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).

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.

The least woke major RPG publishers

My list is Steve Jackson, Palladium, and since Sean Patrick Fannon got run out of PEG, Pinnical.

Any other major publishers that haven't been stricken with the Seattle virus?

SJG has their own skeletons in the closet. Considering they value only profit due to their business model. All bets are off that SJG wont suddenly up and declare all their old books sexist, including Munchkin, Ogre, and Car Wars and start a mad dash to "fix" it all and "cash in" on the big money appeasing SJWs brings in. :rolleyes:

Oh and they were I believe making some tiny SJW "oh no! That was sexist and we had to fix it!" noise during the TFT reprint so you may have lost them allready.

I doubt Palladium ever will as they were allready pretty balanced. One of the main recurring NPCs of Rifts is a woman for example.

As for the rest. Who knows? This SJW disease can crop up without warning sometimes. One day they are fine. The next they are full tilt loons.

Hero System (although it's in a coma.)

Thought Hero was still chugging along slowly but surely? Or is this a more recent decline?

Speaking of. Only just recently realized that Justice Inc was based on the Hero System?

In the last few years, they haven't done much: Champions Complete (which was good) and Fantasy Hero Complete (not so much.) Tbe rest of their output has been reprinting thier back catalog from previous editions (there's a great deal right now on Bundle of Holding, if this interests you) and a couple of Kickstarters.

We should close this thread. Delete it if possible. Dont want to give Ettin a hit list.

Sine Nomine isn't a major publishing house, but both the quantity and quality seem like it. So far he's avoided the Eye of Sjauron.

PEG (Pinnacle) should be considered progressive.

They just don't use tolerance as a reason to hate/belittle people nor do they pretend that silly mundane human differences are somehow interesting in their actually interesting settings.

I feel like Sean ran himself out. He still does work for PEG.
