Quote from: MigRib;1142923I was browsing through the mentioned thread and found no reference to a few companies like Free League, Fantasy Flight (although they, apparently, are no longer making RPGs they still have a lot of products out there) and Cubicle 7. Have these wokened too? Or have they stayed neutral?

No idea about Free League.

FFG put out a [Brand] statement on Twitter and made donations in that kinda "pay the online protection racket to spare you" way. Their products otherwise seem neutral but that might have something to do with L5R being a ripe target for the usual suspects to read too much into. Nothing in their 40k, L5R or SW stuff ever made me raise an eyebrow.

Cucible 7's an odd duck. TOR 2E was showing signs of it, WHFRP 4E wasn't too badd but that depends on your opinion of how diverse the (Holy Roman) Empire would reasonably be and whether that counts as woke. The number of white male enemies depicted in Soulbound's art versus the amount of white male heroes was pretty funny too (plenty of dwarves, one elf) Diversity of PCs is all good when your setting's openly trying to be a melting pot but the contrast between the pigments of heroes to villains definitely stood out to me as more than an accidental coincidence. How much of that is just jumping at shadows I'll let you decide.

Yeah, the artwork I'm seeing come out of the latest Autarch Kickstarter(Ascendant) has been pretty awesome and I don't think most other publishers would be capable of putting it out.

They won't. I won't either. Been through all this before with my favorite edition of D&D when the f&^kers came with their torches and pitchforks declaring my favorite game dead to them for whatever fanciful reasons they chose. Put together a new gaming group this summer, and they like my game just fine.

Also, I doubt you'll see Frog God bowing down anytime soon. If Bill and Zach bows at all anymore it'll work out pretty much like this:

Autarch's Publish via Kickstarter process is very mature and effective, on top of the good games they produce. And no bending of the knee that I've seen.

Quote from: S'mon;1142757I find sticking to material released 2012 or earlier is the safest bet.

That's my rule of thumb for entertainment in general these days.

Quote from: S'mon;1142757I like Sasquatch and not seen any evidence Rich Baker is particularly Woke - https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/6416/Sasquatch-Game-Studio . Primeval Thule felt like it had been scrubbed a bit on release to get rid of the more lurid stuff Baker had been planning to go for according to his design blogs, but it's still very very good.

I always liked Rich Baker's work in AD&D 2E and adapted many of his d20 adventures to 2E, like Forge of Fury.

Also, he is a US Navy veteran, so I think he's not woke at all.
