Yeah, I just looked at her thumbs, no red flag.  Watched a video where she was making a dungeon centered game with mechanics for dungeon use built in.  She was pissed she had to change her art and game mechanics for a new game she was putting out due to OGL change.  I went to her main site, didn't see anything leftarded.  So far, it looks to be an actual game developer putting out an OSR game.  The art style used is right out of 1E as well.

I think you can add Limited Run Games to the list even though they're primarily a video game company. They fired an employee for following @libsoftiktok and @stillgray after some leftist bitched and moaned about the fact that the employee was looking forward to a new Harry Potter something or other.

QuoteSo when I say trans men are men and trans women are women, or black lives matter, I'm not making a political statement. I'm acknowledging that every person should have the freedom to be who they feel they truly are. Or to not be systematically degraded so that society views some people as lesser or inferior.

Trans men are men; trans women are women definitely IS a political statement.  It's demanding others to accept and conform to affirming and validating that people are who they TRULY ARE NOT.  Declaring something biologically untrue because of ideology is purely political.

Note for the curious:  Google suppresses the results using the General Search, you must use Advanced Search and use the specific phrase "black confederate officer", and you'll find plenty of links and sources for men such as Tobias Spurlock and others.

It also worth noting there are historians in the past few years (i.e. the woke-period) that now claim no black soldiers willingly fought on behalf of the South.  Blatant revisionism on par with The 1619 Project.

Another reason to use Duck Duck Go.

I understand DDG has its issues, lots of them.  But Screwgle's search results are definitely worse.

Duck Duck Go actively censors information.  Duck Duck Go actively hires on race and genital hole preference.  Duck Duck go is Googles retarded step child with worse search results and same censorship as Google.

I use Brave Search myself. DDG just uses Google with a filter. Brave is an independent database created from its own internet spiders.

Hello, are you me? This is how I think as well.

Back on topic: Have we decided where Goblinoid Games goes now?

yellow and not like it matters as he's closing up shop AFAIK

Were there new developments? I thought he's still on track to publishing LL2

Kobold press seems to be listed twice under both Yellow and Red.

  He thought about it after negative reaction to the first preview of LL2E, but appears to have rallied. He's said that if WotC kills the OGL, he's going to release the old Wizard's World game to which he's acquired the rights.

If I'm posting in the right place, I'm surprised that DWD Studios is not mentioned yet.  Okay, maybe it's small even among small RPG companies.  They have a few games based on a sort of percentile system, and they always include useful adventure generation and villain generation material.  If you sniff the company, I believe they should be Green.

They even use their percentile system for the game ART OF WUXIA, based on mythical Chinese stories, but they make no apologies or breast-beating for being non-Asians writing a game with an Asian theme.  They only say, "Just as BareBones Fantasy loosely reflects the myths and stories of medieval Europe, Art of Wuxia loosely reflects the myths and stories of ancient China, especially as portrayed in wuxia films."  At the back of the book they help people learn the genre with some movie and TV series picks.  And that's all!  Just keep it loose, and don't give people any political hassles.

I'll second DwD Studios. They've never been political before, and they're some of the nicest game designers I know. They aren't even active on social media haha.

Another game designer I'd like to nominate for the Green is Word Mill Games, creator of Mythic GM Emulator (the first GM emulator). The owner is Tana Pigeon, a trans woman, but to my knowledge, she has never once talked about pushing for the mutilation of children, political candidates, BLM, etc. Not in her newsletters nor social media.

I misspoke: He's going to open it up as an open game.

But it's just a typical AD&D clone...it has a couple good ideas, but honestly it's exactly the sort of game all of us probably made at one time or another in our pursuit to fix parts of AD&D we thought were wrong. Add a stat or two, rename some stuff, DEMON HALFLINGS!!!!, oh look at my cool custom classes! Yeah, exactly that. I'm not saying it's a *bad* game, just that honestly who gives a fuck? Open it or don't, it'll still just be another knock-off of the real thing.

depends what he opens it up as and for. I've seen 2 "open" licenses already come out and they use the same type of wording that WOTC has for governing what you can and cannot make your product on in regards to being "Acceptable". 

No license can be truly considered "open" unless it is utterly agnostic as to what kind of content you make regardless of how deplorable or holy it is.
