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.

It's cringe that Paizo is getting involved in politics but they're not wrong about Vance.

Good to note that Fascism doesn't actually mean anything anymore.

It must be nice making so much money in an insignificant niche hobby that you can alienate 100 million possible customers like that. Good work, Paizo.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Read a bit of Project 2025 and you'll understand why the term applies perfectly to Vance and his cabal.

You should be far more concerned that the term "retarded" applies perfectly to you and your cabal.  Paizo, who produces a luxury, entertainment product, is telling people not to buy or play their game.  In a recession.  With massive inflation.  Insert the Robert Downey, Jr. meme, "Never go full retard..."

You do know that Project 2025 isn't part of the Trump/Vance policies and is not endorsed by anyone outside the Heritage Foundation?

Your political nonsense doesn't belong in this thread. Take it to the politics forum if you want to display your ignorance, or stop talking about it.

This thread isn't about your paranoia politics, or any political debating.  Although it has a political element to it, this thread is strictly about game companies.

WTF does my exercise and weight loss plan have to do with J.D. Vance?

I have pirated all of the pathfinder books and I use them to run games where my players slaughter minorities.



Why is he killing white people in those games? I'm so confused.....joke

Honestly, that statement was enough to make me swear Paizo off completely (and I was actually interested in the game itself before).  WotC is a shit company, but they never told the potential next Vice President of the USA to return their books if he has them because their game "isn't for fascists".

Left them and 'Mathfinder' behind years ago due to their woke, virtue signaling bull-shittery.

I'd like to think I had something to do with that.  During the Kyle Brink fiasco, I shipped all my 5e books to WOTC headquarters and mailed them a letter asking for a refund and expressing my displeasure.  The sent the box back marked "Return to Sender" and never responded to me.  (I still have the unopened box.)

They've been very stupid since then but I haven't seen any statements that are explicitly negative towards a prospective customer.

At this point, I think we might need lists of 'what kind of people can play what kind of games without offending their owners or the bulk of the other players.' :)
