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.

So here's what happened. I was thinking, "Hey why don't I go onto the Amber Diceless Facebook group and ask If I can talk about LoO." Apparently I was wrong and they started bitching and moaning about the fact that I play Lords of Olympus, it all stems from the fact that RPGPundit wrote it. Now I disagree with Pundit on 90% of things, however people seem to think that purchasing his games are immoral and that Pundit has drove people from the hobby. Anyways I just wanted to get this nonsense off my chest. Though I will probably share the cool stories here from now on.

I feel for you.  I like OSR and a variety of newer lite games.  I have to tread carefully in some circles because they are so politically toxic. 
You can find my solo Tarot based rules for Amber on my home page.

I'm a member of that FB group too and I saw your post. I feel you. I also agree with you 100% I don't like Pundit. From what little I've seen for myself he seems like a major jerk... but he wrote a great game. Lords of Olympus is awesome. Some people can't separate the author and his/her work. That's on them. Others don't want to buy the product because they don't want to support the author. I get that. I understand. But don't try to force your beliefs on others either. Sorry you had to deal with that. Finding a gaming group on FB that's supportive and a positive place is also difficult to do. I'm not overly impressed with the Amber group in that regard. I've had some issues on there myself. So... chin up! You did nothing wrong and don't let others try and villainize you because you bought a game!

I would like to here these cool stories from LoO.
I've often been tempted to pick it up but haven't done so yet.
