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.

Modiphius new Star Trek Adventures Gm and Players Guide definitely prove they need to stay in the red...

Just skimming the Players guide and in the first 22 pages came across such snippets as: "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are Paramount" pg.9, "A Safe Space in which to Explore" pg.22...

Fml just when I thought they weren’t complete cringe

GDI they are putting out a Quickstart for Homeworld (the video game) and there goes that purchase.

An rpg for Homeworld ? That's...is everyone playing frigates or something ? We really don't have much 'on the ground' knowledge of what is to be a Higaran exile fleeing Karak or a Taidan legionaire.

Goodman Games says their Dying Earth kickstarter is done being write-a-nated and headed to layout and they showed some early art some of which is kind of uninspiring 2d new age greeting card tarot type stuff; but alright.
Then they had this. Is this supposed to be a caricature of James 'Grim' Desborough?



Is this a pipe-clown 2.0 or did he do some work on Dying Earth and this is good natured ribbing?

I didn't see it as a caricature Grim Jim -- YMMV.

Got another one to submit to the list - strong red one in generic clothing
They want to make $ from the whole community but are WokeSkold "Hipsters of Hate" big time
"Brave New Worlds" - company that makes dungeon tiles
https://linktr.ee/BraveNewWorldsGames
"We offer professionally designed battlemaps for your TTRPGs and so much more!"





https://sta.sh/0g2i2fqvkv8

Main writer and obvious account holder of above



https://sta.sh/01vf0vhwcnmn

Took my bait and used all the buzzwords - "Open inclusiveness" assuming anyone not 100% in their politics is a racist, etc.



https://sta.sh/028kgpjhllnx

And really, I'm "Liberal" (old school influenced by Hippies, Yippies) just rabidly NOT "Politically Correct".  I can see the "Woke" for the hate cult they are.  These are "Subverters" who want to make MONEY off the community but are just woke extremists.  The "Rainbow unicorn Snowflakes" who want their "Safe Spaces" fine, they can play the game how they want.  But if they want rabid whatever the woke bleat about this week to be the new cannon, well I think adding to "The List" is good to warn people who are sick of paying them money.  Like Zweihander they'll pretend to be oh so Gwim and Dawk and edgy - but "Flames of Freedom" it's open any character can't own slaves despite being set in Revolutionary times...  At least the latter is on the list a long time.

And this is what they can't stand:



https://sta.sh/01vgv7l3cnhi

Some nice little neutral plaques I'm making for any comic, TTRPG, VideoGame to use - F--- the "Politcs" it's a LIE - the "Woke" that believe their sh... are nihilistic cultists and (IMO) the guys hiring them are doing a "Burn N Turn" with stock margin sales ala Gamestop, early 2021 and the snowflakes they hire are "Useful Idiots" - the "Inclusivity" is just for short term attention (boost) and long term ruing (bust to bet against company) and the CryBullies they hire adult babies to ride it into the ground and not be able to start anything of their own.

Note - I've linked the images and they don't seem to appear - sub-links to DA stash thing?  How DO you get images to work here?  I'd appreciate - the Help forum seems to suggest urls only since uploads don't work but many say neither do...  But I see some images linked... Again not complaining, I used to type bizzare HTML links all the time such as in Plastic (anyone remember that?)

Just reread the "humans" entry for my favorite fantasy RPG. It says they can range from pale white to almost black in skin color, but also come in blue, pink, and orange. They range from 3 to 7 feet in height and can weigh up to 500 lbs.

So, are they going a bit far into the fantasy here, or is the technicolor freakshow treatment?

I rather see what others think of this description of humans without mentioning the game and drawing in preconceived biases.

Some of these humans are orange Oompa-Loompas and some are blue-haired landwhales?

I'd want to hear the reason why humans are so varied. IRL, some rare folks have been at the extreme ends of height and weight, and come in many shades, but if your humans are THAT varied, why not use demihumans to fill those roles?  Seems more fitting to a post-apocalyptic setting, than a fantasy one, but...magic explains a lot, especially if it is chaotic in nature.

I think that we need more context.

7 ft tall and 5-hundo. Effectively Andre the Giant.

And would the game happen to be Empire of the Petal Throne?
