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.

Welp, Catalyst has now done the stupid thing. They are already people posting being blocked for even asking questions about this. The thread is all you need to see.

*Hngh* I like that Catalyst has kept classic Battletech alive, and I like their sculpts for the minis. But they continue to make it hard for me to support them as a company if they keep nudging towards wokie political nonsense in how they deal with their fans.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Kobold Press is on both the Yellow List, and the Red List; with the same text entry.

It's everywhere. Fucking Halo celebrated it, and Cortana is the closest a woman got to that game.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

I didn't but I never knew I wanted it so much.  That image is the perfect personifcation of stunning bravery of the average feminist who celebrates the holiday.   The disdainful sneers are spot on and the portrayals perfectly capture their inner and outer beauty.

Exalted Funeral has forced another creator to submit. They're putting Outcast Silver Raiders through the struggle session. I fully expect that is anything further comes out for Outcast Silver Raiders it will be utter crap.

From the Outcast Silver Raider Discord:
@everyone At the advice of Exalted Funeral, I had a sensitivity reader come in to take a look at the books before the upcoming second printing. Most of their feedback was around minor language changes to make clear that there is no exclusionary intent in some situations where it could have been unclear.

One large change that was a miss from me was using the phrase "Spirit Animal" in the Referee's Compendium and throughout The Mythic North. I had a blind spot here and didn't take the time to consider the origins of that phrase, or how it is a clear and insensitive co-opting of meaningful terminology for indigenous cultures and religions.

There's a big difference between the considered satirical inclusion of an institution like the Catholic Church, which has been part of the power structure of the world for millennia, and the casual misappropriation of a chronically marginalized and exploited culture.

I can't do anything about the first printing at this point but apologize, but I'd like to do so now. I'm sorry I missed on this, and regret putting something racist out there in the world.

For the second printing and associated updated PDFs, this error (among others) has been corrected. These edits do nothing to change the content, texture, or horrific spirit of Outcast Silver Raiders. They simply make a bit more effort towards ensuring everyone can enjoy the occult medieval madness without feeling excluded or marginalized.

Just more typical BS.  Remember folks... it's ok to discriminate and ridicule some people and things but not others for the same reason!   I'm not particularly knowledgeable with this company nor the cancel pigs they're bending over for.  Are they big fish in the OSR pond?

They're small fish, but their box set for Outcast Silver Raiders was well received. I thought well of it, and if they were to do any subsequent work I would have been highly interested. Now that they have sensitivity readers looking over their shoulders I'll be taking a hard pass on them.

   Yes ... one is the object of special hatred by the forces driving the spirit of the age, while the other just falls under their general contempt and hatred for humanity as a whole.

This person was gelded and now carries his balls around in his purse, explaining to all who will listen why he deserved it.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

More evidence of the rot within Catalyst Games Labs. https://www.sarna.net/news/getting-the-word-out-with-rem-alternis-catalyst-community-marketing-director/
She admits to that purging any dissent within the community has been an ongoing goal. And how can you be the community manager of a product you are barely familiar with unless you are the diversity hire that she so obviously is.

But then CGL like the Clans when everyone knows they were only created to give people who sucked at the game a way to win battles.

In other words, we pretend to be sensitive, but Anti-Catholicism is one bigotry that we embrace.

Wow, remind me never buy this craziness. It makes me think, is there a kind of "Sweet Baby Inc" corporation working with RPG companies we could call-out like this one was called-out in video games?
