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: danskmacabre;1084999Ironically, I think I found this forum via a thread on rpg.net that was slagging off this site.  lol!

Yeah for me it was about how we don't talk about RPGPundit and I thought, "I don't know who that is, but Google is my friend, so...". And, for better or worse, this is now where I like to mostly lurk and occasionally actually engage in the discussion.
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.

There appears to be a purge going on for some reason or another. Maybe the new mods are trying to make quota like cops and speeding tickets?

I've never quite understood what hunting trophy case of a forum is for (once you've been banned you can't log into it or even to see the message that says when you were banned. :confused:) If you're locked out of thread you can't post in it again so telling making a big public ado about it is just another form of public shaming I guess.

Lol. I think what happened for me was, there was this thread there pointing out how terrible this place is with a link to a thread here as damning evidence.
So I followed that and the rest is history.

  It wasn't private until just a few months ago; it was purportedly for 'transparency', but nowadays, who knows?

I agree that it is humor of the highest level and it got a chuckle out of me. But just think of the state of things when simple truth is hilarious.

Ya the hard on parts of the community have for RPGpundit is the only reason I knew about this place.  I personally will still be using the site for trades.  I hope this site and rpgpub (which I was just told about) will meet my game discussion needs.

Good riddance too as he was getting steadily more irrational.

Rpgpub is fairly inoffensive (in a general sense, I'm not using the SJW definition), that's about all I can say for it. It could use a little spark.

Oh, Thank you. I didn't interact much with the mods.

Oh, so either: Inertia, they're too lazy to change it, ineptitude, they don't know how to change it or Ego, they like it just fine as a spot where they can display their "Kills" as examples to the others.

Or some combination of those.

Welcome new people! Also a social liberal who detests censorship, stalinism and being told what to do. TheRPGSite is free speech and free gamers hanging out like regular people shoot the shit around a gaming table. It's about as fucking real as real can get.

Quote from: GameDaddy;1084959No, they didn't. To say so is only by not paying attention clearly to what all of the major political parties are actually doing. It is disingenuous statement, and trolling too boot. good luck with that.


We are a divided country.  Politics is a high stakes business sector.  Like it or not, to the winning party go the spoils.  Both parties run their own rackets.  And that is the very stuff that shouldn't be part of RPGs, unless your RPG is openly about politics.  It pisses me off to see a bunch of out of place propaganda in my new $35-$50 RPG book.
I need you to roll a perception check.....

so, what was the image?

it has been purged for wrongthink apparently.

I have this ongoing fantasy where I win the lottery, like big time, and I buy rpg.net and either shut the place down or give it to Pundit

(also don't forget the PTB at TBP also check your social media accounts to make sure you don't express any bad thinking off the site. but they aren't an echo chamber or a bunch of evil psychos.)
