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.

Actual Play media (podcast or video) - non-woke

I admit, I'm brand new to this forum, having recently fled Reddit due to it's most recent meltdown about Nazis everywhere - maybe even in your cereal! - and I'm not 100% sure this is the right forum to post - correct me if I'm wrong. (But damn am I glad to have found this site)

I'm wondering if anyone has some good Actual Play resources - preferably not D&D - that don't have inclusion quotas and just focuses on cool game play. I am looking to understand how the particular RPG is played, so if they're too loose with the rules I will probably be disappointed.

The 3TRPG podcast has a few actual plays they've released, its mostly a discussion podcast though about RPGs in general.  Kinda fun to listen to, but they're quite busy with a bunch of things in their lives so post new episodes very infrequently.

I don't have a specific list, though non-fantasy genres are probably more interesting to me because I have almost 0 experience with them as RPGs, so learning how they run (with good players) is what I'm looking for. Sci-fi is definitely one (I found a couple Traveller ones) and horror (found a Delta Green that's pretty good). But any examples of good play are instructive to me.

I don't recall any woketardedness in that one.

SINless (Shadowrun 3E):

One of the guys in that one is obnoxious and narcissistic, and I can't tell if it's the player or the character, but overall it's good. I'm listening to Season 2.

Both can be gotten in podcast form. I don't know what you use to grab casts, so I don't know what to link to.
