Steve Jackson (GURPS, Illuminati, Munchkin, etc) has posted a delusional editorial on his company games website, where he gets almost everything wrong about tomorrow's elections.

The saying "Never meet your heroes" is so applicable to the case of Steve Jackson that it's a shame he is that unhinged in his ranting, raving, hatred toward Trump and nearly all of us customer base.

I'll always be appreciative of your gaming legacy, SJ! :) Your games have brought me happy memories.

I also think you should take that Munchkin money and retire into the sunset on a high note. This sharing of opinion, I can maturely accept yet... politics is a rough retirement hobby, people have difficulty compartmentalizing while remaining neighborly. ;) Have you considered fishing?

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Steve Jackson's editorial seems pretty accurate to me. It's a bit outside the usual scope of a game site - although I don't read his enough to know if he editorialises often - but all sorts of people seem to feel compelled by current events to put politics into their gaming material, including our host here.

What I find fascinating is the total inversion of facts. The billionaires for example. Is he getting that from MSNBC, deciphering it himself because Musk = Billionaire so all Billionaires must support Trump. Part of this suggests a brain trying to rationalize really hard.

This is just another example of how a certain group of older, wealthy people are so easily manipulated by propaganda and lack of actual experience of the situation. I have some family members who believe the sort of shit SJ is spewing, but they can afford to. 20% increase in the cost groceries? Well, they have seven figures in the bank so it affects them almost zero. Wtf do they care if bacon is $7/pound? Trump is an evil oligarch conspiring with other oligarchs around the world, even though he literally lost over a billion dollars of personal wealth since becoming president. Maybe SJ should listen to RFK Jr. and stop drinking fluorinated water; after what I've seen the past few years, that "conspiracy" might actually be valid.

Also, I stopped backing SJGs Kickstarters a while back when he started with the leftist stupidity, this is just another level of retardation.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Yeah, I disconnected from SJG a long time ago.  He's welcome to his opinion, but not my wallet.

I'm pretty sure he thinks that MSNBC is "conservative media" because it hasn't called for Trump to be executed, or something.

Another great video, Pundit! Steve Jackson, the American one, might have more to hide than we may know about. That's my theory, at least. I think he thinks he has something to lose. Maybe the Government found something out about him? Dunno. But there's more to this than just TDS, I'd bet.

That is poetry right there.

I'm overjoyed at the thoughts of what Steve is feeling right now.

Jackson was dirty back in the 90s, trying to get off with not paying artists was the first I ever heard. Then came across his submission rules which included the huge red flag of "you submit it. We own it"... Then the attack on the Star Frontiers fan site. And its been downhill from there with more and more of him playing internet bully. Then came the backhanded attitude towards fans.

Its been a downwards spiral.
