Quote from: Zenoguy3 on February 04, 2025, 01:12:27 PMYea, BGG is good for finding stuff like community made manuals and reference sheets. I never bother with its forums or reviews, aside from getting a general overview from its scoring system.

Finding RPGs on the RPG side is a mess because they have no slue what an RPG even is and the database is a mire of individual articles and convoluted structure for even finding what you want. And you will not find it if the staff censors it.

Searching for board games is -mostly- ok.

Quote from: Reckall on February 04, 2025, 09:44:50 AMI never saw "shady" in wargames, which is what I use BBG the most. Of the other games I play (mostly Arkham Horror LCG, Lord of the Rings LCG, Journeys in Middle-earth, and Mansions of Madness 2E)

Its there, just behind the curtain more. BGG will doctor a games rating if you grease a few palms. And they can, and have multiple times, given an older games ratings to a new edition "because they are the same game!" yeah right. How much did they bribe you this time BGG?

Its alot like RPG.net. I've been on there for a really long time and never had any trouble.

1) Apparently Hârn has gone woke, if gay dwarves, increasing amount of boss babes, progressive
   views on inclusivity, along with anti-conservatism counts. All of the writers/artists are
   freelancers, though CGI approves of this by publishing that stuff. The fanatic fandom is starting
   to get pissed off, bit by bit.

   CGI should likely be atleast on yellow, the product line is not saturated enough to be on red, yet.

   You can make your own conclusions, before the post is removed, this just the tip of the iceberg, mind you;

2) I do not know about Kelestia Productions since they have different writers, though the boss babe
   energy is strong in the latest HarnMaster Kethira.

3) Also, UNI Games is not listed, the current license holder for Tekumel products, it should be on
   red.

The owner of BGG banned me for life, because there was a forum thread on "nudity in early RPG games."  All I did was make a joke: "I just came here to see the pictures".  I was banned from posting for 3 days. 

I noticed during my posting suspension that people were posting fringe left-wing politics in non-political forums, a violation of the policy (they took the political forums down since pro-freedom people were also able to make points that can be seen).  They were real violators, and yet not being banned.  Anyway, Octavius, Michael M whoever is his real name, said, "reporting violations is also a violation" (exact quote), and "I decide if a topic is political," (It was very political), and inexplicably banned me for life.  It was inexplicably, because the reasoning made no logical sense.

Sad news about Harn. Bought the map and supplements back in the olden times and have always enjoyed using it as a setting. The system was a convoluted mess but the detailed maps and medieval atmosphere was nice.

Modiphius also publishes the English version of The Troubleshooters and while it's a neat little system for innocent cartoon-style adventures, it does slip in endorsement of NATO, rewrites world history, and has a campaign based around a sunken Nazi U-boat. I'd say their 'red' categorization is appropriate, if not only to have a heads-up that they obviously have political commentary they wish to push alongside even their more innocent games.

Bundle of Holding's latest bundle is the "Resistance Bundle", titled "Punch Nazis!", which all seems very TDS given the timing. The charity is pro-Palestine.

I looked at the Bundle of Holding website

we need a new classification of red for them

So, CGI said all that? Nope. Did you read what you linked to? The people posting are just people posting.

I understand your reaction, though like I mentioned in my OP, this is just the tip of the iceberg, there is a ton more of where it came from. Part of it is inside info, which wont be "in the headlines". Since you seem to be a Harniac yourself, ask around and you'll see, you don't have to take my word for it.

CGI markets Harn as "the most medieval fantasy RPG", this has stopped being the case a while back.

IMO, the fandom should react to this early on, so that CGI has time to change their course before they do something they cannot undo.
