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.

Quote from: Omega;1102807Yeah he's gotten gradually more SJW/Virtue Signalling. Still overall small stuff but it gets annoying to hear this same damn tired line of falsehoods over and fucking over by these woke morons. It detracts from his otherwise often fairly entertaining pieces and why I look up his stuff less and less.

I'm gonna write my own RPG! With trans people and 3rd wave feminists!

You know what? Forget the RPG!

Quote from: Mistwell;1102760I sometimes think Matt would fit in well on this message board by the way. He thinks like a lot of us think. Probably because he's gamed since 1e.

He's said he used to post on them all the time back in the 3e days.
Battle doesn\'t need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don\'t ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don\'t ask why I fight.

Quote from: Mistwell;1102760I agree. I don't watch his videos often so I am glad Shasarak highlighted this one. This is a great video. Role playing is not doing funny voices. Always speaking in funny voices, even when it's you the player asking the person who is the DM a question, is weird. Adding a third dimension to your character is fun and makes the game more interesting. I am glad he made this video, and I hope a lot of people watch it. Particularly the guys watching Critical Role and similar shows.

Yeah, I was surprised. I went in with a cynical mindset, but after a few minutes it grew on me. I don't think there's anything groundbreaking in the video-- most of us have already explored this territory before. But he's got a talent for putting a fresh face on the familiar, and of making you think about the old things in new ways.

Matt Colville. Has anyone heard how his million dollar RPG Kickstarter is doing? Did he deliver the goods on time, and finish with grace. or is this one of them semi-fraudulent take the money and run kind of gamer deals?
Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.

I find it a bit distracting, and I don't think he'd enjoy this site - it's actually the more aggressive and/or argumentative Lefties who enjoy posting here. Overall I enjoy Colville's work and I don't think he's a bad person, he isn't attacking/trying to hurt other people. But he has developed a skewed perspective, likely because of the prevailing milieu.

It did not finish on time (probably because first time kickstarter trying to do books and minis and T Shirts and streaming) but, as far as I know, it is now done.

He is now prepping for the next one (Kingdoms & Warfare) because once you start you got to keep on feeding the beast.

Just mention TRUMP to him and see what he does. That's always a good test to see if people are unhinged.

Delays but it got done. Everyone is happy now.

Heh. Probably an apt representation of how Trump voter views society at large (around here, anyway).

Same here. It detracts. But I think he might fit in here. Or run screaming. Who knows.
And while he isnt attacking anyone directly. He is promoting and perpetuating this nonsense on those, so far, rare times it rears its ugly head.

A few reviewers I used to follow on YT I have just about stopped as they just have to insert some virtue signal in every vid now and it just gets really old after a while.

It all went fine AFAIK, and the book is available.
