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.

The least woke major RPG publishers

Quote from: Aglondir;1065196Sine 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.
Oh, there have been accusations of sexism (Stars Without Number) and racism (Spears of the Dawn, Red Tide). Luckily it's only been small-time stuff and the mobs never formed, but there were still people that got upset about stuff he wrote. I'm really looking forward to Wolves of God and dearly hoping no one gets upset about that one when it comes out in a year or two.

It has been reported by Roboject that Marc has finished with the T5 errata and that people in the committee are reviewing the document now.  His second novel is close to finished as well.  So, a little new stuff if slowly.

Quote from: Aglondir;1065193In 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.

That is actually a good thing. Reprinting old material.

Quote from: Lurtch;1065194We should close this thread. Delete it if possible. Dont want to give Ettin a hit list.

(a) I don't think it's good to be living in fear.
(b) They don't need a list; they work off triggering incidents, which may come from committed SJW publishers like Evil Hat.

I stay away from The Design Mechanism as well.

For the life of me I do not understand Marc Miller. Instead of publishing and re-publishing a version of Traveller that no one wants, he could have spent the last 20 years publishing new stuff for CT.

It's like if Gary Gygax had re-gained the rights to D&D, but kept making stuff for Cyborg Commandos.

Maybe, but I and a few others still want it.  Personally CT is a fundamentally broken, scattered mess and thus no better than T5.

I'm genuinely reluctant to name the publishers who aren't converts to the new faith. I don't want to bring the inquisitors down on them.

Politically I lean libertarian. My games are apolitical. Although ACKS has been criticized as being unwoke because it uses the word "king" in the title.

What about Modiphus?

Star Trek has always been sort of mildly Left (by now it probably looks moderate) but some of the other titles don't seem very SJW: Conan, Coriolis, Achtung Cthulhu, Mutant Year Zero, Space 1889, Mindjammer (?)

They are very left liberal and comply with SJW diktats. But I have not seen SJW attacks originate from them.

Mindjammer is played by a lot of latent SJWs. They're the same crowd that idolize Iain Banks and Kim Stanley Robinson.
