now it is time for them to go BROKE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boy, aren\u2019t the 2020\u2019s FUN!? Sarcasm\u2026
There\u2019s so much SHIT being pushed with a firehose it\u2019s hard to keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However the FUN now is that the makers of Dungeons and Dragons have announced tons of plans to pander to “Diversity” with their game to cater to screeching Social Justice Warriors.<\/a> Various problematic stuff like the (stupid) idea Orcs = Blacks and Drow = Blacks (stupider) – want to get out that file and file off the rough edges to make it nice and BLAND to ram down the biggest mouth out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and what if anyone dislikes the old school stuff that might not be “Politically Correct” by today’s flaky, crazy standards?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Welp, there\u2019s not like there\u2019s any TTRPG out there on par with Dungeons and Dragons. Not like there\u2019s Dungeon Crawl Classics<\/a>, Labyrinth Lord<\/a>, Lamentations of the Flame Princess<\/a> – Cha’alt<\/a> , or the cool Sci-Fi adult game \u201cAlpha Blue<\/a>\u201d\u2026 To name a few out of MANY\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And – really – do you have a \u201cMarketing Research\u201d person on staff who doesn\u2019t have a \u201cSocial Justice\u201d chip on his (or her, Hir, Sh\/he\u2026.gawdz) shoulder\u2026? Coz someone half worth their salt would have told you about \u201cOrcGate\u201d and how it FLOPPED. EVERYONE rammed the \u201cOrkz is Bwaks! Hallp us! Waaysist!\u201d cries down their throats and told them to go home to Mommy\u2026 The SJWs ran, not doubled down\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, I am for bending rules – IF you, your DM, your players WANT it – just don’t Force it as the rule…don’t pretend the past doesn’t exist…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coz this rant against censorship and pandering in games is not to preserve some of the kooky baggage from old games\u2026 Like even going PC are you going to remove the \u201cChinasaur\u201d based monsters – Rust Monster for instance\u2026 fearing someone from Hong Kong that made those mutant figures will sue? Like you guys did over a neat fantasy toy soldier game – \u201cDragonriders of the Styx\u201d and made them melt faces off Nagas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you want what – RAINBOW UNICORN SNOWFLAKES sent to RPG sessions as cheap therapy to play the game and somehow become players? These are people the stereotype is they have $100K debt for a \u201cGender Studies\u201d degrees – are toxic adult babies that proudly wear dubious \u201cMental disorders\u201d and no one in their sane mind would hire them. Even the worst stereotype of old \u201cGamer Geeks\u201d tended to be the best computer engineers, janitors, night clerks, truckers (and doctors, lawyers, artists, writers) out there\u2026 These SJW \u201cWoke\u201d snowflakes are a level of person somehow LOWER than the fragile pathetic character Tom Hanks played in that scare flick \u201cMazes and Monsters\u201d\u2026 Let\u2019s get to that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The scariest monsters are in your mind…” – one cool quote from a dumb sh-t LIE of a movie that got SO many D&D books burned. The Snowflake SJWs will make it look like a single match and “Fundies” want another witch to burn, someone to blame when a famous minister is gay or perverted or steals millions…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The movie was a stupid bit of hype propaganda – based largely on the “Steam Tunnels” thing again something near totally <> D&D – but the media kept repeating it “Zombie Lie” style (Bill Maher coined that term) again and again – each time the industry has been threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See? Lots of Baggage. Sure it\u2019s weird elves living underground are black (due to EVIL\u2026 Eeevilllll\u2026.) and people on a world that\u2019s been a desert for thousands of years are WHITE\u2026. (but have good tans except when Brom paints sexy chalk white ones\u2026) So what? It\u2019s not even racism its the \u201cVancian\u201d feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read this! You’ll think it’s a story collection based on someone’s “Dungeons and Dragons” adventures… But whoops! D&D is based on this hugely. IMO > Tolkien. As sue happy as they’ve been, VERY lucky Vance\/his kin were not as litigious.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


A \u201cD&D\u201d world is NOT \u201cThe Middle ages with more monsters and magic\u201d – it\u2019s meant to be thousands of years in the future. Civilizations have risen and fallen thousands of times, hundreds at least. The world isn\u2019t on the entropic stage (Dying Earth, Zothique, Urth of the New Sun) yet but the green hills have had so much laughter and tears over the aeons\u2026 That\u2019s why there are \u201cDungeons\u201d full of crazy creatures. Why \u2018races\u2019 can mix – half elves, half orcs – Dragons with EVERYTHING\u2026. Because some \u201cWizard Lord\u201d 10,000+ years back got bored and horny and twisted man into all sorts of creature from mythology and his sick imagination\u2026 Why \u201cDungeons\u201d are everywhere even outside a middle ages\/early renaissance village and no one is freaking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that D&D has advertised that connection much – they got a big lawsuit from the Tolkien estate and surely there are those that lick the coffin of Jack Vance and Robert E Howard\u2026 But the inspiration is there – right down to the Magic system\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the baggage distracted me.
