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.

Grim getting targeted by RPGnet again.

Of all the hypocritical bullshit.


QuoteFor further context, he is in theory a game designer, but on that front his output has been...telling. Some of the "high points" include:
* A card game about tentacle hentai
* Weird and rapey spells for a third-party D&D sourcebook.
* A game about Gamergaters trying to expose ethical breaches and """SJWs""" trying to conceal them.
* Another card game, "Privilege Check", which """satirically""" claims things like "people whose ethnicity I cannot immediately tell are doing it deliberately to annoy me"
* A kickstarter for an RPG adaptation of everyone's favourite mediocre sword-and-planet series with deeply weird ideas about women, the Chronicles of Gor. My memory isn't entirely clear, but I seem to recall that the KS launched without bothering to secure the rights first.

That card game was illustrated by an at the time noted RPGnet poster and artist.

Onyx Path, RPGnet's favorite woke publisher, released (for free) a 'satirical' exalted book of sex, depicting the violent rape of a woman. Vampire the Requiem 2E features a lovingly written bit of fiction about the incestuous pedophilic rape of a young boy.
Has a habit of hiring and covering up for actual rapists and harassers.

Nymphology is about as harmless as the Book of Erotic Fantasy, which has a long running popular thread on RPGnet with no issues.

Yes potentially tasteless cardgames are a grave threat to gaming. No doubt Cards Against Humanity are banned as well.

And lastly, made a game on a silly IP, yeah thats never happened before or since.

The sheer blind hypocrisy is always astonishing with rpgnet.

Do triple quotes mean something special in the source you quoted? Are these outrage quotes or something?

Exactly. Jim is effective, obviously. He knows how to twist the outrage crowd with his own finesse.

The thread for those who want to know: https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/convention-games-and-the-necessity-of-the-x-card.847434/page-9

I still think it was a stupid thing to do on the part of the DM to run the game with such disturbing material. For fuck sake if the main premise of the campaign is " kidnapping and sexual assault gang on the player characters" without letting them knowing in advance just so the DM can get off on the shock value is just truly stupid and one of the rare times I am in agreement with many of the posters of rpg.net. One is just asking to become a social pariah and deservedly so from the hobby. As for the post the OP quoted about Jim denbourgh the poster who wrote that on their forum was not an actual mod, broke their rules about no personal attacks on rpg creators and was banned for a week. So every now and then they get it right.

As for Jim Denbourgh I am not with him on his defence of the DM. It is one thing to be told about the nature of the campaign, still join the game then get offended. Dropping the kind of bombshell the DM did in this culture of political correctness and more importantly the subject matter the DM was begging for trouble. With all due respect to JIM many hills to die on this was the wrong one.

Agreed, you can't stay in a corset of your own hangups your whole life. They've lost any sense of levity... perhaps it is because THEY ARE THE JOKE!

Grim Jim rocks, but why is this a separate thread?

LOL. So true, but it's one of his best traits!

Grim's a genuine contrarian in an era of fear and conformity.

He's a bit of a libertarian, something more people would know if they knew he's an anarcho-socialist. An oxymoron IMHO but he has principles and sticks by them, something more people should do and we wouldn't be in this situation. Instead we have a bunch of ideologues that think that there are not bad tactics only wrong targets.

I'm proud to stand by him in defense of the freedom of everybody to be stupid and tell tasteless jokes or run politically incorrect games, because fuck the puritans on the right and on the left, that's why.

Have they denounced 50 shades and GoT yet? Nope, and never will because it's not about the principle (they have none) in that regard I have a bit more respect for the puritans on the right, they have a principle (a fucked one but still) and will censor everything that goes against it regardless of who wrote it.

For the woke it's about power and control, the power to rule over you and control even your thoughts. It's like the Yo pecador, you can sin by word, deed, omission and thought.

Sin by word: "offensive" jokes any one?
Sin by deed: Not hiring enough X
Sin by omission: Not denouncing the sinner
Sin by thought: Subconscious bias
Original sin: Being born white, straight and male

They don't call you degenerate or atheist or apostate, they call you istphobe, nazi.
