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.

Quote from: Kiero;1084904At the risk of bringing politics into a thread in the gaming forum, the (third wave) feminists don't have a point. They are utterly irrelevant, because the second wave succeeded: on most of the measures that matter, men and women are functionally equal in most developed world democracies. Thus all their Marxist-inspired agitation is designed not to make the sexes equal, but instead to subjugate men and masculinity.

Yeah, I agree with you.

Quote from: sureshot;1084908Good for Ulari. That is one hell of a  way to make an exit and drop the mic imo.

Agreed and seconded on everything he said. Yet you will see some disingenuous troll here claim that this place is somehow the same if not significant worse than rpg.net.

Greetings!

Indeed, my friend. What's with the stuffed-animal clutching Happy Barneys trying to smugly compare this forum with RPG.Net? There's no comparison to be made. The Big Purple is full of SJW freaks that embrace tyranny. This forum here has a variety of members, and the ethos here embraces freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and creativity. The two sites are as different as night and fucking day!:D

This place is not perfect by any means and neither am I and many other posters. Their is a difference and to pretend otherwise is being blind on purpose imo.

Feminism has always had this issue. Charles Fourier, the man who invented feminism was a Marxist. From The Declaration of Sentiments, through The Red Stocking Manifest, to today's third or fourth wave, It's always had a core of viewing relations between the sexes as an oppressor/oppressed dynamic. Not everyone bought into that part, but it's still been a thread running through feminism from the beginning.
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.

It's a low hanging fruit argument, for when the poster has run out of insightful comments. They may as well call us "poopy heads", for all I care.

QuoteTraveller is most welcome here, but have you heard of Cepheus Engine by any chance?

Yeah I have. Not played it, but it's a Traveller retroclone, right? Original Traveller and MongTrav meet all my group's needs, but there's always merit in something new, so I may check it out.

I mean, in a world where Camille Paglia is considered alt-right, you know you've gone completely over the edge from reason and into extremism. And, yes, I've seen Camille Paglia be called a "right winger" on TBP. It's fucking insane. My best guess is she committed the "crime" of having reasoned discourse with Jordon Peterson once.

Back to gaming. OP, any preference for Traveller edition? Not that it matters, but CT happens to be my favorite game (I like both Mongoose editions too though) and I think we could do with more Traveller / Cepheus Engine love around here. Or anywhere.
The more clichéd my group plays their characters, the better. I don't want Deep Drama™ and Real Acting™ in the precious few hours away from my family and job. I want cheap thrills, constant action, involved-but-not-super-complex plots, and cheesy but lovable characters.

Thankyou, my friend! I agree. It seems smarmy and disingenious to me, as well. If this is *such a terrible place* that is the equivalent to TBP, why are they soiling themselves by wading into the right-wing swamp here?:D Maybe it suggests a deep need on their part for masochism and self-degradation? LOL! Their tone always makes me think they are so smug and self-righteous, it's like, whoa, dude? I just love how they bravely lower themselves to walk amongst us here. It's like their "slumming" it here, away from perfumed salons of deep academic polish and such high social refinement! It's such an evil, savage place here!:D

Quote from: myleftnut;1084801Is this just a "right wing" equivalent to rpg.net or are all options welcome?

All are welcome. I am as liberal as they come, for example.

I just ignore the more extreme views, if they come up.

Huh, well, someone had to say it I suppose and Ulari is someone.  I'm not sure where the line is between group and personal attacks is.  I feel like the British guy on the Tangency food thread who, after reading a description of biscuits and gravy declared, "I'm not even sure I know what sausage, biscuits, and gravy are anymore."
