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.

Nobody outside of this hugbox believes that the members the rpgsite repeatedly running cover for nazis is the fault of anyone but the users of the rpgsite. Nice attempt at damage control, though.

Seriously, memes are your evidence and excuse for Demanding "X" be done to somebody It is a good thing you are absolutely nobody, don't matter, and never will. do tell, what "Punishment" do you think Nu-Tsr deserves? let us put a face on your brand of nonchalance cowardice.

I am 50. I missed World wars 1 and 2 by 40/80 years each. I have not seen a "nazi", and I am absolutely certain that SJWs haven't either.
They don't know the meaning of the words they are trained to spew, they are just like clapping seals.
Like the "Boy who cried wolf" the words have lost all meaning and don't provoke anyone outside of Fist range.
Accuse someone of those things face to face? and you will eat those words...

EDIT: which brings to mind the following question; why hide behind a Keyboard and sockpuppet accounts?

I haven't demanded anything be done to anybody. Feel free to post proof to the contrary. I'm just stating the obvious. That Dave Johnson is an anti-Semitic, racist POS.

Also, my offer to have this account's IP checked by the staff is a standing one. This is the only account I have, or have had here. Again, feel free to post any proof otherwise.

How difficult would it be to make a ripoff of Star Frontiers? Given the preponderance of scifi tropes, it shouldn’t be too difficult to make something that provides a similar experience with the serial numbers filed off.

For example, this artist redesigned some of the races: https://androidarts.com/RPG/StarFrontiers.htm

Also, Star*Drive and Galactos Barrier had some interesting ideas that could be recycled too.

You wear a clown costume but insist that people take you seriously. Your clown license has a registration number? Nobody cares about magic internet numbers.

The internet has been around for 30 years and trolling is well understood at this point. Loneliness and social isolation suck and some people only have the internet as an outlet, so it's understandable.

Aside from being one of the first westerns in space, or whatever it is, what's unique about it now given that we have so many other games available in this genre? Is there anything more than nostalgia here?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you know somebody's got nothin' when they resort to the ol' armchair psychologist routine.

IIRC Strange Stars does this, not sure how well it does it if I'm correct.

The hardest part is filling the numbers off. Assuming you want a clone so close to it as possible.

You don't have to take my word for it. There have been loads of studies and it's obvious to any layperson who looks into it. Loneliness is a big driver. There's no shame in being lonely. You want attention and you get it here. It doesn't take a psychologist to notice that. If more people showed you compassion instead of getting riled up, you'd stop. I've seen it many times.

Greetings!

Members of RPGSITE "Run cover" for Nazis? Really now? Who? Where? How?

In more recent times, the website has seen a few increasingly unstable racist wannabes, of which they were promptly and unceremoniously banhammered. I can't imagine anyone here having any sympathy whatsoever for actual Nazis.

I wonder why Tubesock doesn't have anything better to do with his time than to be an internet troll and agent provocateur?

Tubesock's whole shtick is just tiresome and sad.

Semper Fidelis,

Greetings!

Yes, Abraxus, IGNORE is a useful function, found under the instructions GeekyBugle provided. I haven't in the past used the Ignore function myself, though it increasingly becomes more attractive to use for certain people.

I hope you are doing well! I haven't seen you around here much recently. It's always good to see your discussion and contributions.

Semper Fidelis,

Nostalgia is probably the reason. Tabletop gamers are very nostalgia-driven and will stay with properties solely out of that feeling even if it becomes unrecognizable. They're very selective in their nostalgia too and will have nostalgia for versions of their favorite game that only existed in their heads. They'll ignore genuine absurdities in their fav games that they wouldn't tolerate elsewhere.

I speak from experience. It's a toxic mindset that poisons you. I broke out of it and now I'm critical of nostalgia and these old properties. IMO, we should make new games with the benefit of hindsight and all the technical innovation that has happened since. We should embrace a diversity of settings rather than let monopolies hold sway.

Ok, I'll have to check that out. Thanks.

Anyway, I think it's very easy to do that for scifi. e.g. http://jbr.me.uk/exo/ Most of the aliens are just based on terrestrial species or combinations thereof turned into alien species.

And to be entirely honest, since WotC isn't using these properties they're probably not going to pursue ripoffs. For example, they didn't go after that random guy who took the Alternity trademark from under their nose.
