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 just had to post this from Evil Hat:

"Every day our Black customers, artists, designers, and industry colleagues face the fear of being killed by those sworn to protect and serve. A fear that any random traffic stop, trip to the store, or outing to the park can suddenly turn lethal. They face systemic oppression, financial discrimination, reduced opportunity, and a ruling white society poisoned by hundreds of years of bigotry."

Can I get a link for that? (or some more explanation)

I'd change the category names to Woke, Grovel, Just Wanna Grill for God's sake, and Based.

Quote from: Aglondir;1065196Sine Nomine isn't a major publishing house, but both the quantity and quality seem like it. So far he's avoided the Eye of Sjauron.

I recall them putting out a statement that said something to the effect that right wingers should f off and not play their game (SWN), but I can't find anything about it now. It was probably around 2016.

That doesn't sound like Kevin Crawford at all. Are you maybe thinking of Posthuman Studios (Eclipse Phase) telling everyone who believes in men's rights to go away and not buy their game?

You're right, it was Posthuman Studios and Eclipse Phase. My mistake.

Blinks. Did they really go that moronic?

I think answering you would get us thoroughly into the political-not-RPG territory that the Pundit would like us to avoid.

When Google Groups was a thing the Fate group was a pretty SJW place. I remember when Groups was shutting down there were concerns over migrating to MeWe or some other platform because it allowed "right wingers" to exist there. Fate is a game that draws in SJW's more than your normal RPG. I don't recall if Fred himself posted SJW content in the group or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Asshat (oops, evilhat) productions has no problem making money off of HP Lovecraft while simultaneously shitting all over him for their terrible Power Rangers/Terminator/Cthulu Mashup.
Your Forgotten Realms was my first The Last Jedi.

If the party is gonna die, they want to be riding and blasting/hacking away at a separate one of Tiamat's heads as she plummets towards earth with broken wings while Solars and Planars sing.

Yep, just as WotC has no trouble making money off the "racist" legacy of Gary Gygax et al.

Quote from: Armchair Gamer;1140173DCC is one of the few games where the advertising copy actively repulsed me. :)

What about the advertising copy put you off?  I have no opinion one way or the other about the game itself, I'm just curious.

The "You're not a hero" opening and the following text. My sympathies are decidedly with the heroic side of fantasy; the 'mercenaries and ne'er-do-wells' so beloved by DCC and the OSR aren't my cup of tea. Nothing against those who prefer that approach, but it's not to my tastes.
