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.

Imagine the type of person who looks at a gaming hobby and thinks "this needs policies written by a corporate HR dept."

Coexistence with these people has never been an option.

I used to watch the Paul Hogan show waaaaaaaay back. Does that count? :cool:

Back on the gaming subject. Tenuous as it is.

It seems a bit ill thought out to put out a code of conduct ruling when gaming conventions are still taking a severe hit from the current plague and other problems. And do they think stuff like this imposed on designers, publishers and players will actually be met with open arms?

We are going on about the systematic destruction of RPGs by these cultists from within and without. Expect things to get worse as they allready are getting worse if ehat I heard about WOTC planning to put "This is wacist!" warnings on all their drive-thru entries.

Warning labels drive sales, as the record industry discovered pre-Napster with the Parental Advisory labels on "offensive" albums.

This one may backfire on the SJWs.

   There's been a run on Oriental Adventures that's pushed it to #4 on the WotC "Hottest Titles" list on DTRPG.
