Quote from: Armchair Gamer on August 22, 2024, 01:50:50 PMAt 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.'

Everyone on the RED list falls into that category.  Green and Yellow don't give a shit who plays the game as long as they have fun and it's upto the group how to handle stuff.

Reading through the Discord chat and following the conversations about the use of the term "minstrel" to cover the name of a class that is basically a wandering musician (both here very recently and in the Discord), then instead adopting the term "bard" because one butthurt American (who is white, no less) decided to report it is a supposedly hurtful term we should never be using in the TTRPG space definitely would qualify Exalted Funeral and Necrotic Gnome a shift from Green to at the very least Yellow.

Has anyone any experience with the German TTRPG game "The dark eye" (Das schwarze Auge)?

On first look, it looks promising. Pictures of current editions don't show the usual tell signs of wokeness. But I'm cautious before I buy into it.

Any opinions?

EDIT: NVM I just found Ulisses in the yellow list. Bummer :-(

I own several of the (4e?) English versions. The game is fine with nothing of real world politics to be found in it. That's the game itself. If you have beef with the publisher, that's all you.*

* Politics aside, I personally dislike how the publisher has handled Torg Eternity and the utter mess they made of Wrath & Glory (but at least Cubicle 7 has picked up the latter ball and is running with it just fine).

One thing is for sure, it shouldn't have won the ENnie for Best Layout.  The layout is pretty amateurish, with terrible choice of fonts that just screams schizophrenia.  I bought the book along with Knave2e, and its clear that Knave had a much more professional layout. 

Is EN World code yellow or code red?

Code brown.  The moderation and discussion is mostly crap...

While the yellow description is something that happened, as far as their products go, I haven't seen anything cringe, or at the least nothing woke that pulled me out of reading it to make it obvious (but I do not pick every paragraph looking for something to be mad about). As I said earlier, when a company does something but doesn't continue to do so (looking at Arc Dream), I kind of feel there is a statute of limitations. But that is just me. I like their A5E as it kind of bridges the gap between 5e and PF (simple rules, lots of variety in character creation and development). I also haven't seen them go after their customers. I see red as for the most egregious of offenses (books filled with demeaning language, excessive censorship of their community, and highly charged political messaging).

I can't stop laughing. Underrated. 😂

You could play Dragonbane/DoD instead. Free League are awesome. Seeing the mods on their forums slap down Wokester cancelpigs is a beautiful sight.

If Arcane Library hasn't been nominated Green yet I'd like to do so. Strong policy of political neutrality, has consistently refused to bend the knee, will associate equally with Lefties and Righties despite a lot of flak from the Cancelpigs on Twitter. No political statements in the material either.

Umbran is bright Red. Morrus is more a deep deep Yellow, kind of burnt ochre 😂

Seeing that enworld actually has in their rules that it's an inclusive site, you aren't allowed to say it's political to have gay bullshit shoved everywhere and literally says they adhere to the left propaganda that not being inclusive makes you a bad guy, I'd say bright red.

Christ Almighty what a cesspit that place became. I remember going there in the early 2000s. Like night and day. Almost as bad a fall as reddit

Yes the site/publisher is Red.

Sadly a more and more common thing on sites these days.
