I'm not woke either yet I play Call of Cthulhu, Traveler and Cyberpunk, life is a lot more simple if you can separate the art from the artist and those companies in particular were never over the top like some other examples on the list but to each their own I guess.

The line is different for everyone, so no hate on you if you still pick up those products. 

Me, I play CoC...using rules from another game.  I play Cyberpunk...using a rules set that a friend of mine and I created.  So, I still enjoy them, but I don't give those companies money.

I bought a lot of games from a company that went red.  Even though I'll never buy from them again, I can still play and enjoy what I already bought.

I think I actually have the whole Chaosium catalogue from Call of Cthulhu, not saying that I'm not worried that they will make a full turn to woke retardness since there are already signs here and there but so far, it's limited to pronouns and some bullshit here and there, it helps that the fanbase is, overall, pretty damn based and antiwoke, so I would be content if they remained yellow.

I'm kinda ashamed to say that Vampire the masquerade was the game I started with so I had to built a thick skin regarding scummy creators, what can I say? I like the setting (except V5, fuck that).

Welp, 6SidedGames is apparently another one of the Wokies. Not sure how big of a company they are....

He even retweeted ye olde 'paradocks of taller ants' that leftists use to justify the complete physical destruction of anyone they don't like.  But honestly, the thread you linked there really takes the cake- flat out claiming that any fiction that depicts goblins (or anything) as pests worthy of extermination is racist?  I mean, he's not the first wokester to engage in that line of thinking, but it still gets me every time, even after a couple years of this nonsense.

Anyway his product seems new and its influence still small, but who knows what the future holds.

Never mind, probably too off-topic. Feel free to remove.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

He does play the newest editions of Traveller, CoC and CP Red - all which were printed after the companies went woke.  With Cyberpunk and CoC he started them before woke was really a think, but Traveller is a newer addition to his roster of games.

Speaking of which, Mongoose still needs to go yellow after publishing Shield Maidens.

Putting aside any political/social issues, I found Shield Maidens incredibly irritating over the whole Games Workshop-like paradigm that some companies are doing—"Our Basic Game is the best, most complete RPG on the market, all in one book. And for another $30, you can have a third character class on top of the two we put in the book! And for $30 on top of that, you can play a BOY!"

I don't know WHAT to call a game that literally discriminates on the basis of sex/gender by not even allowing one sex as characters at all. If it is not okay to limit certain backgrounds or certain professions/classes out of dozens to one or the other sexes, how in the hell is it okay to outright not include one?

It all makes sense once you realize they don't actually want the equality they profess, they want to bring back the 19th century, but with the sex and race dynamics flipped.

I vote that you make us either green or red - condemn us or exonerate us!

Not sure that is a GW thing, even in origination. Might say it is more of an RPG publisher thing? There are, obviously, exceptions but they might be the minority.

they want to bring back the 19th century

Our official position on this is that we do not want to bring back the 19th century. Does not look like an awesome time for most people.
