I just want to say thank you for this list. I have been so sick and tired of not knowing what companies to give my money to due to all this stupid wokeness. Often time it turns into something where I buy a book, read through it, find the woke shit written within and I never touch the book again. To be honest its been very depressing. But there is hope, I saw RPGPUNDITs video pertaining to this list and had to come on here and give my thanks. I will be keeping this list and this thread close to me in future purchases of my gaming books.

I am glad to say that although I unfortunately have given money to companies such a WotC and Onyx Path Gaming, through their D&D and Chronicles of Darkness (those are the books I rarely if ever touch), right now my favorite game line is Shadow of the Demon Lord by Schwalb Entertainment. My fiancé and I have fallen in love with Shadow of the Demon Lord and intend to continue to purchase his books. I also have Shadows of Esteren by Agate RPG, although I have not had a chance to truly read through them nor run a game.

Once again thank you.

Welcome to the RPGSite!  You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.  You must be cautious...

Please refrain from using the word villain or villainy because it's a slur againd medieval low-born folx. 

Point of privilege! Please refrain from saying "low-born", it is triggering to the historically marginalized and economically disadvantaged.

"Other-born" and "differently-birthed" are the most recently updated alternatives.

This is extremely biased and hurtful speech against the artificially intelligent as they don't go through this unhygienic and painful (to the birthing person) process. Zie should use spawned and spawner instead.

The use of spawned and spawner is an appropriation of Salmon culture. If you don't spend the final moments of your life laying or fertilizing eggs in your birthplace, exhausted from using up the last vestiges of your mortal energies, us salmon don't want to hear it.
Use "began life", plz.

GOD, salmons perform enough emotional labour as it is, MAYBE THINK ABOUT THEM FOR ONCE.

That being said, talking about eggs is triggering to the reproductively-challenged, please use more inclusive language honey.

All of you should be rounded up and shot...

Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.

In a few years the disclaimers in the intros in these woke RPG books might exceed the actual content.

So is "differently-birthed" an apt description for mind flayers?

As the illithid Nourisher Ste'Ve J'Obbs once said before mind-blasting a crowd of slavish thralls, "think different".

QuoteThe game is fictional and you may rewrite history to include women and people of color to make your table a more inclusive and welcoming place for all.

Inclusivity matters. Offer a diverse cast of investigators and non-player characters (NPCs) that are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, varying sexual identities, disabled, and more!

Are you struggling or afraid of creating diverse characters? Here's a simple trick. Create a good character and then decide their gender, race, orientation, their disability after the fact. Stop typecasting marginalized persons as villains. Stop stereotyping marginalized people. It's a tired cliché and you're better than that

QuoteA Message To nonNative American Players

QuoteIf you do not have heritage Indigenous to the Americas, we ask you not to incorporate any of your knowledge or ideas of real world Native Americans into the game

QuotePlease avoid the following:
• Assigning your Character the heritage of a real world tribe or First Nation.
• Assigning your Character a TwoSpirit identity.
• Using any words taken from Indigenous languages that aren't used as proper nouns in the game materials or listed as being part of Chahi (see below

QuoteIn our world, the monarchies of Europe pushed westward through the 15th century, determined to find faster routes to India, China, and other valuable trading partners. Instead they crashed headlong into something far more valueable – land and resources that they could exploit. Along the way they devastated entire Native populations through murder, slavery, exploitation, and the spread of disease

Wow. What a preachy load of garbage. "You're all guilty and only we can forgive."
