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.

Chaosium's BRP Central, its echo chambers and how the company view me as a customer.

Quote from: sureshot;1106511Wow either you REALLY lack the social skills to read a room or simply just spout whatever nonsense comes into your head because your getting push-back.

First off unless the store owner asks for your opinion on Sharia law or advice it's none of your damn business to go around telling people your opinions they did not ask to hear about. If the store owner was Muslim he would have grounds to ban me forever because one does not go to store owned by one to start stupidly mouthing off unneeded and more importantly unwanted opinion on Sharia law. Even if the owner was not a Muslim many have customers who shop their why the hell would they want you or any other like minded person scaring them away.

Get a fucking clue learn to read a room. It's like going into a bank waving a toy gun around as a joke then wondering why security is shooting at you or arresting you.

I sympathize with what happened to you because I was banned from Rpg.net on the slimmest of excuses yet I should have read the room.

I was given some "lessons on how to be excellent" by some muslim woman that probably salivated through her niqab/ninja outfit in order to belittle me in her cute post, referring to her shit Sharia laws. I didn't want that and I told her so. That's it. Now, of course, many of my posts in that thread are gone. But that's how it started. And then posts started popping up about not talking about religion, something I thought was aimed at her (she thought this too) but to my surprise it was my posts that were horrible.

The Knight of 16k posts has delivered his fortune cookie wisdom yet again. Don't ever start a sentence with "Look dude". Are you a surfer? A pothead?

"Of course, this place won't be an echo chamber for your opinions either - in which case maybe you need to look at how you are presenting yourself."

So you are saying that I should change the way I "present" myself, how I write, what I think and feel to be more in tune with your own ideas? Or who else would you recommend me mimicking in order to be a good little boy? Name your champion so that I might model myself after him. Or maybe just keep your shit opinion to yourself?

Guys he is from Sweden.  They are getting raped, acid attack, knife attack, racial beat downs, murdered, and much much more by the death cult of peace.  Let us take that to consideration.  There are regions of Sweden that people cannot freely travel anymore because of these immigrants.  

Last you Swedes need to fucking remove your globalists leaders out of government for good and put in nationalists.  People who are fucking loyal to their country and people for crying out loud.  Sure they may break off from the EU, but that is for the long term survival of the country, its culture, and its people.

Then they can fight back or their culture can die out. I'm all out of sympathy for this guy.

Quote from: GIMME SOME SUGAR;1106519I really wish they made CoC a darker, more horrific game but sadly it's becoming more pulp, Slimer green and Scooby-Doo.

Stop wishing and start writing.

Or start going through DriveThruRPG and find the various not-CoC HPL games and discover what they have to offer. Below represents less than 5 minutes of searching. Who knows what you'd uncover with a spare hour?

Quote from: Spinachcat;11064891) Bacon is freaking awesome!!

2) There's a world of difference between peaceful Islam and the radicalized "version" trying to subvert the entire religion. Unfortunately, we know which one grabs the headlines.

3) Halal ribs are freaking awesome!! We have halal pizza, ribs and chicken places in Los Angeles and its almost always supremely well cooked. We have a sizable Lebanese-American community and many Armenian-American places also use halal meat.

4) Both you and GOS are 100% welcome to discuss anything here. It's a free speech forum so he can defend his shoulder chip and you can poke at it. Or just agree to disagree. Either way, its fine here.

Yes bacon is awesome, though it's beef or turkey for me now a days. So enjoy that bacon cheeseburger, I'll just take a double cheeseburger no bacon but with a fried egg instead.
True, my wife is from Malaysia and a good friend, who's a Sufi,  that took me to the Islamic Art Museum Malaysia informed me that all that art would be destroyed under Wahabis. So like my friend, they aren't on my favorite list.
And right wing religion of any kind just takes the fun out of life.

You were right to defend yourself in that case as she had no business trying to impose her views on you. Yet at the same time you also knew what to expect from the forum and posters. Engage if you must to defend yourself yet at the same time also accept the consequences for doing so. Going to a forum that has become more regressive due to SJW modding and posters then complaining about it is both futile and a waste of time imo.

If one knows that one is not welcome at forum XYZ then one no longer should go their anymore. I have told you yet I'm sure that will be ignored in favor of some victim complex.

He just can't help himself he just can't. Either we give complete 10000% validation or the attacks begin for daring not to give the demanded and expect validation of said posts.

I have to ask. What even possessed you to get on a Chaosium influenced forum and post anything that is not towing the party line now. Everyone knows they either have been infiltraited by the SJW cultists or one or more of the staff have drank deep of the kool-aid and become a cultist.

That and what possessed you to post stuff that would on even more moderate fora get you possibly in trouble. That would be a ban right out the gate over on BGG for example. Possibly deservedly so since you seem to take an adversarial stance way too often when a more sedate pace might get you more traction.

And speaking of BRP. How much of this PC nonesense has actually crept into that at this point. As of last check looked like none at all?

Well, I'm writing several scenarios actually, but writing in English takes alot of extra time. The thing is that I like the BRP system that CoC has. I don't mind the rules. But now I'm unsure if I can offer up my future pdfs at drivethrurpg. There's the Miskatonic Repository, but then Chaosium get's a couple of bucks. I don't think people are allowed to post scenarios with for instance some kind of pay what you want thing without it being a part of the Repository. Well, I can always release them somewhere for free. Free stuff is nice too.

Jeff has a funny way of quoting people. I like to mimic him. And i'm just venting (some day you might do the same) and I'm not expecting sympathy from Jeff the Salty Knight of Sardonic Quotes or you, the squire and conjoined twin Sureshot. I get enough comforting care from my Pokemon finger puppets that slowly twist my nipples to your sexy avatars.

Well, the funny thing is that I'm just suspended a month from the more sensitive BRP central fora, but completely BANNED from the Yog-Sothoth forum now that were said to have a little higher ceiling. The thing is also that alot of my posts seemed to have been appreciated by some members and became hot topics. When I started posting there the forum was rather slow. I gave it some fire.

And on BRP Central I won a silly award for most liked posts a lovely day in August then recieved my first ban some days later, probably because I have the finesse of a rhino and I posted some critique that wasn't recieved as well as earlier. Maybe it was in the thread below or somewhere else:

https://basicroleplaying.org/topic/10156-a-plea-chaosium-please-make-call-of-cthulhu-creepy-again/

I just wanted Chaosium to know that old and real horror loving farts still play CoC and that I am unhappy with the way the game is presented these days. Swedish Kult makes CoC look like Pikachu the rpg. Who are their Kickstarter backers, to be honest? 13 year old kids who persuade their parents or wrinkly old asses like me? Or are Seattle neckbeards the majority among backers? Is that why they include more tidbits about the racism of the 1920s or the situation for LGBTQUEBEC Investigators during that era? Is that why they probably count the number of "characters of colour" in every product they release, no matter the era or setting?

Although it wasn't a Chaosium product, I think alot of nu-Chaosium's sensibility and inclusion came in the wake of Harlem Unbound. Many seemed very impressed with that product. They are making a 2nd edition now.
