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.

Quote from: fearsomepirate;1036429Conservatives would have to make entertainment that isn't garbage, since the main mistake they make is to make preachy conservative content instead of good content. But as far as RPGs go, you could always play ACKS if WotC gets too heavy-handed with its messaging.

  Actually, in the RPG field, it's pretty easy to find tolerant, neutral or even outright conservative creators once you break out of the Seattle juggernauts' orbit.

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.

You can't tell by his games? He's obviously a fascist imperialist.

Quote from: FeloniousMonk;1036249If you cannot discern between charity and money-grubbing, insipid marketing (which you are doing by featuring your rpg in every video), you must indeed be a bigger fool than we realized.

You are virtue signaling your own product to a specific market: towards people who bristle at anything perceived as SJW. The irony is palpable.

So... you didn't get my point at the end of the video?

Quote from: Patrick;1036273I think this is a "miss" on your part, Pundit.  If LGBT people want a t-shirt to show their "D&D Pride", more power to them.  Can't see how this affects anything at all.

Did you even watch the video?

Oh, yeah. You did!

He wasn't actually leaving. He was just shilling for his clone site, which he had to stop doing in order to come back here to call me a grubby marketer for my video.

Quote from: Christopher Brady;1036411Doesn't make his assessment wrong.

It makes it ridiculously hypocritical.

In this thread, we can say that Monk, WoTC and I myself were all shilling something. The difference between them and me is that I admit I'm selling my product. WoTC and monk have in common that they're trying to pretend that their shilling has a moral high ground.

That was the point of the end of my video.
