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 mean if quasi-3,5 is your deal, then honestly I think there is still a lot of cool stuff to use, and rainbow brigade shit can be quite easily cleaned of.
Ultimately it's still power-creeping, tactical skirmish RPG based around elaborate builds.

So just downloaded Elderbrain's Torrents of the Spellhoarder. Under the new subclasses they have the College of the Siren "The College of the Siren embraces the glamorous world of drag, where
performers exude confidence, charm, and creativity." With a picture of a Dwarf in Drag. Haven't read the entire thing yet, but this definitely goes in the Yellow at least.

Has nobody told them yet that drag queens are nothing more than perverse men who wear women's clothing to get a sexual kink from it?

I think that all the brainwashing and fear of speaking out has made a lot of these leftists unaware of that. Or they are just plain stupid to think that letting such freaks near children is in any shape or form a good idea.

Thanks for taking a hit for the team! As you suffer the rest of us can be spared!

So I know from The List that Monte Cook is woke as fuck, but are the Numenera/Cypher system books infected with the woke mind virus? If it's good and not woke, then I'd consider buying them used so Cook doesn't get any money, but obviously if the books of woke shit in it then I wouldn't take them for free...

Don't avoid them for the woke.  Avoid them because the system is peak Monte Cook (i.e. absolute dogshit).

It's a good system and it's fantastic to run.  I don't recall much woke in the materials, beyond the occasional gay or lesbian couple NPCs.  I'm betting there's more in Old Gods of Appalachia, but I haven't read too far in it.

Possum Creek Games should go in red.  Here's their mission statement.  It talks about the liminality of Queerness.

That whole site is a veritable treasure trove of woke bullshit, from the preferred pronouns of the staff to their "game" featuring a black woman samurai with pink hair.

On the other hand aren't they too low profile for Red?

They aren't very well known in OSR circles for obvious reasons.  Some of their stuff like Wanderhome and Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast are fairly well known in the woke storygame crowd.  The crowdfunding campaign for Yazeba's got $338,109.  The one for Wandergome got $306,511.  Besides, Monkey House Games isn't exactly a household name either.

Hell, the first bold items gives it away, "We want to be more than a publishing company."

Anytime I see that I read "We pretend to be a publishing company to get your money under false pretenses while doing something else."  At this point in life I don't care what the something else is, even if I agree it should be done, because I'm sick of people effectively stealing from me.

I get the idea behind that, however if we're leaving off the apolitical companies, then wouldn't that apply to Troll Lord Games and the Basic Fantasy one as well?  And then what good would this list be as a guide?

The owner of BFRPG claims to not want politics involved but when the woke demanded he answer for an unapproved person promoting his game (the host of Clownfish TV on YouTube) he asked that person to no longer talk about his game.

"I want vocal fans but only from 'approved' people" is at least Yellow IMHO.

What the fuck is "liminality of queerness"? Are these people just stringing words together to sound cool?

And then there's this:

Jay Dragon (no pronouns)

...blah blah bio stuff...

Here is a style guide for using Jay's pronouns in speech.

Really? These people are insufferable. They love the smell of their own farts and they desperately want everyone else to enjoy them, too.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry
