SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Watched the twitch until around 1 hour 3 minutes in. Oh dear.

PC "I'll swing at the nearest foreigner"
DM "Foreigner sounds bad"
PC "I hate foreigners, (clarifies) my character my character"
DM "This is not emblematic of the game, I promise this is not that kind of game, Sword and Sorcery has a really bad history with racism as a genre"

Oh no, pulp sword and sorcery isn't inclusive enough, quick let's change it. Sword and sorcery is so abhorrent to 'modern sensibilities'.
Perhaps you'd have better luck advertising on RPGNET, they love that kind of thing. Mind you I'd change the book cover to not include a woman with a curvy ass first as they also think sword and sorcery has a really bad history with sexism as a genre, and colonialism, etc.

Pity, I really wanted to like this as the blurb on https://www.blackspirefantasy.com/ sounded great but I don't need moral lessons from my RPGs, after all WotC have that well covered.

What next, a Call of Cthulhu style game that tells me how bad Lovecraft was while making money of his name and genius? Oops, too late.
