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.

I'm on a SJ sort of FB group, and the topic of Zak and Pundit came up, of course.


Surprisingly, the thread has been overwhelmingly on the side of reasonability. I won't say 'side of Zak and Pundit,' because most involved don't know Zak and Pundit, don't care, or find them kind of annoying, but all three generally agreeing there's no evidence of wrong-doing.

So, hey. In more open environments not moderated by hammers, it looks like the truth can squeak out.

Also, back on the (nominal) topic of this thread, thought y'all might be interested to know there's now a formal topic ban, over on RPG.net, about Pundit and Zak and their work on 5E.


I saw this; and it amuses me a lot. Because it means that possibly, for the first time EVER, people could start threads on there about LoO or AoI and not have them derailed (and subsequently conveniently shut down) by people talking about how terrible I am.  They aren't allowed to do so now.

In theory, of course.
