you would think Kormak would know how it feels to be "different".

GreyWolfVT · #242 Post by **GreyWolfVT** » Mon May 05, 2014 5:11 pm

different in a manner beyond his control yes. Though Mr. Choe chooses to be the cross dresser at least that is Kormak's view.

Oh, now you open up the entire "gay by choice debate". I'm hetero and I don't buy the argument. No one wants to be gay. I side with the "born gay" argument.

oh I am not saying that at all..... I am merely stating the opinion of the character not my own thoughts. In the time of what is supposedly the setting of this game I'm thinking that it is less common for cross dressing to be accepted for one and two this is a half orc he is fairly simple minded and not majorly smart.

a story needs conflict and tension!

yup. personally I have friends and relatives that are gay. I also have no issues with cross dressing and so forth. Just to clear that air.

Exactly Victors point!

women have been such a bane to me that I often wish I was born gay. But man ass simply has no appeal.

GreyWolfVT · #249 Post by **GreyWolfVT** » Mon May 05, 2014 5:46 pm

as for me I just agree and hairy man boobs are also not appealing to me.

Just to be the "Um, actually..." guy: don't conflate cross-dressing with homosexuality. The vast majority of cross-dressers are heterosexual.

But, since the point of historical acceptance has been raised: Historically, Idonea would be a cross-dresser, also, in her hunter's leathers. Most contemporary fantasy worlds pay no heed to actual history of dress (which I'm all for. I know just enough about the subject to think that strictly researched period garb will not enhance our gameplay experience). But if we wanted to cleave a bit more towards historically appropriate attitudes, I'd be happy enough to play Idonea as someone who runs up against her society's gender expectations.

GreyWolfVT · #251 Post by **GreyWolfVT** » Mon May 05, 2014 6:19 pm

Eh I'm not historically accurate anyways. If we stick to history elves and orcs never existed. Same with most all of the races from these games.

Pulpatoon · #252 Post by **Pulpatoon** » Mon May 05, 2014 6:37 pm

Yup. Historicism is a rabbit hole that's best not to head down. Next thing you know, you need a couple of doctorates just to figure out what kind of food the tavern would actually be serving. Much better to just accept that it's fantasy based off a vaguely defined psuedo-Medievalism. Pick and choose the bits that are fun, and make up the rest. Towards this end, I advocate a liberalism that would have been largely out of place in most (but not all!) Medieval societies when it comes to gender, sexuality, and ethnicity.

GreyWolfVT · #253 Post by **GreyWolfVT** » Mon May 05, 2014 6:56 pm

eh Kormak is going to be one of the key points of tension in this group just tellin' yah now.

Mort on the other hand will be the balance between that tension though he creates more tension by having a bit of a thing for Maya

MonkeyWrench · #254 Post by **MonkeyWrench** » Mon May 05, 2014 7:00 pm

Then it's unfortunate... Victor already sold Maya's wedding to Mr. Choe for three chickens and a goat so he could make a meat pyramid!

GreyWolfVT · #255 Post by **GreyWolfVT** » Mon May 05, 2014 7:01 pm

well that just adds to this crazy love hexagon

though by now we might be up to a love octagon.

Nordbo · #256 Post by **Nordbo** » Mon May 05, 2014 9:12 pm

both OCC and OOT: Love Hexagon ....... great title for a krautrock album

GreyWolfVT · #257 Post by **GreyWolfVT** » Mon May 05, 2014 10:49 pm

what are we minstrels now?

Pulpatoon · #258 Post by **Pulpatoon** » Tue May 06, 2014 10:56 am

I'm going to go back and edit my last few posts to make them fit into the flow of events a bit more, what with my being mistaken about Mort being at the Inn with us, and the conversation with the officials beginning before Idonea and Ewat had arrived.

Nordbo · #259 Post by **Nordbo** » Tue May 06, 2014 11:01 am

Yeah, I got a bit lost there, that's why I directed our general reply to Idonea, who my PCs seemed to be near as I understood it. Still not 100% clear over if my PCs are also in the same room as the officials, or where Victor & Maya are... but that's cool, it will sort itself out!

We may need some of Pyro's battle summary posts just to keep our conversations straight!
