Good to see common sense still exists.

I don't trust Parler.  I do trust Bitchute.  If you want a Reddit replacement get Ruqqus as they don't even require your email.

Also Clownfish made one more video.

I can tell you it was never our intention to put Basic Fantasy or Chris Gonnerman in a bad position. I was looking for a streamlined D&D solution to teach my kids how to play, and had already grown frustrated with 5e long before I made the video.

Like Chris Gonnerman, I think there's a time and a place for political discussion, and the gaming table isn't necessarily it. This is why I have been so frustrated with WotC as they seem to believe politics should be front and center in gaming. Gaming should be an escape from the craziness going on in the real world right now. Unless, of course, DMs and players choose to incorporate that into their campaigns.

Like Chris Gonnerman, we identify as liberals. Knee jerk Twitter reactionaries who don't like our opinions try to paint us as "alt right" or some such nonsense. (I've never once voted Republican and Obama follows me on Twitter, for crying out loud.)

Given the crazy number of rando new accounts that commented on that video in defense of WotC, I have to wonder if he's gotten some "concerned" individuals coming to him behind-the-scenes with some half-truths or flat out lies about who we are and what the channel is about. (It's OK, Chris... we're used to it.)

A recommendation from wrong thinkers is the worst thing that can happen in these hobbies. You remember #MoveTheNeedle. Gonnerman disavowed right on schedule.

  Does that mean we should avoid promoting or recommending games here for fear of bringing them to the attention of the Lidless Eye?

I can't entirely blame them.  An honest liberal is something an SJW can't tolerate.  It reminds them of what they pretend to be but aren't.

I think your the first big youtube channel that went to the site in the open.  You got my respect for that and because of you I bought Basic Fantasy so thank you for that.  Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to theRPGsite! In a world gone mad, a handful of ragtag RPG enthusiasts set out to be themselves and actually play games...  That's our movie trailer. :-D This is largely the last place I feel comfortable posting or interacting. It's become a frightening "Stepford Wives" culture of overly-critical cancel-culture outrage targeted at any breathing creature not decked out appropriately in cult-approved couture.

In the classic words of some airman back in the day... "fuck 'em if they can't take a joke."

Hey, cool to see you here at the site! Welcome! And, uh, sorry about your getting slandered as alt right, from a fellow liberal. It's not fun and I'm not used to (read: numb to) it yet either.

You should look at the OSR my dude.

At least the shoutout seemed to help with their sales...

See? This is where you don't quite get it yet. You'd be surprised at how many of us here identify as "left of center" 90's era liberals. The problem, however, is that you (and we) are right of them. So much so that they literally can't distinguish the difference between "left of center" and actual fucking neo-Nazis. You are, therefore, alt-right (according to the retarded narrative these people push).

Anyway - if you'd never heard of some of the OSR retro games before, oh boy have we got some games to talk to you about! Basic Fantasy is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, mi amigo.

Quote from: S'mon;1137992BFRPG is cool, and with print-at-cost via amazon it's incredibly cheap, fantastic value for money.

It's $5 on Amazon. You could drop $30 and supply a full table with their own books. I prefer S&W:WB because I love the 0e rawness, but BF is a perfectly fine TSR retroclone. I've played it a few times and I've got no complaints.

Quote from: Arkansan;1138320Why should I continue to invest in a company I don't like?

For those of us sick of the retard nonsense, WotC does not deserve either our time or our money.

2020 isn't about Left vs. Right, Liberal vs. Conservative, Democrat vs. Republican.

It's Freedom vs. Tyranny.

What used to be "your side" wants you silenced for wrongthink and shamed so others don't dare speak out. "Our side" may not always (or ever) agree with you, but we always defend your right to voice your opinion.
