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.

Not too different from the posters here that need safe spaces from the big bad woke game companies, eh?

  More a "let's avoid forcing our money and support on companies that want us driven out of the hobby," really.  ;)
Why do you think they want "us" driven out of thr hobby?

"sensitivity" "safe"

Special, sensitive snowflakes need their safe spaces.

And if one of these special snowflakes feels unsafe, then don't worry ... Free League will "coordinate" to "remedy" the "situation".

Red flags much?

My Kindergarten was rougher than this.

Are you gay?

Fact is, I have both "Alien" and "Coriolis" from Free League publishing and there is nothing woke in both settings. As long as they don't tell me "Don't use facehuggers in your games if your players are uncomfortable with the concept" or, worse "We decided to flat out eliminate facehuggers from Alien because they were a metaphor for rape. Oh, BTW, the Aliens are now all white!" they can have all the rules they want for convention gaming.
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

The Design Mechanism should go in the red column.

I've seen you make statements like this several times, but I keep missing the details. Care to explain for us slow folks in the audience?  :)
They had a TDS-style YouTube video (since deleted) basically saying if you voted for a certain someone, you're not allowed to buy their RPG.

But, before this statements, did you like their game? If so, it doesn't really matter, just ignore their statement and keep buying what you like. If not, then it litwrally doesn't matter.

Gotta say I am surprised Monte Cook Games isn't in the red yet. They are the ones who put out the Consent in Gaming document and are the ones who decided to coin the term 'safety tool's if I remember correctly.
Anything with Shanna Germain's name on it should be in the Red.

Steve Jackson Games is Green. They refused to bow to the Cancel Mob over the Bill Webb incident. Phil Reed got a ban (temporary?) for trying to explain to the purple idiots that the disad "slave mentality" in Gurps has zero to do with slavery, but they were too infantile and scared of words to comprehend.
If Steve Jackson gets canceled from his company by his own employees, then we'll know the current atmosphere there.

Then ultimately, it is YOU making it political. So much for "can't we just play games and have fun."

This guy seems to not understand the idea of not supporting those who hate you, whether that support is monetary or by just supporting the game in general by playing it at the table.

And he's banging her and wants to continue doing so.  We can expect the wokeness to continue.

honestly, who the hell is Shanna Germain? What has she done?

there is this gaggle of "gamer industry girls" who pretend like they have actually created something important, or a game that anyone plays. And to make up for their lack of talent and imagination, they get all woke, and make crazy pronouncements on social media, show up at conventions and try to manipulate the desperate gamer guys --the whole thing is pathetic.

doesn't mean a girl couldn't produce an awesome RPG --surprised one hasn't

but these chicks hover around and expect us to bow down or recognize them. Yeah, lol

Monte Cook has always been a hack. I remember reading some of his 2nd edition stuff back in the day and being like "is it just me, or does this kind of suck"? I thought I had outgrown the hobby --no, I had just recognized Cook's hack content for what it was

I think your presumption of hate is silly. They don't care about you. You're unimportant to them. Their statements are just for virtue signaling.

Quote from: rgalex on August 04, 2021, 02:52:50 PMIf this is as "woke" as they get... I'm ok with that.

I'm not saying they're woke, I'm saying they are hypocrites. Creating a policy for the sole purpose of kicking people out of convention games and using the "gaming is for everyone" nonsense to justify it. And setting the ludicrously low bar that all you need to be kicked out is to make someone else "uncomfortable".
