There is a new TTRPG bundle of over 200 games for $5 by over 200 TTRPG creators to raise money for "Reproductive Rights" in an effort to stop the potential overturn of Roe vs. Wade with all proceeds going to The National Networ for Abortion Funds and Planned Parenthood.

These murdering scumbags do not mention the rights of the child anywhere, nor do they show any concern for unborn babies whatsoever.  Disgusting.  Boycott these sick people and their games!

Are the games any good? That's my #1 concern when looking at dropping money on games. The politics don't matter to me.

They all look like dogshit.

I don't buy any of these charity bundles for the simple reason that they're all virtue signaling bullshit without any serious thought on the subject by any of the authors.  Best case, you get some misguided do-gooder. Worst case, you get something like the BLM bundle a few years ago. Anyone with any common sense could see that they were nothing but grifters.  When called on it, we were pooh-poohed, but we see the truth finally come to light where they were proven to be grifters...

Agreed. Just virtue signaling trash.

I bought the trans bundle because it had a few good titles, but there was a lot of dross in there too (I think I only downloaded about 6 or the titles).

I'm currently sifting through what this bundle offers. So far I find it lacking. Either too many odd RPGs that are not really RPGs in the trad sense (or some beta versions). I don't want a beta of any game.

But for five bucks it might be worth a punt.

I don't want my $$ funding this stuff.

Not even the -1970s Abortion Activist LARP?' I kid you not....

I think there was one rpg about neolithic Chinese myths that I may have browsed as it is a setting that could be interesting and I haven't seen before.

Most of the rest look like trash anyway. A boycott is unnecessary, in the same way it's unnecessary to boycott asbestos.

If I want to support a cause, I will support a cause. If I want a good game, I will buy what I think is a good game and supplement my purchase if it was good. I like my entertainment apolitical, and so I hate activist companies because at best I am funding a behavior I disapprove off, politicizing entertainment, and at worst current issues start to bleed into a game about pretend elves.

Amen...  Same for me.

Yes.

I don't care what side of a political issue a creator of entertainment products is on personally, but as soon as they use the materials to make a statement I won't be buying anything from them ever.  This includes when our compass is generally aligned.

  I've been going through that list of games and their very brief overviews.  Wow, that is a lot of solo-journal rpgs about heartbreak.

Not for me, but to each their own. Never could maintain a diary, let alone several as a game.

They're selling a Margaret Sanger Party Bundle?

In her honor, does a black baby get mutilated every time you roll a crit? Or whenever you roll the dice?

Should these RPGs be primarily played in impoverished black and brown communities as that's where Planned Parenthood is mostly located?

Racial segregationists just wanted races to live apart, but the modern leftist needs an uninterrupted black baby blender! Apparently, Moloch increased his monthly demand for tribute.

As for politics in RPGs, I want ZERO. I don't want MY politics in a RPG, let alone anyone else's politics. They just don't belong in games and most certainly don't belong in group social activities like RPGs.

But if leftists want to ensure they don't have any children, Sun Tzu would recommend we don't stand in their way.
