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.

Who made you hire a sensitivity kommisar? If it was DTRPG I think I might selfpublish elsewhere just on principle.

Interested in the answer as well, but I doubt it was DTRPG. Too many products of varying scale, right?

IF it turns out a publisher is now requiring sensitivity readers, two things. First, like cockroaches, where there is one there are or will eventually be many.. And second, and again if this is a publisher's requirement, I'm sure someone around here predicted this. Would be interesting if anyone has a saved receipt...

Well, if it was a publisher it belongs on the red list.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

I had to hire a sensitivity reader for approval.


Just tell the TWAT that said this that when you find a medieval era Arab you will ask him to be a sensitivity reader. Until then they can STFU!

In this case I brought up the experts I spoke to and they become very quite. Thankfully this was well over a few years ago.
