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.

I wonder how Goblinoid Games statement on politics is going to play out.

I know how it's going to play out with me:  this fucker won't be getting one more dime from my wallet.

Same. I'm disappointed.  :-\

and then Dan goes on to say how he will be sanitizing the next version of LL (getting rid of "offensive" magical items like the girdle of masculinity, etc.)

what a tool this guy turned out to be

Oh FFS.  >:(

"This isn't politics this is unquestionable Truth. Which we should discuss."
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

100% same here, LL is dead to me and books go in the bin for recycling. A shame it was my go to game for so long.

Mine too. Now this company is a relic of the past.

Also disappointed in this, but moving on with this PSA:

I'd like to remind you all that Castles & Crusades, produced here in the USA and devoid of such politicized drivel, is eminently compatible with pretty much all editions of D&D.  Also the last company Gary Gygax worked with, if such things matter to you.

I love C&C but never fit well with my group for some reason. I will be purchasing another set of corebooks again to support TLG.

Don't beat yourself up about it.

Shit happens. If I could see the future I would have already won the Powerball.

It's like Dan is eagerly asking, "Who's ass can I kiss first, in the name of social justice?"

Yeah, the timing on this feels like, "Uh-oh... people didn't like the way LL2 looked, so I'd better find which horn to toot to get some 'positive' attention."

Okay, let's for a moment agree with his statement that certain topics are not political but basic human rights, yada-yada... What "basic human rights" have anything to do with dungeon crawling and fantasy games? If he were to write in the opening paragraph of LL 2 ed that he wants lower taxes and better healthcare it would be just as appalling to me as his human rights manifesto. Imagine buying a board game and in the rules section, there's a paragraph about the creator's political views and sentiments. Equally absurd but somehow in TTRPG it is becoming a common practice.

I wonder what effect will this have on the game's rules.

  I don't know; I think it's more that between the TLG controversy and the PBS article on D&D, the Woke are turning their attention to the OSR, and he decided to pledge his loyalty publicly.

Possibly, but regardless of reason its equally lame and stupid.

Stupid shit like (maybe) changing Race to Species and (definitely) removing items like Girdle of Femininity.

Well, he's already said that he will be removing "offensive" magic items like the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity, which he asserts was simply in the original game to make teenage boys feel uncomfortable playing female characters and is now apparently a manifestation of some kind of gender identification phobia.
