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.

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: tenbones;1100742What's the point of parodying something that already is an inadvertent parody? Make a good game. You seem to *want* to engage with these people on their level.

I think these games look... really bad. BUT! that's my personal tastes. If it makes them happy, let them play their games. You want to spend your time and creative energy *in direct* relation to them - that's up to you. I say go make a GOOD GAME that you want to play and run. Unless of course you have the most fun playing parodies of crappy games as the best investment of your time and effort.

It kinda sounds like you're into "revenge gaming". I see little point in that.

Revenge Gaming?

I honestly never looked at it like that.

When you put it that way, it is pretty fucked up of me to try that and I would not enjoy it one bit.

The whole Insectionalist/SJW movement  has fuck all to do with equity it is all about revenge and if they win the straight/cis/white allies will go to the guillotine like the rest of us.

I would play GOONS. Maybe even run it as a one-shot. Hell if I know why it qualifies as SWORD*DREAM.

Imagine creating an account on a "problematic" messageboard just to bump a 5 month old thread and make that many spelling and grammatical errors in the process. Are you the kind of person who texts their highschool sweetheart 20 years later at 3AM to tell them how badly you were treated at prom?

EDIT: SORRY, year and a half old thread...keep forgetting it's 2021 already.

Quote from: Theory of Games;1090297You should all know White Liberals are more Woke than Black people in regards to Racism.

Whites are the new 'standard' for racial activism. Obviously, black & brown people are fkn lames.

So-called minorities need whites to explain how they may or may not be oppressed, even with RPGs.

Baizuos shouldering the new white man's burden

This has been going on since the start. White people speaking for the children, the women, the blacks (all other minorities are an afterthought.) , the handicapped.

And they do it every iteration and pretty much the same stepping stone of progression and oppression.

Currently blacks are yesterdays broken stick and now the monkey has found a new one, handicapped people, as the new stick to play with till its broke. Or someone finally takes it and stabbs them in the eyes with it.

and yeah, oops, thought this was a new thread on an old subject.

Short answer is no, it isn't. No products advertise themselves as Sword Dream, and only one even mentions itself as possibly Sword Dream - the free "BadAss Basic RPG".

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/320068/BadAss-Basic-RPG

There was one adventure ("Bone Marshes") pitched as "Sword Dream" at the bottom of the post below, but it doesn't advertise itself as Sword Dream in its own description.

https://www.technicalgrimoire.com/david/2019/06/SWORDDREAM

So I think this can safely be called "not a thing".

This just proves what we already knew to be fact: none of these people has a modicum of creativity, talent, or drive to actually PRODUCE anything of value. All they can do is look at an existing product, tell you what's wrong with it and why it's morally reprehensible and DEMAND you "fix" it to meet their laughably stupid criteria.

Also pretty much seals the deal about how much time we should spend on entertaining their delusions.

I don't care if they make a game about oppressed baristas fending off politically-incorrect customers, or whatever.  More power to 'em, if someone wants to buy that.

It's the whole "if you're not part of SWORD REAM, you're a fascist!" thing.  I mean, come on.   ::)
