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.

He wrote on Dragonlance in the early 2000s. He's not exactly an obscure character.

But that also doesn't validate any of his woke scold claims, however.

Why are you saying "claims to be an older gamer" as if that were somehow in doubt? I guess you don't know who Cam Banks is. He wrote on Dragonlance in the early 2000s. He's not exactly an obscure character.

LOL I guess "older gamer" is relative to the reader. The Satanic Panic predated the turn of the millennium by 20 years.
Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."

Submit Cam Banks + Talex of Xadia for RED
Blatant grotesque SJW - shits all over twitter the cliche lie of TTRPGS being sexist, racist white males only club and obviously blocks any and everyone who disagrees with him.  Twitter bio full of woke trash.  Claims to be an older gamer but ZERO memory of Satanic Panic and issues of the day.

Agreed. Cam Banks helped destroy Dragonlance too....but that's just my bitter opinion. :D

And Tales of LGBTQ....I mean Xadia is a trainwreck. The entire company that made the game is tainted in my opinion.

  Cam was merely an agent for the Queen of Darkness, and may have mitigated some of her worse tendencies ... but my relation to Dragonlance is complicated. :)

So, does that mean those of us old enough to have lived it are now the "Oldest Gamers" tm?

Cam Banks was born in 1971 according to Google, but yeah, he's from new Zealand. I don't think the satanic panic was much of a thing outside the US. Sometimes, cultural issues in the US aren't relevant outside it, especially before the rise of the internet. Not everyone is from the US.

TV existed and it was powerful enough to push it into México.

Mexico is the next country over from the US. New Zealand is on the other side of the world.

Whut? If you played D&D back in the day, then you knew about the Satanic Panic BS. And I'm not from the U.S. or anywhere near it for that matter.

In general sure, but in connection with rpgs it didn't get to Sweden until the late 80s (it was far more focused on rock music and violent movies before then) and didn't really take off as a thing in media until the early to mid 90s and then it was connected far more to Kult (which made sense seeing as D&D never made big inroads into Sweden). Which of course brings up another thing. If you started playing at any point past 1974, you had more than one game available to play, with more options every year. D&D was just one of many.

Yup... We would have gotten any info from the UK.

News reached the whole word thanks to the magic of television. USA didn't invade México to bring the satanic panic here.

Because you wrote "If you played D&D back in the day, then you knew about the Satanic Panic BS". Pointing out that not everyone who played RGPs back in the day played D&D back in the day is thus relevant.
