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: Aglondir;1083912Interesting... But the thing I don't get is that at 1:50:15 he says "this has been going on a much longer time..."
Isn't Stacy's problem with SJ Games a recent development? The earliest tweet I can see is on 13 April. That's 6 days ago.
I can find a tweet by Stacy going back to April 2nd attacking SJG. This has been brewing for almost 3 weeks now I'd say.

So... I just did what common sense seemed to dictate, and went over to RPGNet. And asked what was the matter. And got myself an almost instant temp-ban.

For asking whether someone could sum up a 25-page thread in a reasonable fashion. After all, it's "only" about going after some of the leading companies in our business in a serious way.

That's... Remarkably stupid behavior if you are seriously in the game of gaining allies.

Hmph. Like I'm now positively predisposed to listen to any of that drama again.

One of the first rules to this game that I learned is that, if you say "you might want to go about this differently if you don't want to alienate potential allies", then that's "tone policing", which is, of course, a high crime.

Please, don't give TBP more traffic. :( They are like Camelot, a silly place. :)

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.

Jesus, what a vile fucking human being.
I note on another of her posts that she wants to be a "they/them" rather than a "her", but still insists on being called a woman. What the fuck, over?

Question: Is this Stacy person the same person as "DST" at RPGNet? I don't really know who's who, but looking at the person who started the SJG thread appears to have a habit of only ever posting in highly politically charged threads.

Well. I suppose that means I am now an Official Enemy of Love and Gaming, and since I freelanced for WotC nearly twenty years ago, they need to formally disavow me if they don't want to be the next target. :)

I'm way ahead of the curve.  I've been boycotting SJG for years over their blatant abuse of Gurps and the fact that Munchkin is a shit game.  I also refuse to even think of buying TFT until they put it all into one book at a reasonable price.

Then they wonder why they keep having a bad name in the rpg industry. Yet we are the bad guys when it comes to forums in the rpg industry.

Agreed and seconded. It's not just her though I have a few Facebook friends I'm debating dropping as it's all about "Nortre Dame burned but worse in the world" style posts. It's so fucking annoying imo.

I haven't boycotted them - I just ran out of things to buy. I actually bought physical copies of Gurps material, and then they decided it wasn't in their financial best interests to keep publishing printed books. I get why, but it effectively ended my Gurps-related purchases. I'm not really in the market for TFT and related material right now. Other priorities and all that.

I cut all my "woke" friends out of my life years ago. I just got so tired of being exposed to so much venom non-stop, all the time. Best decision I ever made. Not associating with them has made me a far less angry person overall.
