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.

This current wave started in 2010. The mess of the 90s wave had mostly died down, but you could see the tentative beginnings as early as 09.

In RPGs it was RPG.Net and storygamers pushing here and there, in board gaming it was BGG mostly and even still now.

By about 2015 it was in full swing and gaining momentum. You could see the beginnings of it in D&D with the little entries in 5e. And that has increased gradually to its current state.

Outside RPGs its been about the same, this increasing level of control the woke have over every form of media.

And so far it is showing little likelyhood of a moments respite before the 2030 wave begins.

5 fucking years and we will be in some likely even worse lunatic spree.

They were designed as broad settings with lots of different ethnicities, not just European. But until 3rd edition, non-white characters weren't featured in the core rulebooks.


  Not quite. There's a black magic-user in the 1991 Rules Cyclopedia, p. 20.


More than just that. Black guy right there in the contents pages,asian pg6, and 28, the one you noted pg20, another asian pg30,  Theres some obviously Mediterranean ones scattered about too.
