Do you believe the guy with the SS cosplay was a legitimate Nazi, and he was just uncommonly open about it? I find it far more likely that he's obsessed with WW2, likes dress up, and is so disconnected from the emotional/moral connotations of Nazism, that to him it's just dress up, like dressing like a Klingon.

People like that are definitely A Thing.

Edit: Just saw this is the Woke Companies thread. Happy to edit/delete post rather than be banned for off topic posting. Just wanted to make the point that there are genuine Nazi-supporting types out there, including in gaming.

I'd also very much like to end this line of conversation, and thank you for the video it was hilarious.

Don't know if it's real but there is talk online about WoTC sending the Pinkertons (who are apparently still around) after a guy who had some unreleased magic cards or something, if it's true then we are on a whole other level of fucked up.

It happened.

When I see the Nazi-chic that is popular in parts of Asia (look it up) I don't think "OMG, the Fourth Reich!" I think "it's been so long from WW2, to some people it's just a costume."

I would point out that Nazi-chic was a part of the London punk scene in the 70s (http://www.punk77.co.uk/groups/punkthe.htm), when they were doing around people who fought in the war and survived the Blitz and it drew less attention that it does now.

Maybe we should learn something from the people who actually survived the Third Reich about when to lose our shit over people trying to be edgy, much less when they are historical re-enactors of some form.

Case in point, the bikers from Every Which Way But Loose:


Portrayed as antagonists and assholes yes, but no-one was fainting with fear while watching it, up speed dialling the ADL because they thought Warner Bros were supporting the Fourth Reich. Hell, the bikers even got a redemption arc in the next movie!

EDIT: I too just noticed we took this thread on a tangent. Please delete anything as necessary. That's me done.

Received an email advert from Exhalted Funeral that included the compatible Old School Essentials adventure "Zed and Two Noughts" by written by Josh Domanski & Reilly Qyote under the auspices of the "Afterthought Committee."

On/near the copyright page, there is a blurb about keeping your gaming table diverse, anti-fascist, and more.  Sorry I can't provide the verbatim text: it promptly went into my trade pile for store credit at a local used media store.

That said, I rely on this list and thread to make informed choices regarding my purchases and hope we continue to keep it updated.

Links it itch.io
pronouns EVERYWHERE with They/Any
ebegging for handouts in their bio
only made 2 products and they both make Scrap princess art look like Dali

This is the pinnacle of Virtue signaling trash as an RPG group. They aren't worthy to be on the list as they've done nothing.

"They/Any" - a new woke shibboleth to add to the pile.

"I exist mostly on the internet!" - Indeed you certainly do.

Red list these nutcases.

Jeeses! This made me click on the link and out of the whole bunch she seemed to be the most normal. The rest sounded like a bunch of gender confused retards, one of which even mentioned "she/her for now". Yeah, bitch! That's why I don't buy your "transgenderism" is anything but a social media driven brainwashed trend.

"For now", please! Get back to me when you're certain. Actually, I take that back. Keep me out of your delusions.

has the matter of Leyline Press firing an editor and removing their name from their products for the crime of working on a Lamentations of the Flame Princess product?  Seems like RED behavior to me.

Dear all,
Today it has come to our attention that one of our editors on Salvage Union is currently working on Lamentations of the Flame Princess, and has been involved with other problematic works that have received widespread critique for bigotry and other harmful issues. 1/5

We believe that these are highly problematic games by authors and companies whose politics and actions we vehemently disagree with.
While we were unaware of this prior to hiring him, it was our responsibility to check the work history of freelancers we work with. 2/5

We are sorry that we did not do so as carefully as we should. We would also like to be clear that this editor had no developmental role in Salvage Union. He was hired on a freelance basis purely for proofing and editing. 3/5

In order to avoid ourselves and our other contributors being associated with these damaging politics and actions, we have removed the editor's name from all of the Salvage Union books. We will not be working with them again in future. 4/5

We want to apologise to the tabletop community, including our readers and collaborators, for this mistake. We will vet all of our contributors more thoroughly in future. If you have any questions or concerns please get in touch with us directly at hello@leyline.press 5/5

Absolute fucking pussies.   They should be HONORED that they got a LOTFP author instead of ashamed.  This is pure mob catering and they will now be ravaged like a t-rex on a goat for the rest of their existence. They removed his name but kept the work that he did. Hyporcrits.

They are now running scared that the 'grognards' have found their tweets and going to hide in their safe space while they get called out like the children they are.

Also, They've made 4 products. Their current one is a knockoff of "Tales from the Loop" which did over $100k in kickstarter sales.

they are as red as the AntifA fist on the flags they have draped around their bedrooms in their apartment they share with a dozen They/Any pronouned twatwaffles.

It's all part of the ritual: discovering a traitor, cleansing the harm, and a groveling display for forgiveness. You cannot gain access to the inner sanctum of wokeness without performing the ritual!

Seriously, what a bunch of scumbags. It's actually nice to see most of the replies on Twitter calling them out for this shithead behavior.

Hmm, first they refer to him as 'him', then as 'them'. According to their rules, isn't that 'misgendering'? Doesn't that make them evil in the eyes of the woke? If they get red on the list, then misgendering should definitely be listed amongst the reasons.
