I doubt I'd even get this for free.

Quote from: Voros;1005447The OP claimed merely having POC in your art was SJWing a game. I used OA to point out the absurdity of his claim and his snowflake-like fragility. Probably best to not derail the thread with politics in the main forum I know but such rank stupidity is difficult to ignore.

Depends on what the background is. If you've got fantasy-Asians in your fantasy-Europe for no discernible reason other than "gosh representation is important, you know," then it's SJW-ified. If they're conquerors, colonists, wanderers, merchants, etc from fantasy-Asia, then it's not.

So monks are SJWing D&D? Seems like a massive overstatement. Seeing SJWs under your bed and in the closets.

Nah, they were SJW before SJW was a thing!

I'm hoping this comment was meant to be humorous.

Lordy.

Well that was singularly uninformative while being slightly offensive. Why am I not surprised?

Quote from: Malleustein;1005315The author isn't important enough to me to care about stuff he posted and I already own the book.

If I already like a thing... a song, movie, painting, book, game... finding out it's creator is a cock-monkey usually won't sway me off it too much... because the admiration for the thing precedes the annoyance.
But if I START with seeing the creator being an asshole... then that notion of ass-holieness is gonna lay its stink on whatever comes after.

I think D&D monks count as "cultural appropriation."

And the Benedictines are getting pretty darn tired of people doing that. They've complained, but for some reason no one seems to hear them.

You seem easily offended for this place. So yes, I was being facetious, I think it as absurd to claim the original monk and OA was 'SJWing' D&D as the OP's statement about some POC being in fantasy art. My 'Lordy' was that this wasn't apparently obvious to the self-serious types on here.

I did find the author constant promotion of his product to be a little annoying that being said unlike too many rpg companies that don't do enough advertising or promotion. I won't fault him for doing it. Apparently the Hollow Earth Expedition rpg still has support. Yet unless one goes to their site their is no promotion or advertising of their new product. To me the first one actually cares about their product. The second expects others to figure out they have new product.

Darrin Kelley · November 04, 2017, 04:05:43 PM

I don't want it even for free. It presses all of my buttons to make me go blah.

Extreme! Boobies! Sex! Nudity!

No thank you. If that is all a game is about. Then I will just pass.

I also found the author's invasive promotion to be really annoying. All it did was: Repulse me from his game even further.

mAcular Chaotic · November 04, 2017, 04:43:53 PM

I don't get why people do that.

There are some people in other communities who become annoying because they take literally every discussion as a chance to hijack it for promoting their own product. It's OK now and then but eventually I just stop reading their posts.
