Title: Anyone Remember Serpent King Games
Post by: lordmalachdrim on August 20, 2020, 04:01:40 PM
For those that don't remember this company they are the one that took over publishing the old Dragon Warriors game. Well after being silent for nearly 4 years they are apparently back with new product in the works but the first thing they do publicly is bend the knee to BLM and give money to it. http://serpentking.com/?p=372 (http://serpentking.com/?p=372)

Who look another Paizo who could not just simply say they support BLM they had to fall on all fours and grovel pathetically. Makes me really want to buy products from publishers who have no self-respect.

1st: Read up on Black Lives Matter, Incorporated (https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/)
2nd: Look at what it's supporters are doing in Portland and Seattle (I Recommend checking out Tim Pool who was a pro-Occupy Wall Street guy).
3rd: Look as the full statement from Serpent King Games and think about what many of those same phrases have led to in other companies. Here are a couple for ease of reference:
  "Silence is violence, but it is not enough to speak out."
  "We will also be taking active steps to amplify more diverse voices and talents within the tabletop roleplaying game community."

Nobody gave a crap what Serpent King Games thought about BLM. But that didn't stop them.

Fuck anyone who supports Burn Loot Murder.

Hopefully the next owners of Dragon Warriors won't be worthless scum.

Like a game buy it. Don't like a game don't.

I'd could play a whack a mole version of seven degrees of separation to something I'd find offensive with virtually any product I look at.

If nobody gave a crap what they though, which they shouldn't as it has no bearing on the game, we wouldn't have this thread.

Burn Loot Murder is causing hell in many of our communities.
Those who support them, support the harm being done.
Especially when they materially support the terrorism.

Those publishers will not get my money, nor my gaming time.

If someone wants to play Dragon Warriors, plenty of copies are floating on eBay.

This thread exists because it's fun to laugh at idiots.
