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.

A user who goes by the handle of Gradine over at another board said, "RPG Pundit and his crew are known quantities at this point, and Jim chose to appear on their podcast."

Pundit, do you have a podcast, and do you have a crew, and has you or your crew had Jim Ward appear on your podcast? News to me if that happened.

Ah OK thank you. Here I was looking for a podcast. Generally a video livestream isn't called a podcast. I sure don't think of the other members of that livestream as "RPG Pundits crew" either.

TSR 3.0 has now rebranded its website, misspelling it's own name in the process (I guess the email address is wunderfilled.com?)

I'm just waiting for them to put out a game.  It seems like something that a gaming company should do.

Yep. All this drama just makes me want to tune out. It's not even interesting drama anymore.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Is it supposed to be "Wonder-Filled" as in filled with wonder, or is it "wonder-filed" as in "Gee, I wonder who filed that cease-and-desist order"?

Based on the acronym (WFD), I assume it's Wonder File D.

It's about a vampire accountant who goes down a rabbit hole.

Someone elsewhere pointed out the company was an LLC, and now is calling themselves Incorporated. Which...violates corporations laws in all 50 states. It's a minor thing really, but another weird thing.

They're referring to Inappropriate Characters; the talk show I do with Venger Satanis and Jobe Bittman.
We interviewed Jim Ward here:

Or filed the serial numbers off of something else so no one can tell where it came from.

It's about a machinist who deburs workpieces and then spins around until she is suddenly wearing a heroic swimsuit.
