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.

Thanks for shout guys.  I don't mind things turning political especially with the way things are today. If site allows discussion like that it should be an exchange of ideas not a bunch of people echoing thoughts put in their heads by their overlords. I would hope I not be banned for disagreeing with a mod.  Political discussion seems to be just people blowing each other these days.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1084808Here's the real deal about this place.

1) RPGPundit's personal forum is a wondrous political cesspool. Plenty of vomit from all political corners. If you want to avoid most politics and stick to gaming, ignore that forum.

2) Unfortunately, everything is political now so politics boils over into the main forum gaming threads IF the topic is something like the Bill Webb lawsuit or yet another RPG company engaging in activism. If you want to avoid politics and stick to gaming, ignore those threads.

3) If you're in a gaming thread that's just about gaming and one of us fucknuts starts crapping out our politics, call it out. Feel free to say "Yo fucknuts, stick to the OP and save the politics for Pundy's forum."

4) Too many of us enjoy threads that wander all over the damn place. I'm utterly guilty of this. If you start a thread about "Cool Shit Fighters Can Do" and we start babbling about cleric vs. mage spells, call that out too and refocus the thread OR have a great time wandering down our various weirdo paths.

Okay somebody sticky this.

Quote from: myleftnut;1084801So I'm hoping I can find a place to read and post about games where people have common sense. I don't know much about this forum other than from critics and registered without really reading a lot of the content. So I have a question.  Is this just a "right wing" equivalent to rpg.net or are all options welcome?

Depends on who you ask. Pundit allows a lot of discussion that he doesn't necessarily agree with. With the caveat that it's his site, and can shut down stuff in his forum simply for boring him.
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.

Quote from: myleftnut;1084819Not sure if you're being sarcastic but he's a game designer whose work I like, who got drunk at con and offered a woman a cigarette and had his room number on his sleeve or something.  

For the non-smokers who may be thinking... wat?
I myself and quite a few smokers I know of fidget with our smokes. There's a layer of cellophane wrap that's left on the pack after you open it. It's nearly the right shape to put things in, like a credit card, hotel room card, I'd sometimes stick a bit of change in there. One things smoker's rarely forget is their smokes. When I heard that bit, I could totally relate, and I think it lends a bit of vermisilitude to the story.

I wasn't. Thanks for the explanation.

There are a few crazies mixed in - and when politics come up the wind blows a bit to the right - but it's nice that everyone says their piece.

Quote from: myleftnut;1084801So I'm new here after reading but rarely posting on rpg.net for years. This Bill Webb thing is the last straw.  I'm seeing people banned for posting "guyz...do you think maybe kinda sorta ruining a persons life over this is going too far?...maybe...sorta...a litttle?"  There are calls to ruin unrelated companies over this shit. I agree there should be consequences for sexual misconduct but the posts I'm reading are bullshit. I consider myself a "liberal" or whatever the fuck that means but I appreciate diversity of thought and thinking for yourself.

Greetings man. I just quit posting before I got banned. For now. I dunno, might have been banned for something I posted somewhere else. Haven't bothered checking.

As everyone else has said, welcome aboard the crazy train. Don't get the wrong idea about this place, though. Some of the posters here are actually quite nice and polite. Occasionally. If they've taken their meds that day.

I'm a little bit like you. I read rpg.net for years, posting occasionally when something would catch my eye. I finally gave up on the site several years ago when it just got too extreme. I still check it out occasionally because it does have some informative threads, but I know better than to post there given how even the most innocuous comment can be taken out of context. At least here, most of the people I've seen banned (a mere fraction of the number perma-banned at TBP) were actively begging for it.

I don't post often, but I read the fora here and have been part of the RPG community for a long time. My experience with this site has been more positive than any other moderated forum.

For example, I am an old school style game master who sits on the conservative side of libertarianism (TANSTAAFL.) This site allows me to express that and also allows me to exercise free speech and say things like:

Welcome aboard and I'm glad you came to talk about games with us, you asshole.
