SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Sounds like psychological splitting ("ours are absolute good, theirs are absolute evil") is bearing the fruit beloved by Eris (Goddess of Discord), mindless acrimony.

Whatever, I stand by what I said ages ago: There's the Control Left and Alternative Right, ergo we must embrace the Delete All to reset the world. Or we could go back to playing how to pretend to be an elf games, like mature adults? :p

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Quote from: Svenhelgrim on July 14, 2023, 12:34:57 PMTLDR: Jeffro Johnson and his BROSR goons are trying to paint the publisher of Tonnisborg as a woke sissy, because said publisher ignores the BROSR, and in his book he wrote a paragraph about making the adventure your own.

People should ignore him and the brosr.  I don't even recognize them as part of the OSR.  And wont even start on his silly ass name.

Quote from: S'mon on July 14, 2023, 04:20:26 PMFrom what's quoted in the video re Tonigsborg, I'd be less generous than Pundit though more generous than the BrOSR (I stand between the Darkness & the Light)  ;D

I find the idea that there has been a radical cultural shift since 1973 quite iffy. Maybe in US/UK academia, journalism, and the circles directly influenced by them. Maybe in the corporate halls of power, where Woke Corporatism is definitely A Thing. But, out in wider society? I'm not really seeing it. The big shift in the USA occurred over racial attitudes in the 1960s, and to a much lesser extent over sex/gender roles in the 1970s. Since the 1990s we have had creeping PC/SJWism/Wokism, but not a paradigm shift.


95% of the people I know still think, act, and speak; the same as they did in 1980.  The only differences; being attributable to smart phones, social media, and the internet at large. 

95% of the straight people, stayed straight.  Many churches have seen a reduction in attendance.  The inter-mixing of people from different racial heritages has become much more common.
