When it comes to sales shipping is sales. Comic book stores only bring in what they order no more any less. I worked at a comic book store when I was heavy into collecting. Nothing has changed in a decade other than DCD sending out more useless garbage like extra toys or t-shirts that they know won't be thrown out and take up space until it's sold. Sometimes it'll be multiples of promotional materials such as preview comics or posters. It's get's to the point where you may as well look forward to what mystery is in the box like a blind bag unboxing.

So shipping doesn't count as sales then, got it.

I didn't explain things right. When a comic store order things they'll order in an x amount of comics from each of their typical books, such as ay 10 Amazing Spider-Man's, Batmans and what not and then work down from there (Go-Bots only got in three issues this month which I had to get since the cover art reminds me of the old 80's artwork...nostalgia is a bitch). Then they'll order in what people have on their waiting list to fill up customer slots (forgot what they're called but every store has their own name for them.). A comic store will only order in what they can sell in a limited amount of time, usually within three months before the comic get's rotated out and put into one of the comic bins in the back. So while you'll see an x amount of comics sold, they're not always sold that month, usually only the top 25 comics will be sold that month. You'd be surprised at how little that dents the number of comics shipped every month by every publisher, and that's before you get into import titles being shipped.
 
If trans people are totally accepted and it's really really easy to do, why are their still fuck-ugly people and gender roles in the setting?

Also wouldnt evil people use this as a form of punishment, exploitation or torture? take your defeated enemy make a him a pretty girl. Blast his mind with mental control spells Force him into the hareem or let your men take turns with him over the next weeks. From what I know about the setting their's some really nasty evil pieces of shit so hat sort of thing would be on the cards.
You could even set up some human trafficking by offering sex changes to the dirt poor plebs in exchange for 'serfdom', change them into the opposite gender but also ensure their's no resemblence to their old self, transport them to somewhere where no-one knows them and then you can do whatever you want to them.

I know this a little vulgar but they want their dark gritty setting and they want it to be an escapist fantasy for trans people-pick one.

EDIT-it occurs to me that we've come to the end game 'that guy' is now t dictating who 'that guy' is.

Neil Gaiman wrote a short story back in the 90s on what would happen if the ability to change gender came in pill form. Originally it was the perfect cancer treatment, but eventually people started using it for recreation. A black market erupts, and the drug sells more than cocaine and heroin put together. In Thailand, boys are changed into girls to make them more valuable as prostitutes. In China, baby girls are changed into boys, even if the family has to sell everything they have for the drug. In the middle east, men have to be able to prove they are natal men, or else they get accused of being women trying to escape wearing the veil and get stoned. The word "change" itself becomes a dirty word.

I guess my point is it's another incidence of people thinking that their D&D world should be like an idealized version of Portland.

One only needs to look at the r/RPG subreddit to see it. With the white wolf scandal there were the usual harpies coming out of the woodwork to denounce WW as always being an 'edgelord' magnet and that this Chechnya issue is just them finally getting their comeuppance for being 'edgy' and/or appealing to 'edgy' people and the new modern inclusive RPG Community shouldn't encourage wrongthink RP like WW.

It kinda made me angry. I honestly can't understand why such a small minority in this hobby have elected themselves as Pope Moral Authority over what people can like and the media and forums all fall in line to defend progressive pearl clutching. Disregarding you know, the the moral panic around VtM in the 90s by religious fundies and WW being stupidly open and 'diverse' in thought.

It's basically the same moral panic just from liberals but they have such a smug holier than thou attitude about it.

I've done that before when I was younger with the Girdle of femininity/masculinity just to fuck with my DM.

Pathfinder has a rather cheap Elixer that does the same thing for like 500gp I believe.

Also, I've always enjoyed reading these rules and wondering what sort of person this guy was and now is

I think I've seen this fetish before somewhere on Deviantart.

What worries me is I wasnt even trying, I'm a layperson on this stuff trying to make a point. Imagine what a dedicated mind/massive pervert looking at such magics in a grimdark setting could come up with.

For example say the overlord of the local Lawful evil empire and captures the neighboring idealized medieval fuelism lands' only prince, about a year or so down the line. King bob the honerable gets sent his now traumatised 'daughter' with a note saying a)Attempts to reverse the spell will kill the 'princess' because the evil empire has been doing this kind of nasty shit for centuries', B) He's not annuling the marridge and C) He's keeping wifu's newborn son and look forward to the unification of your two kingdoms on your death, no doubt the proper tuition from the priests of Asmodeus will ensure prince murderfuck will be a fine king.

On the bright side, the local adventurers are going to love that blank cheque to rescue your grandson.

Tip of the iceberg here.

I think so. They're dumb enough to use that name everywhere.
http://atamajakki.tumblr.com Seems to be a furry too so fun times there.
They're even dumb enough to use that name on 4chan.
Just do a bit more digging you'll find other names they've used.
Some even send you to their Twitter page.

If only if Wizards didn't pay pennies, then we wouldn't have to deal with these chucklefucks trying to warp the realm of escapism into the world of "Real World Problems" coupled with That Guy levels of degenerate sexual perversions. I swear soon enough if this continues that the 5th edition release of The Book of Vile Darkness will probably have a section dedicated to GooberGrape, Drumph, or Alt-Right or some shit as they for working for an RPG company ironically lack imagination.

You’re implying they'd release books fast enough to even get to Vile Book of Darkness before 6th edition came around.

No no, it's a new spell in the pamphlet we're ripping on.

CORPOREAL COMFORT

1st-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 hour (ritual)
Range: Self or Touch
Components: V S M (a fistful of wet clay, a small amount of powdered Eberron dragonshard)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Wizard, Bard, Cleric, Druid

When you cast this spell on a willing target, they are physically transformed to align with a gender identity of their choice; this can make the target more masculine, feminine, or androgynous, and can grant functional reproductive organs if the target desires. This spell does not change age or race, and does not grant any mechanical benefit.

In addition to being gay as hell, this is badly written: range of "Touch" means that you can cast it on yourself, unless you can't touch yourself for some reason ([masturbation joke.]) Species trooning out would actually be a lot more interesting, since you could go Zealot barbarian and keep getting your druid to Reincarnate you via death spam.
 
I honestly wish TSR had folded after 1st edition AD&D...or that Gary had A, not lost control of the company and B, not drank/smoked himself into an early grave.
 
Our friend popped up on reddit again and eyerolling was had. Because of course he's working on a game that is 'the tran-est'.

Like, Jesus. He really doesn't seem to have any sort of personality aside from LOOK AT HOW TRANS I AM. LOOK AT ALL THE TRANS-NESS.

Like, I'd genuinely be interested in a game that doesn't have concepts of gender or whatever and the angel characters are maybe metaphysical like pillars of fire but yeah. If you want to move beyond gender why make EVERYTHING about it in the first place?
