Ok so far digging through the facebook page I've only found two articles from Mr. Staple's Blog that seem lean in iron cross' view. I just don't care enough to do his job for him to really dig any further.

Greetings!

DIG! DIG! DIG!:D

Even if such at Britannia is entirely true and accurate, what is it we are supposed to do about it? Chaosium seems to be pretty drunk on SJW nonsense, as well. *shrugs* Chaosium is a modest company. C&S is a relatively obscure game. Don't buy their products. Speak with your wallet. If they gulp down the SJW Kool-Aid, let them choke on it. Let them burn!:D

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Quote from: deadDMwalking;1119651The game isn't to my taste, but the way that they combine elemental spells having a character with a 'magical mishap' in his or her past ins't exactly game-breaking.  Regarding the people I've played with, some are inspired by D&D directly, others came to fantasy from anime, others from fiction like Lord of the Rings, etc.  If you have a good group, it's pretty easy for the anime player to imagine himself with spiky blue hair and everyone else imagining him like Aragorn in Lord of the Rings - it doesn't have to be an issue unless you want it to be an issue.  The degree that you want it to be an issue is subject to discussion with the player and the DM.  Being automatically 'kill on site' or having everyone try to burn you as a witch might be more extreme than the player likes - but maybe they do want strange looks and distrust.  Once again, I can't begin to count the number of players I've had who wanted to be a mysterious loner in a dark hood with trust issues.

Jesus you're a fucking clown...

Looks like Evil Hat is up to their old tricks again Virtue Signalling like crazy:

Wouldn't "diverse and inclusive" mean everyone and not just their SJW fans.

I also find it baffling how many pussies play games with such super-dark shit then bitch to the ends of the Internet about how unsettling it is.

I know, it is like finding out the Cthulhu is a misogynistic transphobic homophobic nazi white male armed with AK47s.  Ahh, I failed my San Check!

It's even simpler:

-A game with demons ripping out of the flesh of children born from incest between hell-born, genderless mages who drink the blood of viral vampires?

Good RP.

-A game with white men in a historically accurate medieval setting?

Triggered into a safe space while demanding said game (and its creators) be cancelled.

Quote from: Ratman_tf;1119647You deligitimize yourself. I have been watching this thread because I am interested in the SJW lunacy in RPGs. But so far, this has been really weak tea. A few complaints with no direct evidence.

Ratman is correct. Most of us enjoy ridiculing SJWs, but you 've provided us with nothing to see. "Join Facebook to find out" is a non-starter. And to be honest,  those blog posts were fascinating.

Common courtesy would be for the OP to have posted links to the offending material, or at least examples of it.  At the very least, a few screenshots of the stuff.  Why has the OP refused to post any links, or anything really?  Is this some sort of 'vaguebooking' the kids are all into these days? Or does the OP lack even the rudimentary ability to link to anything?  He/she has been asked multiple times for links too.   Say, it it a sock puppet for someone?  I bet that it is.  I wonder who?

I don't think that I have ever encountered a C&S player in all my years in RPGs ( over 40).  What is/was its appeal again?

Evil Hat and Chaosium are scum. You hate HPL? Wanna bitch about how horrid he was? Cool, don't use his work. Create your own horror setting or use the work of authors who are SJW approved. But to make money off HPL's creations and then shit on him? Fuck them.

The worthless garbage of Evil Hat and Chaosium are always happy to mine dollars out of the Mythos and HPL's stories...and mysteriously those tasty dollars are never tainted with HPL's naughty wrongthink. What fucking hypocrites.

Either the OP is too afraid to do so or more likely way too lazy to do so. The first because they want to play both sides while not really committing to either. We had some SJWs who used to come here and complain about the treatment of their favored rpg companies because if they did on their usual SJW moderated forums they would be banned. Only to turn on this forum when it was convenient for them to make brownie points with their fellow SJws. While also accusing us of being the worst rpg forum on the Internet. More the second where and what gets me is that somehow we are at fault for asking for links or screenshots when the OP knows damn well he would have been asked to provide them. So eother he provides them or he is talking out of his delegimatized behind.

Well it seems many "woke" rpg companies are hypocrites look at Paizo who suddenly became woke even before 2E PF by including  god or servant of one who targeted children. I think Folca was the name https://images.app.goo.gl/nfRjsNErUkHQvK876 and the of course the god made an appearance in new book just as the new IT movie was hitting theaters what a shocking coincidence. Of course the fans ripped them a new one and seemed surprised by the reaction. Anyway Woke fans think that somehow they will join a gaming group and start dictating new terms on what the players and DMs will use at the table during a campaign. Or what a player and DM reads in their homes simply by walking in off the street.

Join a campaign with undead as the main enemies and sJW XYZ is triggered by undead change the whole campaign or ELSE! Carry HPL or similar others your a terrible racist, white privileged person take them off the shelves and burn them or ELSE! Or that is the false impression given by the echo chamber style moderation. Thankfully reality and forum is much different.

Quote from: deadDMwalking;1119559It's a minor concession to a player about something that has a major impact on how much they enjoy and invest in the game.  

Except that such players do not (usually) game alone, and that 'minor concession' might have a major negative impact on how much other players enjoy and invest in the game. If my group is playing a game in the American Old West and I allowed a player to make a character with 'lavender eyes, blue hair, and iridescent skin,' I think many of my players would be less than pleased especially if I was expected to make the world just accept such as being normal.

   I understand wanting to distance oneself from Lovecraft's more odious opinions, but the phrasing feels less like distancing and more like self-righteous condemnation. One thing I'd like answered: what makes Cthulhu & co. so compelling that you're willing to exploit the work of a man you hold in such disdain?

"We're all about inclusion. Except for people we disagree with."

Yeah...
