posted under a few other names until just a few years ago, which doesn't show up on the SGOYT aggregator.

Very mature RPG played in silence where characters are teenagers (mostly) trying to figure out what happened to their classmate. Played out via "text" message so it can be easier to actually role play

When I saw the prompt "Lanky", my immediate thought was a tall, thin person not carrying a lot of weight. I doubt (up until I read GangOf8's post) I'd have taken that any further. That's what I meant by 'too easy.' Now my eyes have been opened a bit wider. That doesn't mean I'm going to drill down absolutely every meaning of a word in a thesaurus, but it illustrated a different approach.
In fact, I've copied that whole post into my Gaming File for future reference

My only wish is if we could run this VFM like an auction with starting bids, fixed prices, or BIN pricing. From my personal experience, I find the pricing in the PAX Unplugged VFM to be a better deal for buyers and sellers, but it does lead to more comments/messages due to multiple bids for an item. (Maybe this VFM is like a Dutch auction where people gradually drop their prices?) That said, I'm happy with this VFM overall.

Okay ya’ll. Please take any further communication to GM’s. This back and forth isn’t resulting in anything positive or productive.

Thanks!

Some annoying issues I'm seeing in this years vfm. Multiple bids are being deleted without informing me and I have had BIN's cancelled 2 weeks after the purchase date. I understand things happen, but the lack of communication and the flippant responses are really bugging me.
This is the 4th year that I'm participating in the vfm, and the transactions have mostly held up to the gentleman's code. This breakdown I'm seeing this year is a slippery slope. I want to view the vfm as a positive and pleasant experience. But, these repetitive issues are keeping me from it.
Without some sort of penalty, I'm afraid this will continue. I recommend a 1-year ban on folks who delete BIN's and bids without informing the seller first.
What do you guys think?

To be fair, for your Railroad Tiles listing (#3952), I posted a BIN, stating "Can you please confirm if this is the collectors edition with the expansions? If so, I will BIN. If not, please disregard my BIN". I posted that BIN on Feb 7th. I never saw any response. So I sent you a geekmail on Feb 8th. Again no response. In the interim, other people started bidding after my BIN as I awaited the response. I then posted a followup on Feb 14th directly in the comments on the item: "Did we ever get a response from the Barath if this was collectors edition with the expansions?" No response. I then sent another geekmail after that to follow-up, again, asking this question, and again, no response. And with the Con next week, it's kinda important to know what you're going to be purchasing and what you need luggage capacity for. And as of this point in time, closing in on a month after my initial BIN, I still don't know the answer 🙂

Anyway, certainly not trying to start anything. Just wanted to point that out, and while I absolutely agree that deleting BINs is pretty whack, nobody is perfect. I certainly am not hahahahaha 😇

You are certainly trying to start something. So, let's get to it. Railroad tiles & Railroad tiles Collector's edition are two different listings. They even have two distinct images. The base sells for about $40, and the Collector's edition sells for about $120. My listing clearly shows the base edition and the base edition image (not the collector's edition), and I priced mine with a BIN of $35. And you wonder if my listing is for a Collector's edition. There's no confusion here. It's pretty cut and dry.
I listed about 90 games here. You know how many questions I receive a day? I'm a busy person with not a lot of free time, but I do make it a point to respond to every valid inquiry.

Don’t like them; I prefer fantasy races as iconic or mythic archetypes. Introducing mixed lineages like the world was created like Gregor Mendel brings a modern and scientific worldview to a fantasy setting, which leads to a tonal mismatch.

That extends to half-elves but I grudgingly accept them based on precedent.

If Tolkien didn't write Elrond and his family as half elves, I'm pretty sure half-races wouldn't exist in D&D.

Pete (certainly thinks they make things messy)

Yep, count on it. The fact that Tolkien made orcs be elves which were corrupted is presumably the same reason why half-orcs are a thing, as they are genetically an elf.

Hmmm... in my VtM group the Calmarilla (and other secret societies) definitely have huge influence on the media; and the various shenanigans that our PCs are getting pushed into are cleaned up and covered up. Like when two elder vampires were warring over princedom (culminating in vampires assaulting a penthouse that was basically a fortress with miniguns, hordes of ghouls and swat type tactical guys, different vampires on each side, explosions, and so on...) it was basically reported as "There was a gas leak. Thank god no one got hurt." Basically, it's like the 2008 Iron Man scene where they claim it was a training exercise.

It's actually not a bad opening plot hook I've thought about, if I ever GM a Mage or VtM game; and the characters are still relatively moral with good humanity: My idea is that some kind of ghost hunting reality show has actually captured some real supernatural footage and it will be uploaded online soon; and they have a pretty solid chain of evidence. So the PCs are sent by some higher ups to kind of hunt down these people (who are celebrities with pretty public visibility) and interfere with or discredit them. (And do so in a subtle and skillful manner.) And maybe there are other supernaturals involved and they have their own agendas...

And thinking about Geoffrey Burrell's response I think another good plot point could be if the PCs are tasked to silence a (very publicly visible) crusading reporter who is looking into disappearances and their activities; and maybe even has true faith or something. And that can be a very good roleplaying hook to see if the PCs are monsters, tools of their masters, if they will rebel, etc...
