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.

They've locked a thread about how to forge metal underwater as it's (apparently) led to a discussion on genocide of sahuagin.

Have the merfolk reported the thread?? SAHUAGIN ARE A MADE-UP CREATURE, FFS!!!!

Seriously, are they all fucking mad over there??
The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

To even know about this means that you are still at TBP. My question at this point is, are YOU mad?  ;D

Clearly there's an element of instability!  ;D

Now, now, we have a whole thread (several pages thick) about TBP madness in Pundit's forum.

It's like watching a slow mo train wreck.

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.

It's like watching a boat sink or a train wreck.  Just pop some popcorn and enjoy the show.

If anyone cares, then I got a thread in the design forum where I wanted to discuss how a civilization would develop fire on a planet with a chlorinated atmosphere. (The answer: they don't, they learn how to summon demons instead.)

Off topic but they might hit on something like heating coils powered by electricity.

Sounds about right.
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.

Made-up genocides by mythical creatures are very real to these oxygen thieves.

They are stunning and brave to take such a stance.

I would suspect generous reliance on the welfare state and parental basements.

 :) I know multi-vehicle pileups are irresistible attention grabbers, but maybe it might be best not to give in to forum morbid curiosity.

Talk about gaming that interests you. Stop defining yourself predominantly through opposition of others. By having more fun you win by... having more fun and sharing that with others who are having similar fun!  ;D

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

I know, but there's something ghoulishly fun about watching!

I don't talk about gaming there any more (not that I ever did much), but a couple of friends and I have a drinking game - take a drink every time in a gaming-related thread that someone states the game is racist/sexist/colonialist. Quick way to get hammered as the virtue-signallers like to get in early! The average now seems to be post #3.
