This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Angry at patronizing garbage in my game books.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1060805That's what you get for buying books from these people.

It's the only time it happened. Just the one book I have an issue with.

My plans with Fate are pretty simple. I'm going to bend, spindle and mutilate it to my heart's content.

The one redeeming faculty of FATE is that it's easy to mutilate.

Had a player way back who really liked the Fate system. But so far I have not yet had a chance to actually look at it.

Quote from: Xuc Xac;1059383Yes, because violence is a binary quality. There are no options between Teletubbies and a torture porn gore fest draped in entrails dripping with blood and shit.

My brain promptly combined those images. I am now torn between wanting to laugh and wanting to throw up.  D**n you, sir,  d**n you!

For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

I'd like to add it has a few decent setting books you could run with any generic system that's actually an RPG.

Well, it is based on Amber.

Tinky-Winky has such sights to show you.

Their puzzle box has soft, rounded corners and a big, friendly button in the most inviting shade of red.  So tempting.  If you put your finger on the button and try to remove it, your finger sticks for just a moment, as though the button was reluctant to let you go.

I already railed against stupidity and forced politics into a setting because they try to indoctrinate people to their ideology.

What..? Is that true? I thought it was just a FUDGE derivative.

The In Dark Alleys intro adventure has a scene involving monstrous teletubby lookalikes.

I've kind of noticed this stuff from the Fate community in general. They tend to lean pretty heavily in the SJW direction and have a pretty high level of intolerance towards outside views. This little excerpt is from Sarah Newton's new Fate Core fantasy setting, Future Earth:

QuoteA Note on Sex and Gender

The Venerable Autocracy of Sakara has lots of social
hang-ups and ways in which people are prejudiced
against one another, but they have nothing to do
with sex and gender. Naturally occurring contracep-
tive plants and sorcerous cantrips affecting fertility
have meant that women have controlled their bod-
ies for longer than recorded history, so the pressures
which led to women's oppression in our own histories
have not applied. Additionally, Judeo-Christian mo-
rality died out many tens of millennia ago, and the
Autocracy has an often bewildering array of gender
roles and sexual identities, none of which have any
bearing on a person's status or occupation. In a world
inhabited by aliens and evolutionarily divergent
hominids, where gods, sorcery, and demons are real,
and where Chaos gnaws at the fibres of existence, sex
and gender are not significant preoccupations.
For ease of reading and comprehension, we refer to
players as "he" and the Chronicler (the game master)
as "she" in these rules. We hope that works for you.

Her stuff wasn't like this until it was, at least not the current degree. It's like a switch was flipped.

Except that excerpt is significantly preoccupied with sex, to the point that there's a long explanation as to why it's "not a big deal". If it's NOT a big deal, why are SJWs obsessed with the matter?
