SPECIAL NOTICE
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.

Go-go Ernie Gygax. Please don't let us down, I want old TSR back SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.

Prepare for eternal disappointment.

Can't blame a man for having a dream. Though you'd think there'd be more bitterness towards the TSR that pushed Gary out

I am sure that TBP was trying to redeem she who must not be named.

I have a dream that someday you will change the name of one of my favorite games and game companies on your list.

Robert Adducci has since left Ulisses Spiele.  Not sure if that should fully move them from Yellow, but it looks like the major reason they were listed there.  They have not announced a replacement yet, so it may be best to reserve judgment.  Their US subsidiary looks to be in a bit of disarray, so I'm not sure they've got time or reason to make a full-throated declaration one way or the other. 

At least their products don't club me over the head with in-my-face messaging, so I appreciate that.

I found the pages in the fallout book about the safety tools, i had to borrow a copy. That pissed me off, not only i roll my eyes whenever they bring up "safety tools" but they took it a step further by just about demanding you use them, tell you that you really need them and then proceeding to instruct you on how to have a social interaction with another human being like im some kind of freakin child.

The weird part though is there is no preaching anywhere else in that book that i could find, making those two pages seem so out of place. Either way i'm not going to buy a copy but I wouldnt be surprised if that started to show up more frequently.
Oh yeah, I noticed that too, that's part of why I think it was a mandate made by either Bethesda, the RPGA, or some other secondary company.  Because all the woke takes for the diversity checklist is condensed into that single two page spread then never appears again.
Much like the mid-2010s "Hi I'm trans!" mandate the RPGA had, it's just kinda jarring, appears once, then never comes up again.

I'd like to thank Ocule for making this list and the powers that be for updating it constantly.  This has saved me a mountain of cash from throwing good money at bad people/products also making me look deeper into what is being sold to identify any of those "red flags" that I find absolutely irritating in current year TTRPG products.

Pinnacle Entertainment (Green) - Bent the knee much to my own disappointment, retconning "problematic" settings like Deadlands due to SJW complaints that "the civil war ending in a draw is triggering, the confederacy must lose!" Even though that removes the core of the settings existence. That said I wouldn't write them off as red as they simply say "Yes, we made this change" then refused to elaborate further.  While they may bend, they have not as of yet bowed.  Really hope they turn things around. - Yellow
How Pinnacle isn't at least Yellow is beyond me. Their website (https://peginc.com/faq/) has an inclusivity statement, as does their "World Builder and Game Master's Guide" (page 15, under "All Are Welcome").

Jodi Black (PEG's Chief Operations Officer, Managing Editor, Social Media Admin and Wife of Savage World's Co-Creator) made an "admin" post on Facebook in 2020 and told Savage Worlds fans they could no longer refer to each other as "Savages" (a term SW fans have used for many years) on social media because the term is derogatory to "indigenous cultures". Then claims it's okay that they keep the term in their game's name because they don't mean it that way. Screenshot attached.
Another reason I think Pinnacle Entertainment Group (Savage Worlds) should be at least Yellow is their relationship with Sean Patrick Fannon and Evil Beagle Games (who is listed as Red). After Sean was accused of sexual harrassment, PEG took a step back and removed Sean as lead designer on Savage Rifts. They still let Sean in through the backdoor though -- PEG currently licenses Evil Beagle Games as an "Ace" 3rd party producer and promotes Evil Beagle Games with a direct link to their site from PEG's website (https://peginc.com/aces-licensees/). PEG also promotes Evil Beagle Games products and Kickstarter campaigns (screenshot) through their social media.

Another one for the list, I was digging around for crunchy sci-fi games to scratch an itch I've been having and kept seeing the name "Eclipse Phase" by Postuman Studios coming up.

On Page 2 I was worried when I saw a big red box talking about "sex, gender-identity, pronouns, and the singular they"
On page 3 I closed the PDF and deleted the waste of 9 MB.  "A note on politics...Everything is political...we write with our bias'...We are radical liberal inclusive antifa."

Posthuman Studios (Red), screenshot of the full "A note on politics" attached.  Page 3 of their quickstart rules available on their site.  At least they're up front about it.

With every such note I make notice to pirate their game, and then run it straight against everything they believe and possibly stream it just for fun.

Poking my nose in over at the Eclipse Phase official site, it looks kinda dead.

Last posts on the forum were in 2020. Last blog entry was on 10/27/21.

Maybe Posthuman Studios has become post-employed.

You don't need to pirate their game as they give away all the rules for free due to their Creative Commons license:

Rob Boyle is one of the owners/authors of Eclipse Phase, this is his site.

I love the setting and was sad to see they went down the rabbit hole of SJWdom.

Mind you, that's only the first edition stuff, not 2E (except for the quickstart rules).
