SPECIAL NOTICE
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). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

What Would theRPGsite's own RPG be Like?

Quote from: RPGPundit;968384Just for the record I have absolutely no intention of making an "RPGsite RPG".  The thread was purely meant for amusement purposes.

But still. You have to admit the magazine thing is a good idea. Such a great candidate for the theRPGSite award for excellence!

Quote from: J.L. Duncan;967110It's 4am here and I got the best idea. I win, game over.

TheRPGsite shouldn't produce an RPG... It's should produce a magazine. The Mad Magazine of RPGs. It would focus on gamer articles, social issues, politics (all of which relate to the hobby) and of coarse RPG reviews and a host of other shit that I can't think of right now. But really this is the strength of this forum and it's members. Start quarterly, get an illustrator to do a strip, which pokes fun at everyone here and on the internet... crowdfunding scammers etc. there is a wealth of those.

Parody and the like, and people will love to hate it.

Isn't this essentially what YDIS was? Except it took pokes at both the left and right, including the Pundit himself?

I saw that "Your Dungeon" site...it's sometimes funny in a vicious Schadenfreude way but largely seems to be scatological rather than satirical or parodic, so not really humor in the vein of Mad.

That wasn't a 'humor' site, it was a trolling site by people who despised the OSR. Claiming they're like Mad Magazine would be like if I started a 'lighthearted comedy site' about the Forge.  They didn't "take a poke" at me, you ass, they engaged in open libel and attempted defamation for the purpose of trying to drive me out of the hobby.

But luckily you laughed it off and drove yourself smack dab into the midst of the OSR whether they like it or not!

Should I have said 'shit all over'?

I didn't see anything libellous, to be libel doesn't it have to be believable? And it mostly seemed to be restricted to claiming you were gay, which is juvenile but not exactly libellous. But I never read everything on there and it was pretty unhinged so I assume you must be talking about some harsher stuff, like the BS Fail Forward claims?

Never was convinced that YDIS hated OSR. Some remarks on that site showed a rather deep understanding of old school D&D and OSR output.

I always thought it was somebody inside the OSR.

That's not exactly impossible, since Pundit can make people feel strongly about him:D!

OTOH, what is "deep understanding" to one person, is "an unfortunate part of my life" to others. People that tried old school games and had a bad time with them because it wasn't the kind of game they enjoy might come to hate Pundit even more easily than OSR people;).

Me too.  Although for the record, I have no idea who it is.  (I've been a target, although to nowhere near the extent that others have.)

Just read a lot more from that site than I intended. Leaving aside the impossibility of being driven from a hobby, it certainly was mean-spirited and not very funny. He certainly hates Arrows of Indra and Pundit. But his real invective was saved for Raggi and Malislewski (probably spelled that wrong). Being so juvenile, it would be a tall order for it to rise to the level of libel or defamation. Anyone can see it's just bullshit invective, and not all that creative at that.

Though the "guest article" by Maliszewski was quite funny and on point, if you knew Grognardia's writing at the time.

Most of it wasn't funny but it clearly was trying to be funny. The 5e PHB errata made me laugh.
