You think you're bitter and twisted? Not even close. What you lack here is any insight into why a woman would want a gorilla rather than chimp in the first pace. Rugged good looks? Nah. Tight arse and full head of hair? Maybe... nah. Rough sex? Ouch, no. The secret desire at the heart of all gorilla-lovers is to CHANGE HIM into a chimp. They don't want a bastard for a lover, but Mr Pantywaist over there presents no sort of a challenge for a healthy woman. Whenever she looks at that neanderthal tee-shirt busting, big-bollococked, gangster-rapping, prey-killing, blood-spattered, heart-breaking, knuckle-dragging, slow-thinking, hair-gelled, car fixing, death-sport-loving loud mouth, she is seeing one of those misty-eyed adverts where macho men changing nappies or play footy with their disgusting snivelling wretches. You don't think those ads are aimed at men, do you? The problem is the exact opposite of your diagnosis: she doesn't want to be dominated, but to dominate. El Wimpo is already under the cosh of every woman he's ever met (or not) from his mum, his sisters and his teachers to Mrs Thatcher, Carol Vordeman and the girl on page three. Where's the challenge in that? Only by by getting General Ursus (the top gorilla from Planet of the Apes, you fool) to paint her toenails can she show the world what a truly awesome Queen Bitch she is. The problem here is that you're merely giving additional reasons why women don't want to go out with chimps. I'd say more, but my wife won't let me... :) Uriah Heap Small One wrote: Hiya! Just got done reading the latest and first I'd like to say: cool! I had a hard time not laughing too loud since I'm at work and for some reason laughter not directly work-related is a no-no (never mind that finding humor in your work also seems to be something the corporate world at large doesn't care for). On the subject of LARPs... God. Sucks your experience was so raw - even if it was one of the funniest things I've read in a while. Particularly the get-away. Me, I'm an RP'er who's been playing in and running games for over 11 years now, many of which are LARPs. Maybe it's the locale or maybe just the people but all of the LARPs I've been involved in, even the ones I didn't write, were nothing like the one you described with the exception of moving about and wearing costumes. Our no-contact rule is strictly enforced. Additionally we have a no-running rule that was put in place (initially, before WW even wrote LARP rules for their WoD games) when an enthusiastic mob of PC 'hunters' went chasing after the 'vampire' and one of them slipped and skinned his knee on a loose brick on the ground. You wouldn't find mosh pits at a LARP here... though you would find Chimps in lace angsting about their hairdo's. ;) My own LARPs tend to involve dramatic situations - I have allowed players to play the bad guys in convention games with high success and no broken.. anythings. LARP isn't for everyone. But the sort of LARP described in this ish's article doesn't sound like a LARP for -anyone-. There are always going to be dunces in LARPs. Seems to attract them. In our early days we had a person jump off a 2nd floor hotel balcony to catch up to another character he needed to browbeat for information. Well you can have all the rules you want, but you can't legislate for stupidity. We had a Malkavian fall into the pool when a friend at the con (not participating in the game) hugged her a bit too happily and scared the locals at the hotel who weren't with the convention when black makeup and lace began oozing through the poolwater. I even had one narrator at a LARP ran downtown during a night-time street fair wandering up and down the closed-off road murmuring to himself about how he could suck dry that passer-by, and that one. And that one too... none of which were in the game. Not to mention he wasn't playing. He was overseeing rules and tests. o_O Anyway. Yeah, there are freaky fen who use LARP as a way to do stupid shit they wouldn't ordinarily do. But these people aren't necessarily the entire gamut of those who LARP -- or the way all LARPs are run. Ciao! Small One -- another female reader who is way behind the Chimp-Gorilla theory Sorry, does that mean you support it? Mark wrote in about his "dark secret":? Well, not so dark really, just a bit sad and pathetic. You see, I've been going out with a girl for six years (an 'LTR' as one of your contributors called it) and gave up gaming almost as soon as I met her. Nothing wrong with that, you might say. We have a fantastic relationship, bought a house together, etc. etc. - all-in-all, a nice, well-adjusted couple. But (there always seems to be a 'but') the secret is that I miss roleplaying. I've developed this bizarre nostalgia for those countless sessions of AD&D, Traveller, Runequest, et al: the witty repartee, the conjuring up of mysterious, far-flung worlds in our collective