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.

I'd like to be on the green list for my TTRPG, Radical High ( https://biggeekemporium.com/product/pg800123/ ).  I know that Ocule, the curator of the list, said that he's more open to including very indy game creators on the green list.  Ina world where corporate wokeism is a Goliath intent on crushing the little guy, I appreciate that. 
Creator of Radical High, a 1980s RPG.
DM/PM me if you're interested.

I figured Hutchings was a lost cause once he started talking about leaving Twitter for Mastodon and his depression in his update emails. Shame too, because I actually liked Thousand Year Old Vampire.

Do we have a stickied list of Not-Woketard Companies?

That's gonna be a short, but valuable list.

It's in the first post in the "Consumers Guide to TTRPGs" stickied thread (https://www.therpgsite.com/pen-paper-roleplaying-games-rpgs-discussion/consumers-guide-to-ttrpgs/).

I've been following Design Ministries for a while (Fragged Empires, Fragged Kingdom). Its founder, Wade Dyer, actually says on his Twitter that he doesn't want to talk about politics.

There was only ever one political post he made, and that was, by his own admission, something he felt very upset about. Other than that, he seems like a really solid, stand-up lad.

Definitely deserving of the Green spot!

I picked up a copy of this a few months back. Pretty neat little game, dude! I look forward to running both it and Skate Wizards for one-shots with my groups.

Do either of those even make RPGs?

Cephalophair Games will be publishing Gloomhaven: The Role-Playing Game, with an announced release date of April 2023.

Leder Games makes Root: The Role-Playing Game in collaboration with Magpie Games.

Exactly. I should have mentioned Magpie, since they are already on the red list.

Well, Kyle Brink, WOTC's Executive Producer thinks that WOTC needs to get rid of white guys as fast as possible.  I am starting to think we need a category beyond Red. :P

How up-to-date is the list in the first post? Because I can't help but notice that Kobold Press is both in the Yellow and the Red lists.

It's very out of date. The real list is linked from this post:

Whose manages that list? It does not seem very up to date either.

Maybe he could get help. It seems like an idea people really like, and I suspect he could get lots of volunteers.

Sorry updates have been slow, ive done a few quiet updates as stuff comes out think ill start putting the change log in the stickied post. Been updating it when i have time been having alot of IRL responsibilities that take priority.

Far as volunteers it was supposed to be a community project initially but it was quickly vandalized so I had to close it. I would definitely consider allowing volunteers to help keep it updated.
