ironman1231 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 On the new Facebook event for ReaperCon, one of the two organizers (one is ReaperCon), the other is Frog God Games. Anyone know what's going on there? How are they participating? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List Frog God Games as the first host, then Reaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawlkeer Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Just being nosey, so if it's none of my business just say so, but I have to ask, is there something wrong with FG? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bedlam Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Perhaps you are thinking of Team Frog. Frog God has done nothing to make me uncomfortable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The owner of Frog God Games, Bill Webb, has been involved in more than one ... altercation at conventions involving excess of alcohol and attentions paid to extremely unwilling young ladies. It seems to be a pattern. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, FGG has backed Pathfinder & D&D & other systems (one of my favs, Swords & WIzardry is their own) for quite some time. If not for them, we wouldn't have quite a few missing creatures & items not yet made by WoTC for example. Their Tome of Horrors 5e has some nice hole fillers when it comes to monsters. 4 hours ago, Dr.Bedlam said: ...and now I am uncomfortable. Yah, I didn't see this one before posting (oddly it didn't show up after Dr B's post I quoted???? I guess as a gaming company, they haven't done me wrong but I guess individuals make up companies...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironman1231 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Here's a statement from Bill about what he did: https://froggodgames.com/frogs/statement-by-bill-webb/ It's hard to paint an entire company as bad for the actions of one boorish person. But it is something to be wary of, certainly. ReaperCon is such a family friendly/fun and welcoming event - I'm sure that the staff will be alert to anything going sideways. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen fun and friendly doesn't deal well with seriously problematic attendants, especially if they are strongly involved in the con itself. An SFcon I've been going to for years had a lot of problems. Indeed, my daughter was unwilling to go to the gaming room because of one person who would not stop creeping on her and other young women. The problem was only solved when the con instituted a serious policy and set up specific staff to enforce it. What's ReaperCon's Harassment policy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internet thrives on blowing up drama. Sounds like dude is aware of his behavior coming off wrong and that they'll be most excellent!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGG as an entity hadn't done anything to bother me, but I'm not as plugged into the convention scene as some folks, and I flat was unaware of the behind the scenes drama. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
