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.

I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

Still, I think Palladium is okay as a company if you're comparing them to something like Evil Hat. KS might be a maniac but he actually likes roleplaying games and gamers, he wants people to have fun. I think that's the whole point.

I know I've sometimes came across as harsh when it comes to Palladium and Kevin, but ultimately it comes from a place of love, and maybe a bit of envy, and I'll absolutely agree with this. Him and his company are one of the last of the old guard, spiritually. They're... I'll borrow a not-perfectly-fitting quote from the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley:

"But then we were all nobodies, which was perfect for us... because all the respectable, straight-arrow guys were busy doing what they always do, which is be respectable. Which meant the rest of us could run around acting like crazies...which is what we did best."

Kevin and Palladium are just big enough fish that they can't vanish like a fart on the wind, and they succeed purely because they put out shit people want to buy, instead of focus testing and trying to offend the minimal amount of people and checking all the diversity boxes and spending the annual budget of Nigeria on advertising and shit. He is what we all wanted to be, growing up, with our fantasies of being a game designer... He basically has free reign to do whatever the hell he feels like.

Although I like to think I would be less of a dick to my writers.
