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.
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.

This isn't the 'review Felix's books' thread. Give it a rest. Go post DMs at each other or talk in the Reviews subforum.

I might be a fool, but I am not foolish enough to mess with Chlorine trifluoride. ;)

LOL, I'm not a mod. I'm just the thread starter.

But the report button's only a short mouse click away.

I'm glad we're all understanding each other, though.

Yesterday was a busy day for TBP's jannies.

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ted-receives-a-%F0%9F%94%B4-warning-threadban.887126/

Thou shalt not contradict the narrative, peasant. No evidence in favor of the accused allowed, even anecdotal.

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/quasar-receives-a-%F0%9F%9A%AB-seven-day-ban-and-topic-ban-australian-politics.887127/

Your guess is as good as mine. But from the context, I guess the TBP mods aren't willing to endorse sexist takes against unvaxxed. Yet, anyways.

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/chalk-shoutline-receives-a-%F0%9F%94%B4-warning-derailing-abuse-discussion.887130/

Listen and believe, peasant.

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/eudaimic-receives-a-%F0%9F%9A%AB-three-day-ban-reporting-redtext-holdoing.887131/

No backtalking the mods either (really, Eudaimic, you've been there since 2003, you should know how pissy the mods get when the serfs get uppity).

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/lewd-beholder-receives-a-%F0%9F%94%B4-warning-othering-jokes.887133/

"Waaaah, how dare you stereotype a common stereotype, waaaaah."

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ivy-receives-a-%F0%9F%94%B4-warning.887134/

I have to admit that's actually pretty funny -- the image, anyways. Guess the mods don't like reminders that most of the Dem backfield is made up of geriatrics (yes, I know, the GOP has similar issues).

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/elvago-receives-a-%F0%9F%94%B4-warning-and-threadban-derailing-in-an-a-game-thread.887160/

And remember, you don't ever get to defend yourself or others from allegations while on TBP. Otherwise you're just another shitlord.

So as an outsider who hasn't been watching this situation develop over the years...

Holy crap, It'll take a lot of effort to dive through 17 pages of posts, but this really looks like a toxic shitstorm on rpg.net.  I wonder how long it will be before the site admins decide to purge the hilarious reviews of Jason Sartin and Darren McLennan for being "too mean" when reviewing such gems as Senzar and World of Synnibar.

Maybe I should make sure to archive those gems, lest they be canceled and deleted from history.

McLennan is still a mod on TBP (he's Cannibal Smiley). However, as has been seen before, a mod who decides to go against the grain may find themselves on the outs no matter what their prior wokeness was.

Great Zonk, they’re unironically using “holdo” as a verb?!

Speaking of gems, do any of you old-timers recall AB3's stories about the "horrific" gaming sessions he endured?

I'm sure those are long gone.

Considering how the TBP jannies maul the English language in their attempts to justify themselves, seeing one complain about 'insulting a people's language' is darkly amusing.

Of course it's Tanka, who never grew up from his high school days.

Oh gads yes. Those are some entertaining reading

In fact there was some really good stuff back in the day. Stuff I haven't seen in years. Like the describe your game as movie trailers. Or the fantasy fucking vietnam dungeon crawl. And of course the ever popular hat of d02
