Y'all a bunch of heinous list makers too dumb to realize that all games are political.

Want to drive them crazy?

Blatantly ignore them. "Whatever you say, hoss" and then continue doing exactly what you were doing before.

Hey Chuddo,

Just here to submit myself to the red section, what with my work having helped to raise tens' of thousands of dollars for bail funds during the George Floyd uprising, and the fact that I am actively engaged in anti-fascist activism.

So if you could add my zine; The City of the Red Pox, I would appreciate it.

K thx, bye.

Irrelevant people don't get on the list.

This is priceless! Made my day... Exactly what Pundit said. Don't give irrelevant 'no marks' a spot on the list.

What, whoever the fuck I don't actually know his name, is basically saying:

'Uh, hello there. I've written a tiny but highly irrelevant fanzine. I'd like to virtue signal so hard that people might actually hear about me. Ooooh... And I've done charity work too. Because I know for a fact, that no one on that evil yahzee site has ever done anything for charity. Yaaay! I'm off to bake some cupcakes.'

Just saw that Evil Hat pic - Nailed it!

Evil hat trying to get some attention to remain relevant (as per usual):

'No one is giving me any attention. Here have a fart. Damn! They just moved away.'

Sidenote: Ben Wenham's, uh, 'zine' is for... Troika? Does anyone actually play Troika? I had to look it up, I'd never even heard of it.

Hey Pundit, are there any other notable designers that still post here except for you, Venger, and occasionally Grim Jim? If there are, then they might belong on the green list. I mean, just posting here is probably enough to get you labeled "reactionary" or something similar by the wokies.

Melan / Gabor Lux posts here.

Id say we put him in the green list if his only crime was coming here to troll us.

Nope.

Anyone who says that "Capitalism is shite." in their Kickstarter and then deliberately trolls for attention to fund the same Kickstarter will not be rewarded by me for their efforts.

I actually have Troika. It uses the AFF (advanced fighting fantasy) rules. It's an odd ball game, but I like it a lot. It's very old school but quite strange at the same time. I'd recommend it if you like - whimsy and weirdness mixed with the old school.

That said, I'd say most of the so-called 'Zines' vary in quality (unless it's a release from the actual Author). A very niche market all the same. I rarely trust the reviews of these zines on drivethru. I recommend Tenkar's video on youtube, if you want to know more about 'reviews' on certain retailer websites).

Yeah, I just checked his profile. He should definitely be on the Green list. He sounds like an anti-SJW.

I bought it, and to me it's dumb as hell. I think it shoots for "gonzo" and misses the mark, comes out "Hunter S. Thompson on the worst trip he ever experienced on the road with William S. Burroughs." A whole lot of "weird for the sake of weird" with no coherence at all.

Granted. It's not a very coherent piece of work... After checking out his patreon some time ago. I think it's somewhat of a living game. So, it's subject to more material being added - So I'm not sure it's complete per se. There's a fair bit of work for the GM to do. But I kind of like that, YMMV.

From my experience people only play Troika with short campaigns or one-shots as the system doesn't really support long term too well without essentially becoming a story game. That's probably it's biggest pitfall, along with Electric Bastionland/Into the Odd since they have a similar issue. Otherwise, for super short stuff, it works quite well (really liking Acid Death Fantasy, which is essentially Troika x Dune)

Yeah, it's defintly better for the shorter game, or mini-campaign.

I remember that Shawn Driscoll also posts here occasionally and he did contribute a lot of artwork to Traveller games, but he doesn't sell his own work to my knowledge, so he's probably not eligible for this list.

I sell my artwork. People often want HD versions of my art for their sci-fi books and RPGs. The stuff you see on my Pinterest or DeviantArt is free to download and use as long as you credit me is all. I haven't released any games that I've designed. They're still for my own use (proprietary software, Universe/Life Generators, etc). I do have some gaming tools on GitHub though.

I don't know if this was shared yet.

Maybe we need a new category for the 'irrelevant people' who are so pathetic they had to come here and beg to be put on the list for advertising purposes...
