I understood, I just thought there are a lot blogs out there, probably a ton I've never run across, and a list of which pontificate and which do not would be useful if one existed.

I mean you could make one, but they're just blogs. They're usually pretty obvious if they're wokescolds or not, and it's not like you pay for access. Think we made a special exception for Tenkar just for being so popular and also a community hub.

Although having a simple directory of communities that aren't wokescolds might not be a bad idea, I wouldn't really rate them as much as just sort them by purpose. Game finder groups, hangouts etc with links to their websites/discords/social media etc. It would be another project and i'll be honest, this list here was already a hell of a lot of work so i dont know if it's something im going to do any time soon. Although it would help people who have been essentially blacklisted from the largest groups like TBP, EnWorld, D&D facebook group, etc find new hangouts.

Stumbled onto The Yellow King RPG and saw that Pelgrane needed more list citations.
The first book in the collection, Paris, has:

Some more from Pelgrane.
QuoteTimeWatch isn't a simulation; racism and sexism may be rampant throughout history, but they're no fun whatsoever in a roleplaying game unless that's a historical issue you're specifically looking to address.
Playing devil's advocate here, I'm a little mixed on this. It's like how the Society for Creative Anachronism doesn't try to replicate ALL the aspects of medieval life. I don't think it's entirely necessary to replicate the worst parts of an era in a game that's supposed to be fun (remember, we're doing this for FUN, right?).

Further research is needed, I think.


The point is this scum only have two choices with European settings or settings based on legend or literature full on Intersectional Marxist utopia or Intersectional Marxist propaganda.  As usual with leftest doublethink it is also ok to have a setting where ever white/European has been killed or never existed in the first place.

What kind of nagging nanny state mental disorder do these people have? Not only do they have pages upon pages of "safety" tools, they have a little snippet of advice on how the GM should schedule sessions. You know, like pick a time that works for everyone? Fucking hell.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin

It also used to be a crime, IIRC.

  When what you're sharing is the truth, the precise term is detraction.

It seems it's OK to have an RPG where the PCs are members of an evil secret police force responsible for mass executions and repression as long as the pc's have certain backgrounds or gender.

It doesn't read to me that having "certain backgrounds or gender" is required in the game to be a rat bastard and member of a murderous secret police. It's saying that an organization of murderous rat bastards has no problem including all sorts of folks. Not my type of game, and I'd never play it. Would it rate a yellow for being virtue signaling for the specific call out it makes, or is that the game just making sure players understand that the evil organization isn't bound by the same social conventions that the rest of society is?

Ghostmaker

I'm kind of mixed on this.

On one hand, yes, a secret police force is going to use all sorts, and if they have some form of deviancy that's not always a problem. That sort of thing makes a great way to control such persons ('do this task or your behavior will become public knowledge').

On the other hand, ahahahaha, bet the wokeists are going to flip over the idea of 'marginalized people' being part of a ruthless secret police force.

I don't think anyone has a problem accepting that any crime you care to name will have some number of people who are members of a minority group that engage in that specific criminal behavior.  Generally, the focus is on addressing the GENERALIZATION that if a single person commits a crime (say Terrorism) that everyone who shares a trait with them (say Muslim Faith) is also a Terrorist. 

But no SJWs will care about this game because 'roll 3d6' and 'roll 1d6+4' are lame.

I'm not even sure how often true SJWs play TTRPGs. I am guessing Rule 3 probably applies. Same with many of the hardcore anti-SJWs out there.

Why game with friends when you can chase that sweet sweet Twitter fix?

This is an odd thing, with the secret police and the varied character types... it's not squaring with anything sensible... unless there's a secret about the police being anarchists, or??
