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.

Bringing to your attention: Spanish antifa-gamers took note of this thread, and apparently forgot I'm Latino and can read them.

They are super insistent that the publisher of Forbidden Lands (Free League) should actually be in the red. Though since they're all communists I wouldn't trust their word on it.

Do they have anything tangible to support this, or are they just 'trust us it's bad'!

That's freakin hilarious.

Also doing this to make it a bit easier to edit, I think we are almost ready for a final draft version at least in the sense of ready for stickying.

That levelup "committee" is pretty much the poster child for diversity and inclusion. Perfect. I know some rpg's might be good designed by committee......but this? Eh, who am I kidding. It's based on 5e, and with that "awesome" group working on it, it's gonna be terrific /s

Morrus from ENWorld transcribed the whole Ernie Gygax interview which unleashed the pitchfork mob on TSR.

https://www.enworld.org/threads/ernie-gygax-on-new-tsr-wotc-beefs-trademarks-licensees-5e-more.680877/

Their new product is Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition.  Tagline is "DIVERSITY. DEPTH. CHOICE" and amongst new classes it promises "A new approach to heritage; characters are a diverse lot" & "'Race’ separated into heritage and culture". Also a "Diverse team, cultural consultants, and representative content"

They hate the founders of the hobby and are after the Leftist market. Red list.

Yup ENWorld is red.

Anyone have any information on Ulisses Spiele, they have Fading Suns, Torg, Dark Eye, Adventuria and Myth. I did find however that Robert Adducci is their community manager, and he is about as far left as you can get. He is a bit more insidious because he doesn't overtly throw shade at people but he tends to be the one who actually hands out the bans and if you aren't woke enough, you're toast. He ran Adventurers League for D&D 5th edition and wizards of the coast, I wish I had some actual screencaps of this but unfortunately I'm speaking from first hand experience. They also work with other big names including Shane Hensley with Torg, CEO of Pinnacle, and one of the creators of the Dark Sun campaign setting. Overall I kind of want to put them as yellow until I hear more but really they could go either way.

Also just finished inappropriate characters episode it pretty much hit a lot of what I was going for right on the head. I should mention the reason if some of the reasons seem kind of short or missing anything it is because I'm actually learning of a bunch of new companies and creators from this thread. Some are new, and have been mentioned in the thread with a good reason I went ahead and just added em in based on suggestions and comments in the thread. Like when I initially made this post I never heard of Autarch (ACKS). As for the order the names are in, there really isn't any order I put em in as they came to mind or upon discovery, though I was considering reordering them alphabetically or something. So no, they aren't in any meaningful order at the moment.

Remember posthuman studios shitting on mens rights advocacy? It's been a while but I doubt they got better with time.

“Precis Intermedia: Makers of the Genre Diversion System and a publisher of any other games. Never seen anything woke from them, and the owner seems like a really cool, level-headed guy"

I’m starting to take offense, as I’m actually an asshole.  ;D

So I just checked out delta green in more detail, which a lot of those accusations are misleading at best or debunked but okay let’s just ignore that. Look at this assholes Twitter https://mobile.twitter.com/drgonzo123

This is the creator of delta green. Here we have him telling people not to buy his book, celebrating the death of conservatives if they happen to die of covid, and pretty much just nothing but shitting on conservatives and going on anti American rants. Yeah fuck this guy he’s solidly on red.

If you can't see the humor in anti-vaxxers/anti-maskers dying of preventable/survivable diseases to "own the libs", I don't know what to tell you. That will never not be funny.

   Hopefully they can die laughing knowing there was only a 99.5 percent they would survive their infection.

Stop with the politics and keep to the topic.
