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.

It could be funny, if you didn't think everything was so serious. I know gloom and doom is the favorite drink around here, but honestly, the rigid orthodoxy risks becoming boring.

Are you really pretending that wokery isn't the orthodoxy now or that it isn't a rigidly conformist orthodoxy?  Has anyone ever been banned from this forum for being a "bad fit'?  It's pretty routine over at TBP where the woke orthodoxy rules.

I guess if you want to call it pretending. Certainly there is no rigid orthodoxy ruling my life.

So you are pretending that.  Are you not paying any attention or hoping that we aren't paying any attention?

You're assuming gender for an admitted Trans. I'm instead opting for the generic 'shit' (a conglomeration of she/he/it) henceforth for all who claim to be Trans.

So when I proclaim pawsplays to be a shit, it's not a slur, it's me being progressive.  ;D

So the proper pronoun is "Shit/Shits"???? Ok. Whatever it takes to be Diverse Equitable and Inclusive!

Is this how we play, now? You're just gonna call me shit, and you think that's two-legged discourse?

Also, I will recognize that this is a key thread for this site. Cluttering it up with unrelated insults and the like is kinda a potential problem. We've wandered pretty far off topic at this point, and Pundit will probably actually check this thread some time relatively soonish...

Hi folks,

did anybody check WH40k Imperium Maledictum from Cubicle7? Have you noticed traces of moral injunctions inside?

Pretty sure alcohol recs, assuming you're drinking while you game, are always on topic.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

I haven't read Imperium Maledictum, but one noticeable thing C7 did with Wrath and Glory is that many Adeptus Mechanicus members now use they/them pronouns. I would expect that to carry over into IM, too. I don't honestly know if C7 started it, but W&G is so far the first and only 40k material where I've encountered that. I'm hardly a 40k expert, though, so take that for what it's worth.

Okay, ty.

I'm not confident at all with C7. I'm used to WFRPG and there is a clear tendency here to ridiculous aestethic designs, at  least for european consumers. If they introduce direct moral lessons in their texts, I'd instant regret my purchase and I'd disregard the whole product line, so I prefer to be sure before I give them my money.

I see Cubicle 7 as solidly leaning left but not rabidly so. It also may depend a fair bit on just which writer is working on a particular book. The One Ring was perfectly fine, for example, even though I know people bitched about the game keeping the term "Men" to refer to humans.

I think a lot of the W&G material printed so far is fairly good, but then I'll run across the pronoun stuff or a trigger warning in an adventure. Given how crazy 40k is as a setting, it's fairly easy to gloss over or tweak minor stuff like that. Anyone needing a trigger warning probably shouldn't be playing 40k, anyway.

I'd expect Adeptus Mechanicus would want to use 'it' rather than 'they' because they want to be machines, not people.
