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.

The Tentacles in this adventure do not see color, race, nationality, sex, or gender.  They are blind, therefore they are fair.  You see, in the end everyone dies.

So they are racist sexist and transphobic?  :o

The old ones bring the equity of the crushed scorched gnawed and partially dissolved skull fragment tumbling endlessly in tortured space, revealed to no mortal eye, yet chilled by the Tindalic alien light that comes at strange angles from the fulminous emptiness that staggers shambolically in a loathsome parody of some idiot dancing mournfully between the uncaring stars.

I can see it now, Twitter cancellations will officially be an effective banishment ritual.

OMG Nyarlathotep that is like so gross. You are such a chud. Yikes. And what's with the appropriating Egyptian names? If the old ones don't want to give people the wrong idea they need to cut ties with you.

We should just make all the monsters 'milk white' and we are good to go.

Cthulhu (who sounds like Nandor from What We Do in the Shadows) sends forth the PCs to find out what the fuck a "tweet" is, why he's losing followers at an unbelievable pace, and what he can do about it.

Massive interdimensional social media war between Cthulhu, who is completely caught with his britches down, and Hastur the Unspeakable (who caught onto this stuff because he was paying attention and not asleep under the ocean, and decided to be On The Right Side Of History to gain huge amounts of followers and became Hastur the Speaks Truth To Power). The Yellow Sign undergoes some color changes, still has the same effect. The King in Yellow becomes The Yaaas Queen. That sort of thing. Inclusive? Oh yes, we devour everybody.

Well, what is cosmic horror about, if it's not about the fact that the world can't handle certain beings being true to their truth?

It really is insufferable.

Listen to PoC voices unless they deviate from the party line. Predictable.

   His twitter looked exactly as I would have expected...BUT I did notice he seems to be against intervention in Ukraine, so even a broken watch can be right a couple times a day. I suspect once he realizes his "side" is now directed by raetheon, he will change his views once they are uploaded to him.

QuoteIn the game the original Mythos stories hinted at the truth, but it was obscured by their authors' biases and fallibilities.

Okay, so what happens if your pitch is "Cthulhu, but woke" and then one of your authors gets voted off Woke Survivor island?  I don't know anything about most of these contributors, but out of a dozen, somebody is going to do something cancel-worthy eventually.
