RPGnet's decay (TBP madness)

[Armchair Gamer]

Glad this forum returns unfettered with the abject fucktardary of any of those other forums. RE:" Pathfinder 2E has made it at least implicit that one cannot be socially conservative and of Good alignment"

  WTF?? what exactly does that mean? 

Well, from this post on TBP,

There may have been instances before that, but that's the first time I saw Pathfinder explicitly equate social progressivism with being Good-aligned. (Not every single archcelestial is left-leaning, but none of them would be considered socially conservative. That's a big change from early, pre-Pathfinder Golarian in the late D&D 3e days, where one of the good-aligned gods was basically a social conservative.)

I know that some of the members here post at RPG Pub, so maybe they can tell me:  just what is the appeal of that place?  Talk about boring... I think in the past few years I've seen a grand total of 2 or 3 threads worth reading.  At least TPB is interesting, and often has substantial conversations until the commissars shut them down.  And their woke shit is entertaining even if infuriating.  I often forget about the Pub; then I visit and remember why.

I can see why RPGPub might seem boring to those used to the drama of this place or TBP. I like the Pub precisely because it is a friendly, chill place devoid of politics and drama, much like my TTRPG Discord server, Randomworlds. Obviously, that vibe isn't for everyone.

After an appeal, Mistwell's thread ban has been pardoned on account of his apologizing and time served. Mistwell can post here again, but had better be very thoughtful in terms of what he posts.

Greetings!

Mistwell was banned? I haven't seen him at all here since the RPGSITE returned after maintenance on what? Saturday?

Well, whatever. Maybe I'm just blind or out of it. I'm still trying to get used to the new style. It feels kind of strange.

Welcome back anyways!

Semper Fidelis,

Mist was threadbanned, not sitewide banned AFAIK.

Thanks for the link.  That is an odd take...to want trans representation in a fantasy role playing game...if you are trans why not just play the character of the gender you desire to be?  Doesnt that sort of solve the wrong gender issue?

It's a power play.  The goal is to have you accept what you know as a man as a woman and vice versa. Just playing a man or a woman does not achieve that.  If the Woke can get you to accept 2 + 2 = 5, then they can get you to submit to anything. 

For the actual transgender person this deliberate objective may not be the goal; that person may just be trying to work through the dysphoria.  However, for the Woke allies the goal is to get you to submit to their cult.

The rest of the party should conspire to get their hands on some kind of sex change magical thing without the other player's knowledge and use it on their character ASAP.  "There you go, now you're a woman!  No need to thank us, bud.  Though it was sort of expensive, so it'd be nice if you'd pay us back out of your share of the treasure going forward..."  Ditto for anyone trying to go around in a wheelchair.

I feel bad for this guy. It scares me how careful people who post on there have to be with their words.

I've made lore wherein gods represent certain philosophies before, I guess my Dragon god that represents the Christian Virtues of Courage, Generosity, and Community is a social conservative...in their words...

Just from this thread, for a while now. Glad to be back. It's a good thread.

Thank you for your answer.  It's not just that's it's not political, though.  Neither is Dragonsfoot, but I visit there about every day and usually find great stuff to read.
