I haven't written any RPG material since the 3e days and with the way the industry is going, I doubt I will again. I haven't bought a new RPG or book in years, to be honest. I definitely would not "fit" in with the neon haired land-whale furries that have corrupted most of the publishers these days.

What were we talking about? I feel like it was some guy and how he couldn't even sell candy to children. Oh well.

Maybe he goes to schools and tries to give it away from the safety of his window-less van. :-p ;-)

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?

:: WINK ::

You're hilarious. After getting yourself banned for trying to post private information about me, I probably don't need to respond to this but I will: you worked as a collaborator on some big projects.

This is like a guy who held up the mikes during the recording of some corporate record claiming he has credits on just as many gold records as an indie singer/songwriter who people have actually heard of.

Not to mention that in almost every one of these projects you were probably paid a pittance. "Freelance writers" who work "for the industry" in the world of RPGs want to pretend that they're the "real" game designers, when really they're just hired monkeys who write for almost nothing. What was it, one cent a word? two? five? Or just for the "exposure" of getting your name in a credits section of a book?

Your one solo project was a complete failure, much like yourself. Your entire life's work in gaming has probably earned you, at most, around what I make from RPGs in a month.

No one knows who you are. When you die, no one will even notice you're not around in the hobby anymore. That's how irrelevant you are.

Goddamn... that was amazing...

That just earned you a sale, buddy.

What is with all the woke art being bad with weird proportions like the heads looking too big and stuff like that?

They hate art as a representation of an aesthetic ideal. They want to present everything as deformed, ugly or corrupted because they hope it means people will stop striving to improve themselves, or look up to those who do.

Ugly depictions in the game art is a Big Red Flag for potential SJW involvement.

i.e. Five Torches Deep RPG.

When it first came out there were no overt indications about the politics of the authors.

It got good reviews, was a decent design, rode the OSR/O5R wave a bit and has sold very well.

If you read the sales blurb on drive-thru or the games website, there are no indications of politics of any kind. Neither are there any over politics in the book itself.

It was only when the supplements came out and the games authors took to twitter that all the SJW wankery was fully revealed.

But if you look at the art in the book there is a tell.

What is the typical depiction of elves in fantasy books and RPGs?

Beautiful and fair.  Regardless about their setting behavior, elves being good looking is basically a universal given.

But in 5 torches deep: The elves are drawn plain and Ugly.

The authors telegraphed who they were long before they removed all doubt.

These people can't help themselves, if you know what to look for they almost always give themselves away in some fashion.

I would like to play a game made by a genuine alt-righter. I'm talking about bonafide white nationalist. It's this morbid curiosity of mine. I'm really interested to see what kind of game that kind of person would make. The problem is, I can't find any of them in the industry. You would think that fantasy worlds about mythical heroes would be a ground zero for Alt-Righters, but that doesn't appear to be the case. So, I'm asking you. Do you know some white nationalist/Fascist that works in the RPG/Tabletop industry? Even if it's someone obscure, tell me.

I know about MYFAROG and RaHoWa, but those are not professional products and, frankly, they aren't that good from what I saw.

Also, I should add:

1. Please don't make this thread into a political debate. I'm not interested in defending nor condemning this kind of people. I'm just interested in their products (if they exist).
2. I'm not necessarily looking for alt-right games, but alt-right creators. Their games can be about anything, racist or not.
3. If you know someone fitting this description or if you are someone fitting this description, but don't want to go public with that information, send me a PM.

This is my first post on this site. What a way to start huh?

This has also been your only thread on this site.

Did you ever find your game made by a genuine alt-righter? Inquiring minds want to know.....

Oh yeah, you were also a contributor to Traveller. Jeff Hopper, right? Do you have anything that we could plug in here?

Back in the day, Jeff was hoping to become a professional Traveller Referee for Mongoose Publishing and get paid to go to game conventions. But he's a crap role-player.

Unfortunately, you might want to put OSE in the Yellow category.  Gavin Norman fired and basically canceled his previous collaborator for social media posts that weren't woke a couple years before the game came out.  And he's closely tied to that Diogo Nogueira dude who has written (and badly illustrated) modules and other things for OSE.

Evidence of that? I know he worked a lot with Diogo but he always dodged politics in interviews and the like. Shame if he did do that, Gavin seems like a fairly nice guy and OSE is a really good product imo.

Edit: also if involving Diogo at all is enough to put someone on yellow, then a good chunk of the OSR is there because he has essentially dipped his fingers in every pie, somehow, despite his art being at best ok, and at worst absolute garbage (look at the Hyperborea 3e unveiled Pyromancer art for example)

Not true. Humorous, but also a lie.

Professional Traveller Referees who get paid have never existed, not now and not back then. Mongoose Publishing certainly would not spend the coin to send one to game conventions.

As far as being a crap role-player, opinions vary. Since I think of this as a hobby and not a profession, I guess it doesn't matter as long as I have fun. I might be a crap role-player and I might not, how would you ever know?

Gavin, like Chris Gonnerman of Basic Fantasy, may be left-wing, but both of them have specifically said that they want their games to be apolitical.  Gavin shut down a thread on the OSE Facebook page where someone wanted to talk about bringing more diversity to OSE, complete with a picture of a black woman holding a rainbow flag.  Gavin said he was for diversity, but the post was "significantly off-topic" for the official OSE Facebook page, and ended the thread. 

That seems green to me.

Yeah lets hang people based on their actions and not on their associations.

If you pay someone, you're actively supporting them.
