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: Lurtch;1090404Here is what I don't get: it isn't the second wave of RPG design. Depending on how we want to break down the RPG design waves, it's wave 4-6.

They think there's more than two genders.

I doubt math is their strong suit.

Quote from: Shasarak;1090373I can not see a drawback to having all of the toxic Sword Lords all writing under the same label.

Problem is they wont be satisfied with being in their own little playground for long and will start infesting other games again. Probably this time preaching the virtues of their virtue signal game. Or covert infiltrating and corrupting from within.

But these nuts NEVER stay off in their own little realm for long.

Pretty much. These things are viruses, and viruses always spread.

Storygamers. Went off to create their own little safe space free of the evil DM! Aaaand within a month, if even that, they were right back at it against regular RPGs.

And the over reaction was to label every game with even slightly narrative DNA a storygame and act like it's got cooties.

Quote from: Dan Davenport;1090477Just a reminder to keep the discussion focused on gaming and not on general politics. Thanks!

I would like to thank all the mods for the great work they do under such stressful conditions. Please don't ban me.
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.

My only issue with SWORD DREAM is that the name is fucking stupid.

Beyond that, I don't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock about it. It does not and will not affect me in any way.
Like everyone else, I have a blog

I heard about this on RPGPub where they were clearly dancing around something like frightened children.

Seeing what this idiocy actually is about doesn't surprise me. I assume its the same fucknut brigade that shat itself on Google+ regarding the OSR logo.

Somebody should let the clowns know that swords are penises, and thus Symbols of Patriarchy and Oppression!!!!

The OSR will continue chugging along just fine.

One of them already did and called them rapists if I understood Pundit right.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Fortunately, I never wear pants when reading this forum. Otherwise, I would have pissed my pants laughing hysterically at that!!

I love, love, love the idea of Woke vs. Woke battling for Super Woke Supreme!

That and it allmost sounds like they are trying to sound similar to Sword World. The RPG that grew out of the original BX D&D Lodoss sessions and became its own thing.

I'd say the Chicken Littles obsessing over Sword Dream seem to be the frightened children in this scenario.

SWORDDREAM is a term that Luka Rejec of WizardThiefFighter Studio came up with as a joke. Speaking as mod at the Pub, I'm not sure what there is to be afraid of.