imagination and so forth. Of course, it's all so much crap. We were as dysfunctional as the next group of gamers. The reality was that I would divide my time between going to the pub and meeting up with a bunch of misfits and social pariahs and the occasional (very occasional) sex when I struck lucky. Of course, if I rationalise it, I know all that. My life is immeasurably better than it was back then. I eat well (my girlfriend is an excellent cook), am a keen fencer (that's waving a pointy thing around with panache) and get sex any time I want. That's the bit that always gets me. Fencing, that's okay. But roleplaying, that's apparently childish. But, nevertheless, I still yearn for those gaming sessions in dingy bedrooms around my mates' houses (btw, I DO know how to use the apostrophe). So, what am I? (Insert witty rejoinder here). Rather than a dysfunctional gamer, I'm a dysfunctional ex-gamer, which is probably even more pathetic than the former. Incidentally, I've discovered that gaming mags (e.g. Dungeon) are considered even more unacceptable than porn mags, especially when your girlfriend then proceeds to tell all your mates down the pub who had no idea that your are (or rather, you were) a roleplayer. Sorry, are you saying that you managed to have her discover both a stash or porn mags AND a stash of roleplaying mags? I mean once is unfortunate, but twice is starting to look careless. Everyone looks at me as if I was incredibly weird but must have got over it now. If only they knew my 'dark little secret'. There again, maybe not. On another note, you really do have a fun magazine. I managed to while away a great deal of time at work browsing through the back issues (and stifling my guffaws sufficiently so that my colleagues didn't think I was too odd). Do you happen to remember, back in the 80s, a roleplaying publication called Concepts? No. I think it had a run of only about five issues (!) before a postal strike put paid to it. Your mag, although far more irreverent, reminds me quite a lot of that one - a well produced, independent magazine (or should that be 'ezine') for roleplayers. I just hope you last a bit longer! Best regards Dr Mark Hall p.s. I DO have credentials to support my appellation. Forget broken bones, heart attacks, brain diseases, etc. If it's the 'relevance of cultural theory to international management with a special focus on the construction industry' that ails you (snappy title, eh?) then I'm yer man. Incidentally, the debate on guns and discussion of societies around the world has been excellent, both professionally and personally (if I say that long enough I might be able to fool myself into thinking that I was actually working when I read through all those back issues). It may seem obvious, but the differing views on guns are rooted in deeply held value systems based, primarily, on upbringing and environment. Each view is valid from its own value perspective but these are conditioned by government and law. Thus, that chappy from Kentucky was perfectly entitled to put his view forward and from his own point of view (what we consider to be a ridiculously lax legal system but what he considers to be a means of enshrining individual rights) perfectly legitimate. As I say, all very interesting. Or course, considering all values as merely relative is fine until you end up in a situation where someone is shooting at you, at which point it starts to look pretty stupid. p.p.s. I worked for a couple of years in Oman (in the Middle East). I may even get around to writing a short piece on that region of the world (and maybe dispel a few myths), although such a piece would be better from a local person. p.p.p.s. Sorry this letter had rambled on a bit, feel free to erase/delete/edit as appropriate. No problem. Jochen wrote about the "old hag and six cats": Well, try as I might, I could not answer your query...Considering the setting (which was Warhammer, wasn't it?), It was. shooting first was certainly the healthy option. I suspect anyway, that figures like this old woman appear to make you feel guilty and a right mean bastard if you torch them and to rip you apart if you don't. A clear no-win situation. When we played the adventure, we just peeked inside the door and, maybe we were already accustomed to seeing weird and disgusting stuff in this very special castle, shut the door and went on to some easier ethical challenges... Guess we're more paranoid that you. One head good, two heads bad! Jochen Siobhan wroteL Hi, Just read Issue 5, not bad, almost fantastic in fact, well done. Thank you. I'm writing in mostly because I'm that rarest of persons, a female gamer (and while I don't carry dice in my purse, I don't actually carry a purse, so I think that all balances out). I do mostly stick to online roleplay (MU*s and suchlike - not MUDs. MUDs are not roleplay. They are shooting galleries). So take heart, lads. We're out here. We just avoid you. Sorry, is that supposed to make me feel better? Take it easy, Siobhan (really honestly a girl, though I can't prove it) You could send us some pictures. [Grins hopefully] James wrote: A brief and incredibly redundant remark on the point-nine-recurring issue. My high school math teacher always gave this example: "You are on one side of a room and a pretty girl is on the other. If you move half the distance between the two of you, and then half again, and then half again, theoretically you will never get to the girl; but you will get close enough for all practical purposes." Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. James Dragonscroll.com Lisa wrote: First of all, -some- women like 'dangerous' men. It strikes me as the counterpart to the Whore-Madonna complex, actually. -Some- men put a thick and unhealthy line between "a woman to fuck" and "a woman to marry". (And often when they marry a woman, they can't quite figure out why they don't like to do the naked pretzel thing with her anymore.) Likewise, -some- women put a similar line between "nice guys" and "sexy guys". It has to do with cultural images. I'm trying to keep this short, though, because I'm hoping it'll be printed, and your zine isn't the place for psychology lectures. My pet theory is that, besides the Darwinist thing (which I'd say I agree with, though personal tastes also fall into there somewhere) it's a thing about control. There's a loss of control associated with sex, with people of high libido, with 'dangerous' people. Personally I've only once fallen in love with someone who wasn't my best friend for quite awhile, first. But I'm young. My current boyfriend, though -- the only one I've ever considered marrying -- was a close friend for a long time before things got romantic. But I've had other women tell me that once a woman has been a friend with you, she won't go out with you, so if you meet a woman and like her, you've got to ask her out quickly, before it's too late. Oh, and just for the sake of dispute, I have more than once been known to announce that I've got to go shit. Haven't read on the toilet much since childhood, though. There are more comfortable places to do one's reading. You sure you're a woman? Also, I only get really into hack'n'slash when I'm PMSing. Which makes me wonder about men. :-) I think we have dodgy hormones all month round. --Lisa "Man, machine, reality, what holds it together is, we're all NUTS!

The priest was 1st level, so his chance was 1%. Anyway, the priest was a melancholic type of character, the group managed to get into trouble quickly (as always) and the priest held up to the sky his holy symbol and wished that the end of the world would come. So the priest was basically suicidal? The DM rolled...00 and 1. You can imagine the laughter that followed... Erkki Tikk, Estonia, Europe, Planet Earth Lee wrote: Congratulations!

Grog humble devotee of SPAM Leonard Wilson wrote: Speaking as a formerly hopeless geek who has successfully and completely transitioned on the relationship front (ecstatically married for almost nine years), I think I can offer some useful insights here. Go on. #1) Human beings are irrational creatures, and I don't just mean most of us. I mean all of us. I spent the first twenty-one years of my life laboring under the illusion that I both could and should achieve perfect rationality. Then one particularly disastrous non-relationship turned my whole world upside down, and in the process it brought me in touch with the wonderful world of guess-work. The simple truth is, the human mind is not a computer and was never meant to be one. Feed a computer incomplete information, and all you've got is an expensive paperweight. Feed the human brain incomplete information and it rushes to fill in the blanks from previous experience and by analyzing patterns. No one can know everything. And as we all have different gaps in our knowledge and all fill in those gaps differently, no two people can ever communicate in a 100% rational manner. The world is crazy. Women are crazy. Men are crazy. You're crazy. I'm crazy. The only way to handle that is to stop wishing it were otherwise and learn to swim with the current. When you can just relax and go with it, you free your mind to do what it does best: recognize patterns and fill in blanks. Sure, you'll get the details wrong. You'd do that anyway. #2) You are your own worst enemy. Just for starters, you aren't as nice a guy as you think you are. I know _I_ wasn't. I was a self-absorbed little jerk. What you are - what the women respond to in the way that annoys you so - is generally harmless. You're a passive jerk rather than an aggressive jerk. That's a start, but you'll never win a marathon just by running a good fifty-meter dash. If you want to take home the prize, you've got to go the distance. How do I know you're