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 Woke morons are going after Steve Jackson Games

Quote from: bat;1086551SHARK! NO! Don't encourage them! We are full! FULL! No more room in Idaho! Move along! We are all hillbillies with guns! Nope, sorry, no room in the barn!

Greetings!

Yes, I'm sorry. Quite right. We are a terrible place to live. Full of knuckle-dragging, deeply religious hillbillies...with lots of guns!:D We live in a blasted desert wasteland!

Idaho sounds nice. I enjoyed it the few times I stayed with people there; I nearly moved there once, about 15 years ago. I'm curious what the gaming scene is like there.

California's been exporting people throughout the West for generations. Yes, even Idaho. Don't worry, we will speculate your private Idaho into luxury eco-friendly tiny house, complete with she-shed and outdoor living room sprawl soon enough for all the little yappy dogs and indoor cats. :)

That said, good for Frog God Games for pushing back. I would expect SJG to do the same. Whisper campaigns don't seem like the thing for which they'll roll over.

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.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1086482Huh?

Was glancing at the locations of customers and noted one was in India. Which goes to show what little impact RPG.net's censoring had when your game ended up bought round the world.

Hideous! I run games in bars and a deli and get paid for it. It is terrible here!

So, what you're saying is; that socially, morally, and in general quality of life; it is better than California by a couple of orders of magnitude?

Yes, it's full of church-going fanatics. MAGA hats are everywhere! Overall-wearing, chain-smoking Ogres that keep guns in their trucks, or even carry them concealed! The Dark Lord that rules the masses of brute hillbillies here recently signed into law and the constitution that allows every law-abiding citizen to carry weapons openly, or concealed, as they so choose. No extra supervision or bureaucratic hoops to jump through and heavily restrict gun ownership to just the military and police! Armed militia's everywhere, and the local sheriff merely looks on at all the heavily armed ogre hillbillies, and smiles. "That's right, boys! Arm up! Stay strong!" It's such an violence-loving, patriarchal society!:D Lots of ogre hillbillies here fervently believe in carrying a gun in one hand, and the Bible in the other!

It is EXACTLY how SHARK just described it. I'm sure he was trying to lure in a few innocent lambs. Bad, SHARK, bad!

Truly a barren, monster-filled hellscape.

In any case, I've packed up my RPGs and I'm ready to go...

Quote from: SHARK;1086543Idaho is very nice. Lots of conservative people here, and liberals are a definite minority. Guns are popular here, and the government and law enforcement supports law-abiding citizens being armed to the teeth, with whatever guns they want.  Traffic is light, jobs are plentiful, and land is everywhere, and reasonable in price.

Let me share a bit of hypocrisy though. Last year I attended a party in which many retired tech executives were present. They are all extremely liberal and were also previously residents of Oregon, Washington and California. Guess where they moved once they retired? They were all very proud of the 'blue dot' they live in, in Idaho.
