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.

I do not understand why people are concerned it is an "enemies list".   The word enemy in modern context means lots of things, and the fact is PLENTY of people over on that left side of the room view A LOT of people as enemies.  So what if it is an enemies list?   Just avoid people who do not like you and it all works out IMO.

I think they're concerned with it as an optics thing, because if they get it characterized as an "enemies" list then they can easily just act like "oh the evil brown shirts are trying to cancel us poor me donate to my Patreon" and also get the list to no longer be consumer positive in the view of public discourse.

I think this is what Ocule meant by people asking to be put on the list as a way to get free marketing from woke Twitter. Tbh there is a single copy of his zine out, that's 36 pages, that has hardly sold. Why bother?

I'm not a prevalent author by any means, but I may have sold more stuff than that guy.

I have written for some companies and have stopped due to their wokeness. One such company is Aegis Studios (Glimpse the Beyond, Odysseys & Overlords, Contagion RPG for Savage Worlds, etc.) which should probably be added to the red list as Travis Legge is pretty much a 100% SJW.

Just looked up Travis as well, he might already be covered under Onyx Path since he does also work for them.

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.

Was amused to see in my emails notification that you had responded.

To your point, your presence on the list confused my on that point.

After all; I, an absolute nobody freelancer, have worked on the same number of Gold sellers(you've had 4 right) on drive thru, plus a platinum seller, which you don't seem to have done. Add to that, the fact two of those golds are in off set print runs for a relatively large publisher, so you know, have probably sold the odd copy.

Then there is the fact that, The City of the Red Pox, has according to the publicly available sales data out sold The Invisible College. 

Keep in mind that The City of the Red Pox was my first solo project, came out of no where, wasn't supported by a you tube channel, blog and little cult of personality.

So if I as an irrelevance, which I freely admit to being, am not to be added to the list....Why are you on it?

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

What a hypocrite he is. He does not like a public list, so he makes a public list of people he hates for following others that think differently than himself, and in doing so, gets some lady harassed so bad that they leave Twitter. He has the audacity to use hashtags like #dobetter and #getbetter when he just does the same, but worse. :-o

B/X for LIFE!

I'll just leave this here:

"You are Rowan. You are Fat."  ;D ;D ;D

Looks like cope the Kickstarter. Still only 181 backers so not really big imo. Although it is at least triple digits

Man, I'd say they have 181 backers and 0.1 players. It's all about 'support'!  ;D

As far as I'm concerned it's cool to slag off fat people, as I am one!!

Nobody cares how well you massage your numbers to make it seem like you are more relevant than a guy who has sold over 100x more books than you.

Likewise Zines and splat tend to sell more than rulebooks anyways, as they are lower cost and made for diehard fans of a system (and Troika is huge on Itch.io, especially with the Troika Zine jams). The fact that a zine hardly outsold an actual rulebook, if it even actually did, is more of an admission of defeat, if anything.

Also by this logic since pundit worked on 5th edition he's probably got this loser beat in that realm too.

True, 5e is huge, which is even more hysterical considering how poorly some of the new books are doing

I guess selective reading is a thing now