the jerk I used to be? You're not taking responsibility for your own life and relationships. Rather than accept that you could be doing something better, you're pointing fingers and making bitter generalizations. Which brings me to a truly useful tidbit of information: Taking responsibility is sexy. Why? Because power is sexy, and taking responsibility is an acknowledgement that you wield the power to change things. So what if you messed up? The point is that you _could_ have made a difference, and that you're going to be in there fighting to make a difference next time. This is why "bad boys" are sexy. They're simply not afraid of the repercussions of their actions, so they exude confidence, decisiveness, and power. Women find that intoxicating. (So do men, BTW. Only the details differ.) The trap of bad boys is that their confidence simply comes from apathy. They really _don't_ care about the world outside themselves, and the women in their lives are part of that world. Inevitably, that apathy leads to the cruelty for which the women you mentioned demonize men. To be the kind of man that not only makes women melt but keeps them an emotional puddle, you start by taking responsibility for your own happiness, then you extend it to theirs. Don't confuse that with being overbearing, though. Being responsible in this sense doesn't mean trying to control a woman. It means recognizing you have the power to make her life better just as you have the power to improve your own. It also means acting on that knowledge. #3) Moderation in all things. A single rose is romantic. Six dozen roses at once is scary, unless the recipient has already accepted you unconditionally. Actually, I tried the single rose once. It didn't work. No matter what the movies tell us, grand romantic gestures are a quick way to kill a fledgling relationship. Courting a woman is like befriending a cat. Move in slow and nonchalant, stop and act like it's no big deal when she starts to spook. If she does run and you chase her, you'll just prove to her she had something to be scared about. If you don't chase her, odds are she'll let you move in closer next time your paths cross. If you want a lasting relationship, the bottom line is start by being her friend, then gradually transition. I've only actually used this tactic once, of course, but what worked for me in making the transition was humor. It's one of the world's great social tools. The key is remembering that behind all humor lies a deadly serious kernel of truth. Using humor, you can jokingly float ideas that will move a relationship along. By paying close attention to how she reacts instead of how you wish she'd react, you can tell whether she's at all receptive with little social risk. If you keep the steps small and have any decent sense of humor, the risks are practically non-existent. If a jest is poorly received, you back off and give her plenty of room if you ever want to make another, and in the mean time she's at least made a mental connection between you and the suggestion (whatever it may have been). If the joke is particularly well received, you're already flirting, which means you're halfway home. #4) Finally, shelve the stereotypes. Women _are_ hardwired different from men, but the difference is so infinitesimal compared to what we actually have in common with each other that it's a complete waste of time for anyone not already very socially adept to dwell on those differences. Remember, you're guaranteed to get the details wrong, so aim for the big target, which is your common ground. Stereotypes are actually a valid part of the human condition that allows us to cope with incomplete information - they're a shorthand way of dealing with people we don't know - but romance is all about emotional closeness and shattering the social barriers that keep us feeling isolated. The quicker you can stop looking at her as "a woman" and start looking at her as the totally unique individual she is, the easier it will be to develop the relationship. -- Leonard Wilson P.S.: My wife would like to point out that if you wish to complain that the women in your life generalize men into two categories, you should at least acknowledge the tendency of men to divide women into "saints and whores", which is so ingrained into Western society that you will find it discussed extensively in numerous social history texts. I'll admit that. But I would point out that this is a generally accepted syndrome, to the extent that it has a readily accepted name: "The Madonna-Whore Complex". She also suffered from the female form of the affliction you're discussing, in that for years she got treated like everybody's cute, harmless, and sexually bland kid sister. Her story, too, has a happy ending quite apart from me. This Christmas she made her own brother's jaw drop just from walking into a room - and her body was fully covered for church.
