SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Since PF is open gaming content.... let's create SJWfinder the RPG!!!

Quote from: Thornhammer;1087330Who rules the Magical Queendom of Equalitia?

   No one. It's a consensual, magical hivemind that strives to incorporate everyone, celebrating all forms of biological and sexual diversity while at the same time adapting them to conform to the perfect ideals of the cooperative ...

   (Yes, I do think that the Borg Collective is a natural endpoint of social-progressive thought. :) )

... anyone who doesn't thing differently. It embraces "diversity" so long as it's the kind of diversity the hivemind approves of. Anyone who exhibits traits outside these acceptable norms are banished.
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.

Quote from: myleftnut;1086968You're right.  They are there but they're easy to avoid.  I can't decide which of the three has the rudest staff or doucheest customers.  Hit up Portland Game Store or Red Castle.  As for Powell's, no one interacts with me when I'm there. Probably because I'm Hispanic and my jeans aren't tight enough. :D

Easy to avoid ... unless you happen to want to drive downtown (blocked by antifa, allowed by police), Or visit the best coffee shop in town (closed by SJWs), or walk on the sidewalk by a certain "quaint pub with a relaxed vibe" without getting pepper sprayed, or work at a certain downtown tech company without being required to wear rainbow-colored preferred-pronoun stickers on your lapel (there are a score to chose from!). Or unless, perhaps, one isn't Hispanic enough.
Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."

So would the surface elves be the new drow for being white and oppressing the black elves who live in the underdark?

Well, duh.  And since they're PF elves, and not D&D elves, they don't have the virtuous gender-fluid God(dess) that D&D elves have, which makes them doubly (trebly?) horrible and evil.

   Oh, so they're just Dragonlance/Forgotten Realms elves? ;) (Seriously, deconstructionist 'oppressive racist practically-Evil-but-declared-Good elves' are practically a D&D trope by now.)

We need race analogs of all fantasy races to be placed into the ethnically different cultures of all cultural analogs.

So Hispanic Vikings, Asian Romans, African Samurai.

We'll justify them by putting up pictures of Chinese people descended from a Roman soldier and a picture of Antonio Banderas (a Spanish man acting in the role of an Iranian turned Viking!) and Afro-Samurai for the African Samurai. And make them all elven/dwarven/halfling as you see fit. Gender fluidity is obvious. Unless you're doing Amazons. They can only be female or Trans-female.

No outlier is too small to be conflated to being normal!

nope

The more I think on it, the more I suspect we might not want classes at all.

Rather, each character sheet has a long multicolored band along the margin, with each color indicating a different sphere of utility. This would be called the "class spectrum," and the players could slide their indicator token to any area of the spectrum at any time as they wish/feel/identify with in the moment.

Don't forget Slavic Bandidos during the Mexican Revolution.

For Classes you have your Oppression Stack Classes. You cannot choose your own class, rather you build it based on degrees of Oppression points you accrue as a derived Stat via the Intersectional Checkpoint Lifepath chart. So by making choices on your lifepath the Final Authority of the GM tells you what you have to be.

Only THEN can you make a choice as to whether to play that class or not. Then the other PC's get to judge you, and if they don't like your choice they berate you and ostracize you until you play what they demand you play.

C'mon. Get with the pogrom.

Ah, yes you're right, I'd completely left out the judgement and peer pressure aspects! To be fair, I've always been terrible at game balance... :p

As far as the Lifepath chart, I found someone's old homebrew rules we might be able to start building from:
