I had just heard about Coyote & Crow a couple of days ago and came here to find out if it had made it onto this list. Lo and behold! It has.

Not even considering that it stole its entire setting from Degenesis: Rebirth, thanks to this site, I will definitely NOT be spending any of my money on it due to its wokeness.

Are there any newer/upcoming RPGs that look like they are NOT submitting to SJW garbage?

I'd like to find some in different categories (Fantasy, Western, Sci-Fi, etc.)

Autarch has just released Ascendant, a super hero RPG.
Alex Macris is definitely not woke, he's a soft spoken libertarian sort who got Cancelled for doing work for Milo.

Modiphius altered some of the Conan material to cater to "modern sensiblities."  They altered one of the books (the Africa-based one) so much that the original writer quit.  It's my understanding that they did the same with the Khitai (Asia) book, but I stopped paying attention at that point.  I do know from personal experience that one of their board moderators pushed back against some of the ridiculous wokeness going on there, defending me and re-posting something fairly innocuous and historical material I posted there which had been flagged and deleted by someone else, but that guy unfortunately passed away.

Thanks much for this.  It seems they are in the phase where they just do some silly things to avoid the hassle of dealing with SJW's but haven't gone off the deep end (yet).  So the yellow they are at is right where they belong.

I have Conan the Wanderer on PDF and would love to know what's changed from the original.  My read through last year didn't kick off anything that screamed this modified for modern sensibilities.

Also, how unbelievably boring, to create a game where everything is made more bland on purpose.
If they were going to do a game where all the Europeans died and no one came to the Americas, then they should have done it right, one where the various North American tribes are small groups of squabbling warring forces plus a couple of larger confederacies, all of whom distrust or hate each other, having to face the oncoming storm of a growing Aztec empire seeking to plunge the whole continent into a never-ending nightmare of Imperialist oppression and human sacrifice.

Now that sounds like a fun game. And there could be a European expansion for those who wanted to play scenarios after contact.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out

Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout

Where would y'all position Elf Lair Games (Jason V). I'm reading through Night Shift, which is sort of an OSR/New hybrid thing that is Buffy/Angel/Jim Butcher with the serial numbers filed off. There's some basic stuff about use of pronouns (a kind of "even it up" back and forth effort in the writing, so there's balance). I haven't noticed any political virtue signaling in the book... anyone encounter junk in other venues? (Makes me think Eden Studios is worth check into also, but they're effectively a dead company, I'd guess).

Wrath of God

Quotehaving to face the oncoming storm of a growing Aztec empire seeking to plunge the whole continent into a never-ending nightmare of Imperialist oppression and human sacrifice.

I don't think it was in any serious way threat.
Aztecs were nationalistic regime, persecuting everyone around, mostly fellow Nahua people, they lack any means of fast travel. And their city-states were prone to violent collapse - it happened before, and even without Cortez it would happen again, with Tlaxlaxans or other neighbours taking prime seat around. Lakotas or Cheerokes were about as endangered by it as Corded Ware tribes by cruel policies of Imperial Akkad.

I mean it seems so. Unlike those guys from Malians in Outer Spaces, who just said - use any mechanics whatsoever for our setting, here there was description of D12 pool of dice mechanics.
