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.

Labyrinth Lord 2 coming soon

Quote from: Persimmon on January 04, 2023, 08:53:16 AMWell, 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.

In AD&D it can totally wreck your male fighter if you have exceptional strength, which makes it a pretty "good" cursed item to throw at the players. That said, wouldn't this sort of item actually be sought out by transgendered people? Seems like a boon...

Quote from: Warlock on January 04, 2023, 08:10:36 AMImagine 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.

There's a boardgame called My Father's Work which is loosely based on Frankenstein. The rule's author spends an entire page of the rulebook accusing Mary Shelly of Xenophobia and Cultural Appropriation. So it isn't just RPGs where this is happening.

Sad to see another rpg publishers going woke though not surprised.
It funny how they use semantics with words .

" i wil make an overly obvious political statement yet if i write it's not political than it's suddenly not" line of reasoning. Like when people e add full stop after making a statement thinking no one is going to answer back.

Read the Facebook page. Very unfortunate. I do like the Adv LL rules, but if this is where the 2nd ed is going, you can just count me out.
Besides, OSE (Old School Essentials) is the one OSR rule set that's got the backing behind it.
Just got the OSE player's and referee's books. they're beautiful, well organized, nice artwork.

2. I've been deployed to Iraq, so your tough guy act is boring.

I have been dreading Gavin Norman coming out as woke in some way. I was on the Necrotic Gnome discord and it's infested with them. I love OSE and am really looking forward to the Dolmenwood Kickstarter, but I feel like it's inevitable that'll he'll do something just like Procter at some point.
Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?

Well I guess I am back on the hunt.  With this announcement I can no longer support them as a company and support/buy LL products.  Sad.

Yep, he popped in here to say it was coming when I brought up the "2nd Ed" document from several years ago.

496 pages? Yeesh...I'll probably back it even though I don't particularly like ACKS.

Autarch have just announced an updated edition of ACKS, might be worth looking at

Having seen all the Axioms over the years, and after talking to Alex a bit, I can safely say that this is as close to a no-brainer purchase as has ever been thrown in front of me.

I won't disparage those who like LL.

But hell, I knew it was gonna be bad when Greg Gillespie did the whole Bender thing of creating his own rule system with hookers and blow......and leaving LL behind.

Damn, who knew that Proctor was such a dishonest asshole? I felt bad for the guy when nobody liked his book preview, too. I suppose we can all just come right out and say it looked like dogshit now.

Well, piss on him. I'm tired of this.
Labyrinth Lord is niche within a niche within a niche (it's fuckin' niche-caption up in this bitch), and you just gave a sizeable chunk of said niche-ception the middle finger and decided to court people who won't and don't support your niche-ception.

Maybe Razorfist was right. It's not "Get woke, go broke", it's "Go broke, get woke".
