Green Ronin is Kickstartering a diverse, inclusive Mythos RPG, powered by AGE. Even the title tells the Great Old One becomes woke.

The fact they have to kickstart it speaks volumes.

What's the damned point of period pieces if you're just going to white wash everything with modern sensibilities and values?

How much more inclusivity do you need for "If the Old Ones wake, everyone dies,"?  ???

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

They are really trying hard to convince everyone that it's just fine to be utterly insane.

  in fairness, pretty much everyone but WotC and Paizo kickstarts nowadays; it's too handy for determining audience interest and getting guaranteed funding out of the gate.

  Well, it's designed for play at just about any time in what they call the "Weird Century" and I might call the Century of Madness (which I place from 1917 to the present, although the game starts in the 20s).

   I'm more struck by 'Why Cthulhu?' Is this hobby really so bereft of imagination and originality that we have to keep recycling the exact same tropes with only bolt-ons to make them conform to the ideological whims of the cults of Mammon, Astoreth, and Moloch?

   ::Looks around at present Western pop culture::

   Never mind.

Well.....it'll likely get funded and probably really well. But, there's already a fantastic Cthulhu game. This will ....maybe get played by some groups, but it's just more virtue signalling in my opinion.

Are the present games not inclusive enough? I can't imagine how. The rules never disallow you from playing a black lesbian or other minority. IIRC there weren't even rules for bigotry until a few years ago.

This should really come as no big surprise tbh.

We've already seen it from Fred hicks, Monte Cooke and now from the biggest wokie cokie, Green Ronin. it's all about the cash. It must sicken them that they have to ride of the coat tails of the unstoppable and totally woke free works of H.P. Lovecraft.

I love the irony, personally.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.... please sir, can we have some more? Sing for your supper, fuckers!  ;D

They're making a woke Cthulhu game, when a woke Cthulhu game is already one of the top five most popular RPGs in the world? What need is this serving?

I guess they do not find CoC woke enough. I mean after all CoC merely advise you can diminish presence of various past-time inequalities if they bother your players, rather than straight up order it and demand anyone with different opinion to NOT PLAY THEM.

Pronouns in bio, socialist (the rose is the signal), pro Burn Loot Murder, thinks some racial slurs are okay if aimed at white people...

Anyhow I wasn't planning on buying anything from woke runing anytime soon.
