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.

Well, I hope that's over with.

Let it go, yabaziou. You are coming off as an unstable aggressor instead of making your case seen in a better light. In fact, please do not make your case here at all. I do not want to hear it as this site has had more than its share of this drama from courtrooms and back. Just... let it go.

:)
Hi Zak! Good to hear you are going to be creating again.

Since you are a fan of puny, tiny, zani zakki boi, you should be delighted that the artist, formerly know the porn star Zak Sabbath, Zachary Smith, is offering an unique deal, for a life time !
See the details : http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2024/11/it-will-be-here-it-will-cost-0-and-then.html

Enjoy that, while it lasts ...



You know, this isn't a binary choice.  Just because one of you is a documented asshole, doesn't mean you both aren't assholes.  Frankly, I'm happy not to know anything about either of you.  Let's keep it that way, shall we?

Do not mettle in the affairs of yours better, you moronic coward, who probably is suffering from diabetes !

Buzz off and go disappear in the nothingness that is your sorry and patethic existence !

I am very proud of the fact that I will never meet puny zany zakki and you, stupid username, IRL, you little scared boyo !!!

TLDR : buzz off and go play outside !!!

@GnosticGoblin : I am not your son or your friend, buddy !



Are you okay mate? Ça n'a pas l'air de bien aller, M. Abaziou... If you need to talk privately about personal issues, perhaps I can help. I don't understand the level of angst on display here. Peace out.

OK, I'm very sorry but you are going to need to explain to me, in DM if you like, what exactly was the "doxxing" that Zak did to you in your opinion?

Because if you were a user named TBrown, and you also have a public twitter account called "Tim Brown", I don't quite see where the doxxing comes in?  Are you just claiming that the "doxxing" is that now we know your first name?

It would be another matter if your public twitter account was completely separate from your RPG identity, but if you did in fact post your statement about Zak in the twitter account, then it obviously isn't?

Anyways, if there's something I'm missing, and you'd rather talk to me in private send me a DM.

A Zak thread turned into a dumpster fire. Who could have predicted?
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

RPgpundit,

it will come back to you, by private message, about my version of event, next year ... ^^

My main issue is with the post number 50 of this thread.

The Tumblr account is Zak s's account and I have no power over it.

Since it is the end of the year and I will not abuse your time, with my stupidity and the douchebagery of puny, tiny, zany, coward zakky boyo, I will send yout a direct message at the end of the week and you will decide what to do, including banning my arrogant French ass ... C'est la vie !!!

Zak S is on my ignore list and i will not interact with him, anymore, he is dead to me !!!

I behaved, childish ans stupidly, with a narcisst, who thinks is better than me, and above the laws, and found out.

Luckily, my job and financial positions are not in jeopardy, for my boss, the French State, strongly dislikes anarchists, nihilists, losers and fugly people, like Zak S, who are not French citizens and do not speak French ...

I'm assuming you meant post 49, with the link to the tumblr page, and I assume you meant that the tumblr in question was Zak's? But anyways, if you want to clarify on what you feel was doxxing, please contact me via DM.

I read the full article: https://archive.is/0Nv3c. It's something from dystopia. This phrase nails it:

"In the end we are left with a large group of harassers who cancelled someone on vibes alone because, well, he spent a decade trying to tell them to stop being the kind of harassers who cancelled people on vibes alone".

What a sick industry. And shameless. A serious assault was perpetrated against this guy. A mad world.

Quote from: RPGPundit on August 04, 2024, 02:40:19 PMIt seems like at this point Zak's problems as far as a comeback tour is concerned is that its not just the Woke who despise him; a lot of the people who bought his books back in the day, most of whom don't believe that Zak was guilty of anything, still won't want to buy his book.

I'm new here and naive on this issue. Why not? Because he writes crap books? Presumably not. His books have a solid reputation.

His politics? That would be absurd - as that's one of the things they presumably despise about woke cancel culture. I dislike your politics but I still buy a lot of your books because they are very good and we share similar ideas about what makes RPGs great.

His personality? Same - thought they'd believe in the separation of the artist from the work of art and buy the book on it's own merits and value.

If Zak S can come back from the heinous headfukkery visited upon him by this industry then he has my full respect. That's some comeback.

Quote from: McPhisto on January 01, 2025, 08:59:29 PMWhy not?

1) He's an insufferable asshole who is insanely narcissistic and yet has such a fragile ego he will go out of his way to literally make up shit in every effort to prove he's never wrong.
2) If it were someone else who was being raked over the coals, he'd join in if there was any possible benefit to himself.

Convenient your reply in this thread tries to sound innocuous and yet clearly is agenda driven.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

I wanted more from rpgpundit.

I roleplay but I've never been part of RPG online culture. I don't regret that one bit.

And my information on Zak S is based on this article: https://archive.is/0Nv3c

Which has a lot more punch, for me, than what some say about his personality in RPG forums

What an obnoxious article. Doesn't even try to explain how this "hateful" culture came about and is clearly agenda driven. Like, things started with the "Storygamers" more specifically the GNS people told everyone else how to play games and kicking up a fuss. It continued when self proclaimed "experts"  talked out of there ass regarding how the average table looks and only became worst the more popular ttrpgs became.

It's almost like people who like to have power and control over others are the ones that cause issues. You know, the people which want to tell you how to play games, the people who want to remove games that don't fit in their critera of "proper". This whole article is just one big soap box repeating the same shit people have been saying for years and isn't exclusive to the ttrpg scene.

Kek. Also, what's up with yall Zak posters reviving dead threads and being obnoxious with your need to make everyone like your idol?

I had zero opinion of Zak until recently, and now I'm starting to believe the random people who dislike him because fans like you are obnoxious. Like, just post about his work. Stop trying to defene him in every thread where someone mentioned him. He's an adult, he doesn't need you to preach.

I'm not.  If the person is a shitheel I am not going to buy their work and give them my money.  The game industry is oversaturated with games and there is plenty of good things to buy.

Makes sense to me. As the old saying goes 'why give money to people who hate you'.
