Remember, don't give money to people who despise you! Buy OSR!

Liz Danforth has pretty solid OSR cred in my book... as does Grubman and Steve Jackson.
Not that the OSR has any particular political stance...

There is nobody on that list who I planned on supporting, so I will happily continue not to support them.

Quote from: https://www.october-surprise.com/

Steve Jackson, game designer and founder at Steve Jackson Games (Munchkin, GURPS, The Fantasy Trip, Ogre, Car Wars, Zombie Dice, Illuminati)

Say it ain't so Steve!

I was always going to vote gold, but if I was the wishy washy sort who'd vote out of spite, this would have convinced me to go red. The inclusion of GMS on the list is just icing on the cake.

My biggest gripe is that Skarka didn't put Far West on his list of accomplishments.

That would certainly be the first time anyone considered it an accomplishment.

A bit more seriously though, look at who isn't there (or at least I didn't find):

• No Monte Cook (just apparently everybody who works for him)
• No Matt Mercer
• No Matt Colville

Cool review rpgpundit, thanks for bringing darkwood to my attention. I might grab a copy!

I'm surprised Mentzer's not on there, given his backing of the Democratic convention earlier this year.

Mentzer was Cancelled.

Yeah. I should note that a future RPGPundit Presents (already written before I got this book) is going to be about the Sherwood forest, but luckily most of the material is very different from what's in Darkwood.

I noticed that as well.

A convenient personal boycott list.

Sort of.  It's got a lot of nobody's mixed in that produce things that would never make my it onto my radar even on the barest scrap of merit anyway.  A lot of trouble to wade through it to find the people that I might consider before boycotting.  Maybe I'll copy it and put it into an Excel spreadsheet?   

I disagree this is a boycott list. Or I fail to see the point.

First, aside from a wooden checker's set carved by Hitler himself, I'll play what I like regardless of the politics of the person who created it. I don't want to have to research game designer politics and personal life to vet a game. I don't want to have to drop a good game because the designer changed worldviews. I couldn't care less. Besides, I've seen several cases of people elsewhere posting good things about Lion and Dragon or whatever and then redacting everything once the woke brigade tells them about all Pundit's evils. It's just fucking silly.

Second, "living well is the best revenge." If some deplorables enjoy a SJW's game, I can't imagine anything that would get stuck in the SJW craw worse that that. We should be playing fucking Sword Dream and live streaming it.

Saving me money as I just cancelled a kickstarter project I was supporting by one of the members of that list.  Boycott or not, that is your choice. I just dislike the tone of this Surprise website's message. And I doubt that any of them are authorities on what is fact or fiction. They are running with what they want to think is true and standing behind it. That is their choice, just as mine is to support them or not.

I truly do not care who a game designer votes for, for U.S. President.

Particularly not on a message board run by a game designed who is from Canada and who moved to Uruguay and who does not even vote in US Presidential elections.

Boomer Joe Biden Calls Game Devs 'Little Creeps'

I just have to point out real quick that this one is total BS...

Biden is too old to be a baby boomer. He was born in 1942, while the baby boomers didn't start until 1946. Gosh!
