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 now I need to see the rest of the Fuck the Monster section. It's at least a two page spread.

Say what? I'm reacting to excerpts and haven't seen this.



Here you go.

Ok, I've got to channel my inner SHARK here.  These degenerates need to be bathed in napalm.

This is one of those things so idiotic that you can't believe it isn't some kind of troll or parody.  If you've gotten to the point where you are in such an ideological echo chamber that this seems like a good idea, you are lost.  It's over.

If it was OSR compatible then there would be a random table for position.  RPGPundit, what are you waiting for!?!?   :)

Greetings!

*Laughing* Ahh, yeah my friend! This is so degenerate, so stupid, and smarmy, I am just lighting up a good cigar, puffing away slowly while laughing and shaking my head.

I saw a related video, by fantasy and Sci-Fi author, Jon Del Arroz, where he takes this apart in a savage manner. That is where I first heard of SLY FLOURISH's stupid, terrible game book. Sly Flourish also includes within this book an extensive section lecturing and brow-beating gamers on "Anti-Colonialism" and how they need to play D&D properly, safely, and respectfully.

Sly Flourish is such a fucking weak, Woke Commie degenerate. He is disgusting, and honestly, one of the worst gamer writers/YouTubers that seek to "educate" and influence gamers. I also have sympathy for those gamers that are shocked, or had a positive view of Sly Flourish. Watching a *few* of his videos, or just reading "The Lazy DM"--it is understandable and reasonable to assume positive and good intentions. I know that initially, I thought he was pretty solid as well. But lo and behold, as time and politics marches on, you see a few more of his videos where his inner Woke fucktard has been hidden away and lurking, but he can't help himself, and it bursts forth with vivid colour and shocking fuckery.

Napalm indeed, my friend!

Semper Fidelis,

Why is there even a section for this?
Is there a section on how to torture NPCs?
What about a section on kicking puppies?
All vital elements of RPGing...

Quote from: Brad on January 07, 2025, 04:38:08 PMSo are goblins attacking for "men's rights" on behalf of the male villagers? Wouldn't a pseudo-medieval society be the PATRIARCHY by definition? How would you push for men's rights when they are literally in charge of everything by using monsters that hate humans?
For the Left it is always Year Zero... today's politics were always the norm throughout history and therefore the Medieval villages were actually always benevolent anarcho-communist trans-feminist strongholds of tolerance for all things perverse and society destroying and its only the present day evil Patriarchy telling everyone they used to be benevolent patriarchies.

The saddest part is how many are so lacking in historical context they actually believe this.

I don't know. Third party supplements about weird sex stuff have been around for decades and the "bard rolls to seduce the dragon" joke for probably as long. In my personal reckoning of degeneracy, it all depends on what kind of monster we're talking about. A Djinn? Couldn't care less. A Displacer Beast? Yeah, that's pretty fucked up.

The "anti-colonialist gaming" thing is infinitely more pathetic and embarrassing.

Quote from: Eirikrautha on January 07, 2025, 05:02:09 PMSo, once upon a time, I bought the "Lazy GM's Guide" (or whatever it was called), and I read through it.  It started off with what I considered to be solid GM advice.  Not amazing, not lifechanging, but solid.  By the time I got to the last few chapters, I was seriously questioning why I had read the thing in the first place.  The last half diverges from what I would call "GMing 101" into "stupid stuff."  Like, I wouldn't expect it to work at any table, and if it did, it still wouldn't make my GMing easier or better.  A friend had his second book, and I flipped through just enough to confirm that it was more of the same.

So, honestly, I really don't get why he gets so much attention.  I have watched a few of the videos on his YouTube channel, and I've honestly never seen anything that would make him stand out from any other random RPG guy on the internet.  He's as close to being famous for being famous as there is in RPGs, IMHO.  So, yeah, nothing of value is lost...


I guess some people see 650 to 750 pages of core rule books, right out the gate; and they are desperate to find help for GM'ing.

You kind of have to wonder how a person like this Sly Flourish would respond to something like this.  Does he side with the monitor lizard because it didn't give its consent, or does he side with the men because he doesn't want to be a colonialist white supremacist?

I know how the illegals feel. I'm an alcoholic & they keep setting up these random DUI checkpoints. You have no idea what a chilling effect this has had on the alcoholic community. I know people who are too terrified to even drink & drive anymore. I am literally shaking... mostly in my hands...

Seducing the monster: yeah, I'm in agreement here. A thief or some other PC trying to seduce the hill giant's wife in G1 Steading of the Hill Giant Chief is one thing...but trying to get it on with the carrion crawlers on the dungeon level of same module? That's beastiality.

Anti-colonialism: oh boy. There's a ton to unpack here. I'm a historian at heart. Went a few years to school to get a degree in it (fat lotta good it did for me), so I know when it comes to history, you NEVER take history out of the context from when it happened. Ever. It's the #1 blunder the vast majority of people do when looking back on historical events.

Anti-colonialism is empty-headed nonsense. Most smooth brained people who bring it up think that "Colonialism" is something that just happened in the past 300 years or so, or at worst, think Western civilization is the only one who practiced it.

Guess what? Colonialism, or the act of colonizing land for multiple reasons and purposes, has been practiced within the entirely of human history, and I didn't say "recorded" either. Migration is a type of colonizing. Except with migration, you're moving the entire people from one place to another, not a small portion. So, in effect when our cave-dwelling ancestors moved from place to place, some migrated and some colonized. If we didn't colonize and migrate as a species in the early stages on humankind, we would have died out.

There is no human population that hasn't migrated and/or colonized. EVER. You name a culture, people, nation, empire that existed and I'm sure they've migrated or colonized or both.

I'm also not ignoring the fact that colonialism and migration causes detrimental effects upon peoples who are already occupying that region. I well aware of that and I accept it. That's just how it works. Peoples move an occupy space from others, and the ones who are occupied have a few options. 1. fight 2. integrate 3. move. Unfortunately, all three of these options can lead to death: 1. death through war 2. cultural death 3. potential death by migrating to other spaces, and now your people are the colonizers.

Sorry for the rant. When I see someone say "anti-colonialism", I see a moron.
1. I'm a married homeowner with a career and kids. I won life. You can't insult me.

2. I've been deployed to Iraq, so your tough guy act is boring.

As it says in the text, because "many campaigns come to the crossroads that is romancing the big bad."

So. Many.
