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.

SJWs have taken over D&D and S&W and Onyx/WW; who is left?

1989

For the third printing of S&W, a genderqueer lead was hired, and assembled an all-female design team. Art is changed. Iconic characters changed. etc.

Whereas, according to Mearls, 5e had an almost entirely female visual team (and, in the PHB, the now-famous homosexual/transgender paragraphs), S&W has one-upped them and gone all female:

http://www.frivology.com/blog/2016/swords-wizardry-3rd-printing-whats-on-the-cover
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/froggodgames/swords-and-wizardry-complete-rulebook-3rd-printing

"Unfortunately, we think there may be some controversy about the fact that the design team here is made up entirely of women. We’ve already heard a couple of comments that generally turn on the idea of “Why restrict the project to women designers? Shouldn’t the objective be to pull the best talent whether male or female? What a gimmick.” We’d like to address that out front, rather than have it turn into a back-channel controversy in the halls of the internet. The missing piece of information is this: there are so many different directions that a project can take that there’s no such thing as “the best talent.” Given our goal of making the game more accessible, we hired – through Stacy – talent that coordinates with the goal. We asked Stacy to put together an all-woman team not as a societal goal, but because she had the chops to assemble the kind of team we wanted. This isn’t a “pink” edition of the rules. It’s the more-accessible next printing that we are targeting toward the mainstream market. It has always been our goal to get the open-ended rules of 1974-78 gaming into the mainstream, and this is our objective here. We think that Stacy’s team has hit this goal out of the ballpark, and we think you’ll agree."

... what a joke. Who believes this?

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

Man, how fragile of a snowflake do you need to be for women to threaten you this much?

I asked this much more politely (I wouldn't even say WoTC meets the criteria for SJW-ness), and had my thread locked. So good luck. :\

Yep. Just another snowflake rant. Nothing to see here. Move on.

The nanosecond anyone uses the word "Cuck" or "Cuckold" on anything other than a porn board they become a pathetic joke to be laughed at or ignored by normal people.

Hey 1989, long time no see! How's life treating you? Did you get your hands on that sweet Mystara Gazeteers bundle deal on DrivethruRPG? :)

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

There are a hell of a lot of cucks in the hobby. They enable and idolize SJWs (what choice do they have, if they want to keep their jobs). The guy designing Starfinder. It's a giant turdburger. Then there's Adam Koebel. Total queer.

I still like the cover art, but it makes no sense for S&W (or most any corebook). It still tells us nothing about the game other than "here's a weird thing" and maybe that's okay for a monster book. The interior borders are good, but most of the interior art is definitely no big deal. The whole thing reeks of a PC publicity stunt. It especially reeks of a shakedown considering Stacy did her "Why does the OSR hate women?" dance before getting the S&W gig. But hey, its just another book on the pile.

Independents?

By not buying their products?


Quote from: 1989;968364Is Palladium safe?

Probably, but only because Palladium has a long history of strong female heroes in their settings. Kevin's main hero in Rifts is Erin Tarn, an old librarian. The leader of NEMA in Chaos Earth is also female.

If the final product openly spews gall over straight white men or otherwise looks like it was made by actual SJWs - as opposed to the all-too-frequent definition of SJWs as "anyone who isn't 100% pristinely non-progressive" - then I'll join you in your outrage. Or, well, I won't, because I try to stay away from outrage, but I'll certainly roll my eyes at the resulting mess in a way that is broadly sympathetic to you.

Until that turns out to be the case - and it normally doesn't turn out to be the case; even people who genuinely have crazy opinions are usually able to keep them out of their professional work, and we're not taking about hardcore feminists here, we're talking about regular, standard-issue female game designers - you are whining. Please do cut that out.
Add me to the ranks of people who have stopped posting here because they can\'t stand the RPGPundit. It\'s not even his actual opinions, though I strongly disagree with just about all of them. It\'s the psychotic frothing rage with which he holds them. If he ever goes postal and beats someone to death with a dice bag, I don\'t want to be listed among his known associates, is what I\'m saying.

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.

Theres a big difference between having a little inclucivity in your product and using it as pretentiousness or worse yet just a marketing gag. Its the those last two that piss some of us off.

And personally that does both ways. All female pronoun? All male pronoun? All herm pronoun? Sloppy damn writing (if it isnt a valid factor of the game) and Im going to call you out on it if I spot it.

Having an all female artist crew? Ok? Nothing new to that. Crowing it as a marketing gag is not ok.

I cant think of any. Even the one Gumshoe book wasnt offensive about it. Just annoying.
And no. Macho Women With Guns doesnt count. Its a skirmish game originally and wall to wall parody of everything.
