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.

Putting this here as I found it interesting for the red herring speculations.

What's this about me not knowing what the Satanic Panic of the Eighties was? Of course I knew about it. We had Christian youth pastors visiting school when I was a teenager hosting talks about how D&D was bad. We'd go and heckle the guy.

Cheers,

No one even knew what the Satanic Panic was in my area of New Zealand.

Then again hardly anyone even knew what Dungeons and Dragons was either.

We would like to have had more women in our games. Most acted like we were lower than pond scum. Gays and trans in the 1980-early 2000s many were either in the closet and pretended to be straight for fear of being socially ostracized.

Pic sure go find one when the majority of students in my school were white. Better to be victims than blame other real causes.

Got me musing on my 2e gaming group in the 90's:

1 30-something woman
1 middle-aged gay guy
1 middle-aged brother of the gay guy
1 20-something gay guy
1 transgender person, late 20's
1 black/asian guy, early 20's
1 black/mexican ex-marine, mid 50's
1 80-year-old retired mechanic
1 12-year old kid

and me.

Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."

I just caught something about Gallant Knight Games (yellow).  While they may have some woke-ish leanings, they also published Larry Correia's Monster Hunters International RPG.  Correia is outspoken in his anti-wokeness, so I was pleasantly surprised to see this.

Yeah, there's a problem with how the list is formulated. Not enough detail. Really more companies should be in the Yellow with notes explaining pros and cons of a company. Schwalb Entertainment should be Yellow, Necrotic Gnome should be Yellow, and if those are Yellow it isn't as odd that Galant Knight Games is also Yellow.

Are websites fair game? RPG[dot]net (which handles PbP too) has some of the following as ACTUAL rules on posting:

• Users aren't allowed to defend police if a shooting involved a minority (guilt be damned)
• Posts praising Donald Trump will be removed and the user suspended
• Character bios that use phrases like "a typical dwarf" will result in a warning
• Questioning the ruling of a female GM results in a warning
• Liberal use (pun intended) of "problematic content" in the rules without clear definition of what that is... so basically picking sides, because I personally find the majority of these arbitrary rules "problematic"

Abandon all sanity, ye who enter here.

As a self-defense instructor, I tell people not to go to bad places or hostile environments. For 'mental' self-defense, I'd say the same thing. Don't go to shitty places online and especially ones run by the Gestapo. ;)
