Well, the woke localizers are now being pushed out in favor of AI translation. We warned them too, but they doubled and tripled down on their horseshit. The whole thing came to a head over Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and the shit dialogue inserted by Funimation woke asshole voice actors. And the fact it was over Lucoa (Quetzalcoatl) was even more ironic as she's objectively shown to be dense about how she walks around 'jiggling' and her utter lack of modesty.

Quote from: jhkim on May 21, 2024, 09:44:12 PMJaeger -- I'm not sure about your point regarding Christianity. Do you think that D&D should only portray strict Christian virtues in the normal and heroic people portrayed.

You're smarter than this John.

Quote from: jhkim on May 21, 2024, 09:44:12 PMI consider myself a Christian, but I'll go on record that I had sex with my wife long before we were married. That is clearly described as sin, but I don't lose any sleep over it.

You show that you already get it.

Because as much as you may try to equivocate, you know the truth in your heart; and you are not presenting your past sins as a something that should be seen as a universal good and normalized.

Quote from: jhkim on May 21, 2024, 09:44:12 PMI tend to have games that are generally in line with my values, but that doesn't mean my fictional worlds all have to conform to Christian laws. I can have fictional pagan gods and more, because it's just a frickin game.

In the normal course of things this is true.

We know the in-game pagan gods are not real, and no one is trying to pass off in-game amorality as something normal and good.

But Wotc has put themselves on the record that they are explicitly going to do just that: Present homosexuality, a sin, as something that is both normal and good.

Receipts given in a previou post: "Crawford told me that publisher Wizards of the Coast is making D&D more gay, and why that's a great thing."

No, the normalization of sin is not a great thing. It is empirically a Bad thing.

It is explicitly antithetical to Christian Morality.

So it is only natural and good for those that consider themselves Christians to be opposed to LGBTQP normalization propaganda being intentionally inserted into RPG's.

Proofs? That doesn't even make sense from their perspective.

What is Etherscope like? I have heard of it but never actually seen it.

There was an old thread on it here (from 2007):

https://www.therpgsite.com/pen-paper-roleplaying-games-rpgs-discussion/any-love-for-etherscope/

In my head, I conflated this with the Necroscope RPG for the Masterbook system, based on the Brian Lumley books.

Some excellent stuff for a Victorian OSR game can be found here: Victorian & Western OSR

Also White Box Gothic Adventures in Shadow & Horror

thank you for those links, they look awesome

Worse is they have infiltrated anime and manga and are "fixing" them by adding woke dialogue.

I was reading one manga and early on one character says "i identify as male" and it struck me as out of place. Several issues later and someone else is doing the translating and the character is female and apparently always was.

Apparently they are also now trying to "recolour" characters.

The dark elves in Skeleton Knight were changed from lavender skilled to pretty much standard elf fair complexion because of woke pressure.

Expect things to get worse.

I read the entire article.

You're braver than me, Shark.

I stopped the moment I saw "Tolkien was racist" excerpt quoted by Insane Nerd Ramblings. And, just for the record, I think the author of that text has never ever read any of Tolkien's works.

Quote from: SHARK on May 22, 2024, 06:28:42 AMYes, I suspect that this is the approach that WOTC is likely to take.

5-10 years ago I'd think so. But wotc has become increasingly insane and if even a tenth of the things they have talked about for fake 5e see print. Greyhawk will be the absolute least of our worries.

Quote from: jhkim on May 22, 2024, 01:20:04 PMThis is why I talked about my appreciation for Howard as an author and explicitly pointed to my old Conan RPG material here:

Man I really love me some REH stories!

OMG!!!111!!! Looks at all teh WACIST stuff he wrote!!!!

Proceeds to point out things that arent racist.

Rinse repeat ad nausium.

This thread has been so thoroughly derailed by you two fuckwits. And its deliberate. You cant stand anyone pointing out your precious cult of idiocy is so abjectly wrong.
