Quote from: JamesV;828737If the rest of Anthony's blog is as good as that last post,...
It is--Anthony isn't one of those guys who just writes whatever whenever he feels like it, he updates only rarely but when he does, it's a long, solid chunk of thought-out, digestible gameable material.

Buy something. 100% of the proceeds go toward legal action against people this forum hates.

Congrats to a good writer for getting a gig.  Shame on the SJW for suppressing creativity and free thought.  They will all be eaten by their children.

Quote from: CRKrueger;828713They should have done the best of both worlds.
- Keep the original Thunder Plains as is since the complaints against it were horseshit.
- Hired the new guy to do a new badass supplement.
that does seem the best way to go around it

in some ways it might not make a lot of in setting sense to do so but we will have to wait for it to come out to know that

Can multiple Recursion with similar themes exist? Like a Leave it Beaver Plesantville like 50s Recursion and a "Greasers cool street toughs 50s style recursion?
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Absolutely. There's pretty much no limit on recursions. So you could have a "racist stereotype Injun" recursion based on popular misconceptions next door to one that's actually fairly historically accurate that was created thousands of years ago by the stories of a real native people living along the Pacific coast. And over there? There might be one that was created by an obsessed Cleveland Indians fan who watched Major League too many times. That one's really weird.

So... on-point.

Unfortunately this is not the case. Which is annoying as all hell.

Why didnt they just have this guy make an amazing new native american setting for them?

Instead the SJWs score a (minor? major?) victory. The game has to be retooled and possibly delayed. And we can expect to see more of this bullying. (Not like there was  exactly a dearth of it before.)

its a minor victory for them but how much they got shot down in the surender speech was awesome

While I've rolled my eyes at some over-the-top accusations of Cultural Appropriation out there, I think that it's a good bonus to include a writer who's from the actual culture that's being written about. It can bring in some perspective and detail that we might otherwise miss.

It seems to be a little column A and a little Column B but generally I think it was a good move.

That's pretty cool. You can really keep your players guessing and draw on allot of inspirational material. Though if this game is set in the modern age some of the Internet inspired Recursions probably redefine bizarre...
