White Wolf Withdraws Pay-To-Play Policy
WorselWorsel writes "After almost two weeks of fan outrage White Wolf has canceled plans to implement their Pay-to-Play policy. In a forum post, Philippe R. Boulle writes 'Based on all your feedback, it's obvious that the policy as currently worded is not going to accomplish these goals. So, we are pulling it off the table as a blanket policy. I realize that the proverbial genie can't be shoved back in the bottle, but the guidelines I handed to a few people at ORIGINS and posted here last week clearly need to be reworked and rethought, so please consider them withdrawn.' The withdrawal of the policy can be read in full on the forums."
Don't get me wrong. D&D stuff is retarded, too. But honeslty, dressing like a vampire and hanging out with 80 other wannabe-oh-so-cool types at the local Shari's all night, becuase you couldn't get a real date and have to hang out with a bunch of losers under the premise of a "game"? Sheesh. Just retarded.
And yes, I found myself stuck in the middle of such a LARP event once at a Sharis when it was invaded by a bunch of these morons. They made RHPS regulars look totally fucking sane, normal and even attractive.
