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).

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.

Quote from: VisionStorm;1117178This thread has turned into the weirdest hill to die on, over a game that isn't even out yet and appears to be woke based on pure speculation and a single article from a woke blogger that appears to contradict the impressions of people who've actually read the books the game will be based on.

Pretty much. The books are, at least the one Kat had, which was I think the first one, I saw none of these claims. It came across as a fairly standard "hero recruited and/or press-ganged into the secret world" sort of theme that has been around in YA fiction since before I was born.

Please I have four cats...  That may explain a few things.

To be fair, my cats came along literally decades after my initiation into the occult.

Quote from: Shasarak;1116960I thought they removed his credit to pander to the SJWs?

They removed Zak's credits. Me and all the other consultants were just collateral damage so he couldn't sue them.

I have no idea. They can try to erase history in Stalin-esque fashion, but it doesn't change what everyone knows.
