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.

So as of 6:30pm Eastern, Sweet Baby Inc. web site isn't able to be connected.  Sweet Baby inc was listed as working with D&D in the past and they offer pro-racist services that Hasbro just could not get enough of.  It's also possible they are either rebranding (marxist black power inc?) or maybe they had to shut down?  Heck maybe they can't pay the hosting fees.

They have all gone to work at Weird Baby or Baby Ghost or Baby Baby Baby or Weird Ghost Baby or one of the many other functionally identical parasitic consulting firms out there.  Weird Black Girls Gamer Baby.

Pro-racist services. Yup. That about sums it up.

I need to get into this "Sensitivity Reader" grift

Look what guys like Ibram X Kendi did: produced a bunch of non-peer-reviewed, shoddy, nonsense "scholarship" and books, made a bunch of crazy statements, and ended up making millions from gullible universities.

I can do that!

send me the new PHB, I will find all kinds of things insensitive about it, and charge WOTC $100 per hour!
