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.

Welcome to the libertarian (little l) side of the political compass and perhaps the Libertarian (big L) political party (if you are in the USA). :-)

Reading is hard.

the only Mongoose game mentioned is Paranoia; is there any sign that any of Mongoose's other products are "woke"?
Because I know that Paranoia's creator Allan Varney is a raging progressive liberal. It might be that he, or that some of the people working on this particular project, were the ones with creative control to make this, but that this is not a company-wide policy.
They pushed out an update to 2nd  edition Mongoose Traveller to change pronouns.

I feel like you're pretty incorrect in that regard, and probably have not read the book. They don't generally use gender-neutral pronouns to replace gendered pronouns at all in the update. Rather than using gender-based pronouns, they refer to a PC in various examples as "your/a/the Traveller" instead.

Rules clarification, errata correction, artwork "improvement" (some whose quality improvements I agree on and some I do not), and layout improvement (which I do like) were likely the real reasons behind the update.

The clown party.

Could be worse. Could be DSA:
gendered language and sensory overload in 49 seconds
And wiggly fingers. What's up with the wiggly fingers?

Clapping triggers some folks, so they can't do that (never mind that some other folks probably misinterpret the hand waving and finger wiggling as someone getting read to slap or hit them)...

They actually still use the word "comrade"?! What the actual fuck? Last time it didn't end well.

Anyway, when this people will launch their "all-out assault" on Capitalism I want to be there to watch the scene.
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

There's a fantastic video out there where someone takes the audio of that meeting and puts it with video from a town meeting from South Park.

Been looking over Timothy Brannan's Facebook, looking for some spark of decency. I have to admit it is pretty depressing and hate filled (nearly all links, not original commentary) - though at least he, a huge Buffy fan, hates on Joss Whedon as much as the rest of us. But really they both come across as very similar 'male feminist' types. I'm sure he'd be proud to go on the Red list.

Modiphius new Star Trek Adventures Gm and Players Guide definitely prove they need to stay in the red...

Just skimming the Players guide and in the first 22 pages came across such snippets as: "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are Paramount" pg.9, "A Safe Space in which to Explore" pg.22...

This actually reminded me of something from back in the day. I may start a new thread on it.

But basically my friends and I, who are huge ST:TNG fans argued about the federation of planets. I mean its arguably diverse, equality, and inclusion for starfleet right?

But...my premise was (and I get the TV shows were products of their times and audience, but I think still holds to this day) starfleet isn't populated with social justice warriors. Nor overweight healthy at every size. Starfleet doesn't give a two penny flip what your sexual orientation is. But you saw in starfleet people who wanted to explore; they didn't need safe spaces. They were, for the most part, physically fit. I don't know, just rambling.
