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.

FWIW when I re-asked this question (non-SJW publishers/writers/games) off site I got response including the following:

Palladium Books.
The RPGPundit. Dark Albion, , Arrows of Indra, Forward To Adventure, GnomeMurdered.
Postmortem Studios.
Labyrinth Lord, Basic Fantasy, Adventure, Conqueror, King, OSRIC

I think there's a lot more than that, personally. Really I'm less interested in active anti-SJWS like Pundit & Grim, more in simple non-SJWs who may well be left-liberal themselves but don't give credence to SJW demands or shakedowns. I really hope that still includes a very substantial part of the RPG industry.

Pendragon?

D&D. WW. Mythmere/Frog God. All cuckolded.

(snip)

Is Palladium safe?


"I used to cheat on my husband four or five times a week.  I'd look at him playing D&D and think 'what a baby penis'.  But ever since he switched to Rifts, he's been different.  More powerful.  More virile.  More... of a man.  Thanks Palladium Books, for helping me beat my adulterous addiction to black cock."

Yeah, I'm not seeing it.

Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can't understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We're not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck's sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron's review of The Phantom Menace

He's one of many. The irony of all this is how pissed off they get about politicizing gaming, while they -- DING! -- politicize gaming. Of course, the big, scary SJW's are to blame for their responses. Nothing like a ready-made scapegoat.

Amen. It's also a symptom of micropenis.

I've got no problem with the cover art. Looks quite cool. Really have no problem with an all female team.  Is it a marketing gag? Perhaps, since they're touting it as if it's momentous in some way...maybe it is.  

I am, however, dubious about the slight suggestion that an all female team is somehow what will make mainstream audiences suddenly flock to the hobby, let alone to that specific game. But if it does, then I'll gladly eat crow.

I like the 3rd printing of S&W.  The art is good, layout is good.  I will agree with folks that the cover doesn't convey to me what the game is about, but it's a pretty sweet piece aside from that.  I don't get what the fear and hate is about.

Agree. Personally i am indifferent to the news. Most women don't care about the hobby anyway which is hardly surprising but there are some exceptions, to me it looks more like a marketing trick. I don't care who writes as long as what he writes is good.

Me?

Oh - 5e D&D (WotC are left-liberal, not SJW) with Paizo material from 2012 and earlier (they were always left-liberal, they only went Full SJW late 2012, around the Obama re-election and associated hysteria). 5e D&D with Dyson Logos (non-SJW OSR publisher) stuff.
4e D&D (WotC, likewise). Mentzer Classic BECM/RC D&D with the old Mystara GAZes and Basic Fantasy adventures.

Recent purchases are mostly OSR - Dan Proctor's Apes Victorious. White Star. Operation: Whitebox.

OK Swords & Wizardry got the old Jesse Jackson shakedown from Stacy "Why does the OSR hate women?" Dellaforno, and have now put out an SJW edition. But I don't think that taints authors using S&W as the chassis for their own games.

I also don't think that WoTC having 100% female artists or typesetters or whatever makes them SJW, even if they boast about it. It's only 'problematic' if they consciously refuse to hire men/whites/straights whatever, and I've seen no evidence of that. I don't believe in 'disparate impact'; there are jobs women like doing more than men, and vice-versa.

I live in London, so most of my players are left-liberals. Obviously they hear a lot of SJW crap and it does influence them (or at least their Facebook posting*), but these are not bad people and I wouldn 't want to avoid playing with them. Even right-wing people say stupid things now and again. :D Likewise with games & authors, I think it's really important to distinguish some well-meaning guy, who happens to be a Seattle liberal, from SJWs, Antifa and other such banes on humanity.

*A lot of people are defensively conformist, women especially. I have a female friend who I recall posted a very sensible, insightful post about male/female difference (I think it was re romance) and received a lot of abuse from her SJW 'friends'. Now she only posts left-liberal boilerplate. I have a female work colleague who is pretty darn 'based' in private, but on Facebook is all 'refugees welcome!' So I believe in cutting people some slack. In an age of lies, speaking truth (without anonymity) is an heroic act. And most people are not heroes.

Now, in all fairness it could be a board dedicated to channeling Victorians through a Ouija board.  But the sign that's happening also involves a lot of talk of corsets and whether that scamp Conan Doyle ever brought back Sherlock Holmes.
