Gor (John Norman)

This article or section is about something involving/related to /d/. Expect PROMOTIONS and possible mental scarring. Also rape.

This article contains something widely considered by /tg/ to be absolutely disgusting, like pedophilia, rape porn, or any other disturbing topic, like bathing in your allies' blood. Reason: RAEP, slavery, BDSM... FATAL before FATAL.

Gor is John Norman's magical realm.

This started as an Edgar Rice Burroughs pastiche long ago in Tarnsman of Gor. Gor resides in the Sol/Terra Libration Point 3; i.e., it is the counter-Earth, which is somehow protected from Newton and Lagrange yeeting out its metastable orbit by MAGIC.

Tarnsman starts the series innocuously-enough: the hero, Norman's self-insert as a university professor, somehow gets translated over there and then has to deal with this cruel and slave-owning society. As we go along, though, we learn that Norman actually likes it here.

And so do Norman's fans. There's actually a community of bondage-and-submission devotees who see this shit as near-Scripture. The hell, man.

The Priest Kings Golden Beetle made it to Fiend Factory in White Dwarf 49, so Gor (regrettably) has been /tg/-relevant for some decades now. And since 2017 there is a RPG.
