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.

Some pretty untoward allegations against Zak S have come out.

Link says it all.

I'm not one to rush to judgement so I'll be interested to see what, if anything, he has to say on the matter. Either way this is going to rather substantial shit storm I imagine.

NOTE: there were several nearly identical threads about the Zak S #MeToo moment, more in fact than for any other topic since the time of starting the moderation in this style here.

I chose this one because it was the first one. The others were all basically variations on the same.

I'll be making a video about this in a little while. In brief: I told you so.

Is there such a thing as a male Hollywood pornographer who is a fine upstanding person? Upstanding in the moral sense, at least.

I say unto thee, good S'mon, as Satan Advocate Dejeur inabsentia....

Is being "upstanding" the only standard with which we are to measure a non-gender-specific presumed hominid in our Marcopus Rufus Court? Hmm? HMMMM???

Well it generally suits me. I'll make a partial exception for Magnificent Bastards who Create Much LOLZ. I don't think Zak makes that category.

I don't know who these people are, but I don't like the sound of

We will not work with people who work with him. For example, Codex will not publish an artist or author who is actively working with him. For folks who have worked with him in the past and now regret it, we will need to be satisfied they are no longer working with him before we can have a professional relationship with them.

It all sounds incredibly Stalinist. I'm A-OK fine with boycotting Zak, but boycotting everyone who has ever worked with him sounds pretty OTT.

Greetings!

S'mon, I read their blog statement. The Gauntlet thinks that this should be the "end of the line for Zak S. in the TTRPG industry." Their whole menu of actions and policies they are embracing...is just wow, you know? Stalinism indeed! HE MUST BE ERASED FROM RPG HISTORY! I mean, damn. All of this drama for *one man*? It seems over the top to me as well.

Oh, and S'mon? Who the fuck is The Gauntlet, anyways? I've never heard of them.

   This would be a more telling bit of satire if Zak hadn't demonstrated a habit of doing similar things to others on online fora.

They do a few podcasts and a fanzine.  They cover OSR stuff and Apocalypse/Dungeon World.

Fear of a Black Dragon isn't bad, they talk about classic and OSR modules.  

They discussed Death Frost Doom, I wonder if it'll be banished to digital oblivion now.

Thing that gets me is "My previous defense of Zak were lies. His lies. But now I'm telling the truth."

I don't personally know either of them, and don't really care. They can cut each other to ribbons and fade into obscurity, just as long as I don't run out of popcorn.

I just saw Kasimir's youtube video about Zak called Told you so and I changed my mind. Zak might be an asshole. Very enlightening video.
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!
