Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

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.

Waterdeep and all D&D Settings Must Be Just Like 2018 Seattle OR ELSE!

Quote from: KingofElfland;1057404DCC is Joseph Goodman's baby of Goodman Games, not Mike Mearls'. And Goodman Games have, as yet, eschewed political preaching in their games while letting their authors and artists be up front about their personal politics. Which, I think, is a classy row to hoe.

Doesn't Goodman Games use William McAusland's art? Austland's own game, Mutant Epoch is filled to the brim with rape references (look at their Pitford guide--every hotel/hostel/bar has some random chance of sexual assault, and then the brothels have some interesting details too) that would no doubt trigger a SJW within 10 pages. It's still a fun game though, and I've used Pitford as a Mos Eisley replacement on a pirate controlled world in Star Wars to great effect.

I love it.

Waterdeep ain't anything like Seattle 2018.  It's got more gay representation in the first two chapters than a local Starbucks, and a Trans Druid.

Can I rant for a sec?  Thanks.

WHAT THE FUCK IS A BLOODY DRUID DOING WITHOUT A GENDER/SEX?  They're about NATURE, and transgender is NOT NATURAL, which is different than wrong, but that's not the point of this.  Secondly, as a follower of Corellon who is neither gender, to have the UNMITIGATED GALL AND SHEER EGO of trying to be as genderless as a deity?  One that kicked the elves out?  Ego much?  Fala is lucky Corellon doesn't smite their presumptous ass into a fine powder and give to Mielikki or probably more appropriately Rillifane Rallathil to dust the crops!  Fucking hell, do they even care about their setting?  Or just raping it to fit their bigoted ideology???

And what freakin' year is it?  You speak of spellplague and spell fire and Laeral having been the Open Lord and in the same breath you speak of Mirt The Merciless, as if he's the original, despite the cheesy reason as to why Durnan is immortal, he should be DEAD! He's a human former thief!  And the fuck with all 18 physical stats for an obese man?  And his wife, from Second edition, just recently died?  What, she was secretly an elf?  Not according to your lore!

Oh, and speaking of Durnan, do you even read your own bloody lore?  The man was known as 'The Thinking Man's Barbarian', fine you want to make him an asshole who murders his clientele, whatever, but an 18 Strength and Constitution does not look like the rat-faced rogue on the cover of Tales From The Yawning Portal, that fool couldn't lift a bloody D&D greatsword much less swing it.  If anything, he should look like an aged Conan with short hair!  Fucking hell, people.  Read your stuff!  You're all over the damn time line!

Bloody hell.

In fairness, transgender is natural for clown fish and other sequentially hermaphroditic species, but then again it isn't exactly natural for a human being to transform into a clown fish (let alone a tree, or a dinosaur).
D&D druids aren't about nature though. D&D druids are about NATURE!!1

You were having a good run there, a streak of 6s, maybe even a 7, but alas it seems to have fizzled out.

As opposed to the nut gallery.

I would be quite happy to discuss our political differences elsewhere, but here is not the place.

Quote from: Gagarth;1057196Where is it stated that you have to make non-political posts and who made you the gatekeeper of this forum.

Take a look at the top of the page, where it says Rules.
"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.

So talking about the topics related to game settings and other things mentioned in the OP video: Ok.
Getting sidetracked into non-gaming related political generalizations and basically shitting up one of Pundit's threads: Surprised you guys haven't been warned by a mod already.
