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.

To be honest I really don't buy much of their games, but when they do something right they do something right.  They recently made a card game that makes fun of the social justice warrior crowd and frankly some one needed to poke fun in them.

Here is the link to that card game.

That 1 star rating they're gonna get from all the SJWs is gonna sting a bit, since it affects their overall publisher rating.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

I think they don't care.  Other wise they would had never made it in the first place.  It is also about time we have see a game company that shows it has enough of this bullshit.

Look when it comes to real cases of civil rights sign me up for it.  I will help, vote, and try my best to improve the quality of life for other people.  For all the things social justice warriors bitch about, however, is complete bullshit that deserves no support.

While they are bitching about dragon crown boobs people in Texas were trying to resist its congress from destroying clinics that allow abortion.  They bitch about something is 100% fake and not even real while very real things are being done without them doing any thing about it.

Of course there is.

There are people lining up to be in the line to say how awful it and he is.

I gotta say, it looks fucking dreadful as a product, irrespective of all the sanctimony surrounding it.

On a related issue, I have been a member of the local PRIDE group here in Portland for nearly 10 years now.  The "Portlandpack" of TBP is actually pretty sizeable; at least 20 or so people who are or were vocal posters at some point.

Do you know how many of these people, who were very vocal about their outrage on TBP about oppression, I saw at a PRIDE event?  Less than half.  And most of those who did go don't even post there hardly anymore (Blackberry, Misha, Pat and Jen Y, etc).

Can you give me more detail please?  I think PRIDE is for gay, lesbians, and other people with different sexuality than straight people.  What is TBP though?  Also who are all those people you just named.

Well, PRIDE is pretty much for GLBT rights, but you don't have to be GLBT to be a member.  You just need to be supportive of equal rights is all.  And those people I mentioned were people from Portland who were part of the Portlandpack who also did more to support equal rights than bitch on a computer, but haven't really posted on TBP at all in years.  Only an occassional post here and there.

I guess the point I was trying to make is that an awful lot of people in my area that like the wave the SJW banner I haven't seen actually putting their money where their mouth is, so to speak.  As a straight white guy, I think I've done more for real life causes than most of those people.

Now that makes more sense.  Okay thank both for clearly that up for me.

In other words as much as those social justice warriors love the scream and shout the fact is they are hardly there to begin with.

That thread is basically a personal attack on JD. A few people were booted for personal attacks, but the whole thread should be closed as one. Also, it belongs in another area as the product discussed is not an RPG. "I wanted the world to see what this person is really made of" is generally not used in a positive sense...


P.S. The product does look terrible, offensive and poorly done. However, that doesn't excuse TBP from breaking its own rules.

I never said the product was good.  Hell I will never buy it because I know for a fact it looks like shit.  As for offensive?  Yeah that is postmortem thing.  They always make offensive content so this isn't new.  This is perhaps their least offensive content to be honest.

The only reason I brought it up is because it targets on social justice warriors who are pretty much the new type of internet troll.  It is just refreshing to see a company go after them instead of bending over backwards to meet their demands.  Then get bitch at by the social justice warrior crowd even after bending over backwards.

It looks simple, I don't know about 'shit'. I don't have as much time for side projects, or as much spare money for them, so had to so everything myself. The system is surprisingly deep in terms of gameplay really.
