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.

  That I don't doubt. You do have a tendency to conflate everything you like or dislike, though, which some people can find confusing or offputting.

Hi new people!

I stopped posting at TBP a few years ago, I think. Exactly the day they put up the rainbow flag to celebrate The U.S. legalization of gay marriage. Not for the reason that I would be against gay marriage, but for the reason I don't want to think politics when wanting to talk about elfgames. That is the same reason I don't post here often...

Anyway, I reactivated my account to the TBP just for the purposes of burning it! All ideas and farewell comments are welcome for my burn post!

Flame away!!! :D:D:D

Opaopajr

Howdy new members! :)

I left TBP shortly after I joined because I found no 'there' there.

It was a time in rpg.net when:
a) Proselytizers preached FATE worked for all your gaming needs... all the time,
b) Storygames were having their last ascendant hurrah in trying to supplant rpgs as The Finally-Realized, Only True RPGs,
c) and the Sun Shone Forth from D&D 4e's Ass, finally bringing back the Almighty Balance to the unenlightened unwashed.

I don't miss it. :) Welcome to here instead.

Also, you will have friends here -- being neither Ctrl-Left or Alt-Right -- merely want to spread the eschatological gospel (end-of-the-world good news!) of the Del-All. :) Come, have a flower. Let's dance amidst entropy's glory! :D

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

I'm new here too. The SJWs remind me so much of racists and how they feel just being what they are (or claim to be) makes them nobles, while everyone not like them are some sort of crisis to be dealt with. But, the sum total of all their farnarkling = Sad Comas & group hugs --- because the majority of the hobby either doesn't know they exist, or, doesn't care.

This site is cool in that I can post as I enjoy and not worry about getting bloodied by some Edgelord-mod-Will Wheaton-wannabe moderator. The opinions and freedom of expression here is refreshing. Pundit, please don't sell this site to Skotos aka Skynet and PLEASE, let SJWs post freely here. I like cutting the tires on their bicycles ;)

Greetings!

Welcome to the forums here, sir! Yes, SJW's and whatever flavour of Liberals are welcome here, too. However, because the SJW's do not have a cadre of moderators supporting them, normal people are entirely free to express themselves here, including views that don't agree with SJW's. There's more than a few conservatives here that are quite willing to jump on SJW's like a fucking gladiator arena. Especially so against the really frothing-at-the-mouth SJW's. They tend to get destroyed here pretty brutally. More polite and respectful *liberals* tend to be just fine. This is a good place to be a member of.:D

There is a world of difference between a liberal and a SJW.

Liberals can communicate with others --- SJWs act like everybody else is speaking Orc. Or, whatever language they choose beyond translation.

Outstanding, Marine! Indeed, there are some differences between Liberals and SJW's, like you mentioned. Like that old philosophy thing, All SJW's are Liberal, but not all Liberals are SJW's. Something like that.:D

Of course we can talk! LOL. I sent you a PM, my friend.

I need you guys to play fair here.

I'm seeing an anti-Muslim group, as if Islam wasn't the very best thing for America (aren't we revolutionaries?)

Of all the fighters and peoples I've faced, I respect most the Muslims --- the largest organized religion on Earth. They take their shit personal. Unlike the Christians who take it serious on Sunday.

What if --- the truth was different from what you thought? What if 'winning' required sacrificing what was important to you? Could you? Could you change in order to make the world a better place?

If you can't, you're useless as SJWs. They refuse change while speaking as though change is the answer:

If I say, I was born a man, but I am now a woman, and I need the world to embrace my female nature, because that embrace will improve the world, THAT CHANGE NEEDS TO IMPROVE THE WORLD.

If it DOESN'T, then that change is only satisfying for the person. The world remains as it is and the promise of global transformation is BS.

This is the SJW position: MY change is so powerful it changes the world, but it only changes the subject's social circle. They get 'cred' and newness. But who does that improve the game? Do they even understand how deep the game is? Can SJW poilitica improve TTRPGs, or is this just IMAX?

I ask any SJW: "WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF SOCIAL JUSTICE? HOW DOES IT IMPROVE THE WORLD VIA TTRPGS? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE TTRPGS BETTER? POST THE RESULTS OF YOUR EFFECT."
TTRPGs are just games. Friends are forever.
