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.

I had the temerity to suggest they ban talk of politics not games in the gaming forum, a point I made in their TT thread, and a mod jumped on me like a member of some secret police force.

Those mods are hilarious.  DISSENTER!  Begone!

The sooner TBP bans everyone that isn't part of their cult the better.  This place (if you can avoid the crazies), rpgpub, and various Discords all have better gaming discussion these days.

RPGpub, game specific forums (mostly) and discord are the only places I can seem to get unsullied game conversation these days.

Discussing grey (not purple) worms?

What does TBP stand for? Is it a parody-acronym for RPG.net that stands for something like "The Ban Planet"? (That's my best guess at this point.)

I believe it stands for the "The Big Purple" based on the purple theme of the site.

I'm not an OSR fan but I sodding bought it just because I'll support any game someone tries to suppress because they don't like the author, I genuinely don't give a shit about your politics, you produce quality material that isn't offensive for the sake of it you shouldn't be getting excluded from a gaming forum.

It's an excellent take on B/X D&D that expands classes, spells, domain management, etc.  There's been a recent kickstarter finishing up with an associated set of mechanics.  (I've received mine, but haven't looked through them.)  It was one of the real "games of the month" for several months at rpg.net a few years back.  All the OSR love seems to have dried up there with 5e so it wasn't getting much lover recently.

I highly recommend checking it out.  I ran a pbp game of B/X there and incorporated several ideas form ACKS into that game with great success.

Thank you for the kind words! That's a very apt description. We just finished up our "Heroic Fantasy" supplement that attempts to better emulate heroic fantasy fiction, and right now we have a new kickstarter going for a megadungeon called Secrets of the Nethercity. I'm offering a free sample of Area 10 for anyone who wants to try before they buy.

If you'd like some very well thought-out mass combat rules that will work with any OD&D-compatible system, I'd recommend Domains@War. It covers sieges, campaigning, battles, skirmishes, the lot.
Currently running: Tyche's Favourites, a historical ACKS campaign set around Massalia in 300BC.
