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.

Waterdeep and all D&D Settings Must Be Just Like 2018 Seattle OR ELSE!

Quote from: Gagarth;1056611The rot is now spreading to Glorantha/Runequest. A lot of Glorantha cultures have had multiple genders and sexes before all the this SJW  fascism so they cannot target that so they are going after the in game myths so they are safe for women.

Do you have a link to the thread?

QuoteThat's great if we're all Bronze Age people just living our lives. But we're not. We're 21st century people playing a game. The kind of stories we choose to tell when we game have impacts on us and how we think about our lives and our world. Telling misogynistic stories encourages misogyny.

That quote sums up everything that's wrong with the SJW dogma in RPGs. History shows us people who had different values from us. Therefore, history can make people uncomfortable. Therefore, if you recount history you're spreading hatred. Therefore, history should be suppressed.

I guess all the women who study history, who are historians, who write historical fiction, have been captured by the patriarchy and suffer from PTSD from their exposure to people with different values. Barbara Tuchman, Mary Beard, Mary Renault, Rosemary Sutcliff, Colleen McCullough, Sharon Kay Penman - all spreading misogyny.

How can anyone who isn't a complete dimwit go along with this nonsense?

WTF?

I thought this was the kind of intolerant shit we were supposed to be better than?

Nah. This is Mos Eisley, keep your blaster handy. "Intolerant shit" is flung regularly, but that's the point. Both Gargath and Mike the Mage are welcome to go mega monkey poo flinging at each other (and everyone else) without being banned for badwrongthink. It's a free speech site, not a nice speech site, and that means semi-regular shit tennis.

And Price of Freedom was weak. Classic Traveller was WAY better to use for Red Dawn RPGing. We converted Twilight 2000 to Classic Traveller too.

I find real life Greek myths pretty problematic as well. Someone should get to work rewriting those.

SJWs despise myth and archetype. Because, you know, they're part of human reality. And human reality is deeply offensive to their fantasies.

You joke, but I got my first ban on RPGnet for defending my use of the Greek pantheon in a fantasy world. Apparently, since I can make a pantheon anything I like in a fantasy world, using the patriarchal Greek pantheon is a deliberate choice to be exclusionary. And as a long-time members of the site I surely knew that it was trying to be safe space for female gamers, my persistence in defending the Greek pantheon was hostile. 3-day ban. This was about 8 years ago.

I'm guessing you'd get an instant permaban just for setting your game in Medieval Europe these days due to all the patriarchy and Christian religious beliefs you'd be "championing" by not having gender-fluid neo-pagan Africans ruling over all the kingdoms of Medieval Europe... or something.

  As I said upthread, when Paladin hits shelves, I expect the Usual Suspects at TBP to be quite disapproving.

GS is not much more than a figure head in the new version of Chaosium. Also based on what I have just read on the Runequest facebook group the Orlanth cult  has been re-written from a men only cult with a side door for women to a cult for everyone and a women only safe space. Given that and the recent  version fof Masks I would say Chaosium packed with SJWs,  I would expect myth rewrites in the not too distant future.

You need to ha e a reread. The weird rewrite had all of two positive comments and was otherwise ignored.
