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.

Was thinking of doing a DCC campaign when I get my copy of Dark Tower next year.  But I can just as easily run that in Swords & Wizardry or BECMI.

I knew Goodman Games was headed this way when I saw their BLM worship back in 2020.  That cringing, pathetic "apology" made my gorge rise.

There were warning signs well before that but 2020 seems to have been when things started the real fall.

Goodman Games needs to apologize for phoning it in on the Dying Earth boxed set first; I got cheated.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Mine's still unopened like the other guy. What's the beef?
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

I got pissed of after hearing on the therpgpundits channel one of his friends were hired to create it, he did it, then they wanted it to be DCC compatible after he built it out so he left.

What was it supposed to be originally? 5e?

Forgive my ignorance, but did they actually do the thing they're accused of doing in the topic and the thread?  The video doesn't make a straight-faced claim that they did.  It seems to me they have:

A) Been woke for a long while before this,

B) Produced an alternative poster in an effort to cave to the mob, and

C) Somehow caused cancer?

I'm not sure there's any 'there' here guys.  Goodman is woke, water is wet, film at 11?

Can anyone point to an apology for being white?

Yeah, they issued a statement apologizing for not being inclusive in the original poster and thanking their critics for pointing this out and raising their awareness.  Several of the youtube videos, including this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtyQZjYcyKk
have their statement.

No, they did not type the exact phrase "We apologize for being white."

They issued a blanket apology for not being "inclusive and diverse" when their poster for their event was all white dudes.
Which is pretty much apologizing for being white.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

I wasn't clear.

They were ALREADY in this woke posture.  They were already "Red" on The List.

The topic implies they have done something new.  That they have taken a more extreme stance.

Have they?

They haven't started blackwashing thier developers, but I wouldnt be surprised if Joe Goodman starts identifying as a black lesbian or just cuts his dick of for diversity, either or.

I don't understand. The topic did not imply anything of the sort. I'm sorry if you got that impression.

I'm honestly lost now. Goodman games said some dumb shit, and I made a thread mocking them over it. You seem to have some kind of critique, but I'm not sure what it is.
