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.

I believe it was launched yesterday by the guys from the Biggus Geekus Podcast. They are marketing themselves as a free speech alternative to DriveThruRPG. I recognize several authors on the website, including Miguel Ribeiro, David Guyll, Felbrigg Herriot, and Venger Satanis. Maybe Pundit decides to join them as well?

Here is the link to the site: https://biggeekemporium.com/

Naturally, it's still a bit bare-bones, but I trust it will develop over time.

Awesome!

I contacted DriveThru to change my exclusivity, and found out that takes SIX MONTHS. Ugh. So I can't put any of my current catalog up there yet. If I get anything new out before then (which I should...), I'll be sure to upload it to BGE, though.

I think this might be just what I've been waiting for.  I've always been hesitant about kickstarter.  I don't think it's that great of a business model for me and it can sure destroy a guy's reputation.  Drive-thru is in league with rpg.net and prone to political hijinks.

Wonder how they will handle complaints from the woke idiots trying to destroy careers?  Hopefully Zak, Venger, Pundit and the rest move over there and are able to sell without worrying about being shut down by some idiot.

Ditto, artificial BS, very tempted to remove my entire library and let them have their percent of zero.

Just tell them, "It's a private company. They can do what they want."

If the owner takes my on my offer I'll be donating time handling the complaints/revisions of material. IF so expect exactly ZERO influence from the perpetually offended.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

I hope they have a better interface. I like DTRPG as it is since they haven't gone superwoke, but I don't mind alternatives. However, they need to at least have an interface on par with DTRPG, whose bar is already scraping the bottom lol.

Pundit works through publishers, though. It'll be up to them to get their products in there.

I think that he published The Invisible College himself. I'm not sure though.
