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.
NOTICE: Some online security services are reporting that information for a limited number of users from this site is for sale on the "dark web." As of right now, there is no direct evidence of this, but change your password just to be safe.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

So, while I suspect many here can't actually access Tangency as banned users can't log in, there is some discussion on Tangency including a statement from a moderator that they are trying to put together a statement.

I'd be really surprised if they aren't at risk of being considered complicit and as open to litigation as Ettin.  I guess it might depend on individual statements made by specific mods, particularly in the linked thread.

Ettin is one of their mods.


I don't believe he or she is currently a mod.

I know nothing of the whole affair but if Ettin is not a lawyer the ability for someone with either the legal skills or money to win against someone without the above is pretty trivial.  OJ gave the world a lesson on that.

I believe a fair number of the mods there are lawyers so it might be a more challenging litigation.

I'm just saying they probably want a lawyer to give a good read through to the decision against Ettin before they write their statement.

Reddit deleted the post and comments so fast that they can't even be viewed on removeddit. Scummy of them.

Reddit is full of cowards and shills.  If it goes against their moral busybody groupthink, down the memory hole it goes.  "Scummy" doesn't even touch the surface of how low Reddit is.

It's a him.  But anyway, that's news to me.  I know he was for a while.  I obviously don't follow him around, and literally this is the first time I've wasted CPU cycles on him in a few years.

The thing is, I've not the first clue whether the shitty marriage accusations are true.  I wouldn't know this guy from Adam, for all I know I've walked past him on the street.  But because I am a functioning adult, I don't repeat other peoples' accusations as fact on public spaces.  It's really not that hard, but a lot of people lately seem incapable of it, and aren't concerned about whatever impact it may have on the person being spoken of.  For that reason alone I support legal reminders for people that drive-by cancellings aren't a victimless crime.

Ettin has a gofundme now and lots of posters with names are giving ZakS more targets.

You would think that after seeing ZakS win a lawsuit against a clown who made unsubstantiated claims against him, they would avoid making...unsubstantiated claims against him.

Was part of the suit that Paul Matijevic had to post the apology on specific sites? And if those sites remove the apology, is Ettin then in default?

I think it might become a problem because how can Ettin prove that he posted the apology if the sites put the apology down the good old memory hole?

Like rpg.net, somethingawful or r/rpg are interested in anything approaching the truth.

I can't say that I'm a fan of Zak Smith, but I also haven't actually seen any evidence of his alleged wrongdoings, and the worst I've personally endured from him has been mild annoyance.
Ettin, however, has been a complete fucking cunt to me, and I know that if I were to ever actually publish my game that him and his little clique would probably hurl hateful, false accusations against myself, and try to get my game canceled. I'm glad he's getting his comeuppance, and I hope that he will learn his lesson.

Since he's conned people into paying his legal fees and settlement via GoFundMe, I doubt there will be any lesson learned.
