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.

Heredity is not race.

Race is the concept that groups of ethnicities are monoliths who all act the same way, behave the same things, believe the same things, or otherwise are the same.  It's false now, and it always has been false.

It's a tool used exclusively to divide the ignorant so the elites can more easily rule them.

Don't fall for it.

That's definitely not what the concept of race is. Get out of your bedroom.

Yep, that's definitely me.  The cloistered and untraveled.  You sure are well informed!

You should be appreciative of his politeness.   He chose to interpret your problems as stemming from inexperience, as opposed to the more probable origin: that you are just a self-important moron.

Battle doesn\'t need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don\'t ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don\'t ask why I fight.

Quote... a party is strongest when ... acknowledging fantasy's roots while helping it grow to meet the challenges of the future

Nothing highlighted, because it's all egregious.

Sputtering on bile over the claim that "good parties are diverse parties" -- while entirely understandable -- can lead to missing the subtler but more odious shift here:

In the 8th printing, the goal of the game is to have fun. In the 10th printing, the goal of the game is to guide the fantasy genre as a whole onto an ideological path. Says so right there.

These people have clearly lost their minds.
Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."

Alright, I'm inspired.  I had the 8th printing from a Humble Bundle already, so I've grabbed the 10th and will do a text compare today.  Should that be a separate thread?  Probably?

And yes, I did just give them money, but this is for science...

Spoiler, but, who is SBP and why is most (but not all) of their art being replaced in the DCC 10th printing?

They replaced Stefan Poag? Damn, that's sad. His stuff is excellent, and especially fit for DCC's vibe. :(

To be completely fair, some of the new art is also labeled SBP.  But the style seems different to me.  In the example below, left is 8th and right is 10th printing.

No, it is real.

Man that really should be unbelievable.

While there's plenty of greenlisted OSR products, are any of the actual near-clones greenlisted at this point, or were they all targeted and subverted?

From Tekkars Tavern it appears people reached out regarding the luminaries including Gary GyGax and Dave Arneson being removed and the line is being readded in the next printing:

Good news.  Still hate DCC but at least there is one less game company trying to erase Gary and Dave from the hobby.

From that image, it looks as if the guy has been working on his techniques and wanted to update some of the images that weren't up to his standard.  Still, the character of the old one has some flavor to it that is missing in the new one.

Sure good news, but what are the values and principles of this company? Follow whoever screams loudest?
