Abbo, Thorn, Rhymer, S'mon, Jaseoffire, Meganova Stella, Ratman, Cathode Ray, and there may be others I missed: this is a WARNING. Post off-topic on this thread again, EVEN TO "REPLY" TO A TROLL'S ARGUMENT TRYING TO DERAIL THE THREAD with anything other than "this is off topic", and you may be banned.

I think you are being a bit harsh with these bans. It's easy to get derailed off-topic in these kinds of discussions. Maybe just ban them from this thread? Or give them a one-month timeout? I mean, it's your website, so you can do whatever you want, but I think it's a bit too much.

This thread is huge enough as it is without spergs going off tangent and topic to whatever nonsense they feel like spewing out of their mouth to prove their point. The harder you crack down on The Stupid the less likely people will come and start chasing Squirrel's thrown out by Trolls.

Back on topic: HeroMaps are good people. I spoke with them and they are friendly, helpful, and kind sorts (welcoming a new one to their family) and want to make good maps that people enjoy.  I honestly believe they were swept up in the BLM-nonsense like others were.  Plus i think they are Australian?

Art of the Genre: Solid Green. The work they do with their old school Orange spine edition books, straight up Conanesque Vallejo covers and all around solid group with amazing products should go on the Green list.  Their KS' are the antithesis of woke and great Old School classics.

I'm wondering if Games Workshop needs to be on yellow or red due to the thread that tenbones posted?

https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376722-gw-drops-liber-chaotica-until-its-revised/

The long-announced position of Liber Chaotica, unfortunately, will not be published in Polish for reasons beyond our control. We realize that this information is disappointing and even devastating for you. You can believe us that we feel the same way. Liber Chaotica is an esteemed title that many of you have been waiting for. We feel obliged to provide you with an explanation of the situation. Games Workshop - the owner of the rights to the Warhammer brands - has pointed out that Liber Chaotica, originally released in 2006, contains content that is inconsistent with the company's values now, almost 20 years later. Therefore, Liber Chaotica cannot be published in Polish in its known form, and probably there will be no reprints of this item in the English version. Of course, we are saddened by this fact, but as a publisher, we understand that Games Workshop cares about the company's image. This is a priority for them and we have no choice but to accept our partner's decision. This is a very difficult situation for us. We devoted a lot of time and work to this position. We would like to thank the team: Grzegorz Bonikowski, Piotr Narloch, Janek Podraza, Joanna Podraza, Paweł Potakowski, Adam Stefańczyk and Rafał Zduński, for their commitment. We had no influence on the situation, but we still feel obliged to apologize to you, our readers, for not being able to provide you with the long-awaited title. We're really sorry about that. Does Liber Chaotica have a chance to appear in the future? We do not know. It has been suggested that this could happen after the text is first changed on the Black Library side to match today's Games Workshop standards. Will there be anything to replace Liber Chaotica? Yes. We have obtained permission to release the album The Horus Heresy - Visions of Heresy, but for obvious reasons it will have to wait. We thank you in advance for your understanding regarding this situation.

They should be yellow IMO. Here's a translation of the Polish FB post from another forum (the FB post itself seems to have been deleted):

I don't know if this counts for anything, but I recently got Cy_Borg (a cyberpunk hack for Mörk Borg), and it had a sensitivity reader.
Now nothing in the book was woke, I just thought it was weird that this black metal inspired game set in a post apocalyptic neon hellscape where life is cheap, nothing mattered and you're going to die brutally and alone was a weird place to see a sensitivity reader. I'm not a fan of the genre, but wasn't the whole point of black metal to be as blasphemous and offensive as possible?

I'm surprised they aren't already from the "Warhammer is for Everyone" stuff and how it was used against certain fans, especially on YouTube.

I don't know that they qualify as "RED" for the purposes of this list, but they've been on my personal red list ever since they told customers like me not to buy from them, and I won't be missed.  They had pissed me off with the Youtube thing already.  GW seems to be in a race with Disney to see just how bad they can damage their own brand.