My point is it\u2019s FAR better FAR more respectable FAR more moral to take censors head on than capitulate. Gygax fought them bare knuckled – waiting then making sure they couldn\u2019t edit for \u2018time\u2019 an interview (think \u201cHomer Badman\u201d) so he could get his voice out and pointed how much of a failure he was if he was the \u201cDevil\u2019s Minion\u201d due to the lowering effect via statistics the game had on negative behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how SJWs, modern “Hipsters of HATE” spend their $ or rather their parent’s $… They bought a NEW car and NEW fursuits and NEW sledgehammers and destroyed said car to protest an Alaskan race or something… Think the car company sponsored it coz LOTS of customers in Alaska… Pathetic to watch them – no they weren’t destroying it slowly, they could barely lift the hammers after a few swings. IF you – any company – cater to them they work multiple Starbuck’s jobs to pay interest on their gender studies degree. IF they somehow earn $ they throw it away on sh-t fake causes, save the GAY whales and give it to a charlatan and\/or need $ for legal fees after a disruptive protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You modify the game to cater to whiny SJWs either trying to con you for $ or protesting with their \u2018fashionably radical friends\u2019 – it’s not just at “Better be a private company, coz Investors should be able to SUE you for stupid…” – it’s worse than that… You open the door for the next Fundamentalist push and casual Govern-NOT censorship. Back in the 80s they raved how evil Dungeons and Dragons was and tried Chick Tract style to connect it to Satanism and Child Molestation. Oh, and the news LOVED it – sure beat things like the Booooring \u201cS&L scandal\u201d that cost the country big time and the lost $ went into the \u201cNeoCon\u201d agenda\u2026 Too bad AIDS killed far more people (including straight, non-degenerate) weekly than any legit satanists did the entire century and most kids were more in danger at home and that was microscopic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it clear we\u2019ll have rounds of censorship, \u2018official\u2019 3rd party boards (like comics code authority) that demand $ and can censor for any\/no reason – if you cater to these \u201cHipsters of Hate\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I\u2019m calling a full BOYCOTT of new \u201cDungeons and Dragons\u201d.
No – no one throw away their existing stuff.
But – don\u2019t buy NEW stuff. There\u2019s a shitload of stuff existing customers have – why waste $ that\u2019ll be bland but stanky TURDS meant to feed \u201cSocial Justice Warriors\u201d – who won\u2019t BUY it either\u2026 They just want others to change to then insult and laugh at them – pure adult baby CryBullies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awesome Module!
Good to get rid of SJWs also!
It’s got a “Meat Grinder” phase where the players start with THREE Lv0 characters – they play the one they get, not make up some “Mary Sue” – they MIGHT have ONE of them survive – then they get points and get to continue playing. If it’s like a public library, school, mall you play in – do a “Meat Grinder” on all players – the SJWs can’t handle not being in control and will bail rather than having their Mommy named “Karen” shriek at administrators about how evil you were to them.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We should try alternative systems or stick with the OLD system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and upcoming for a while – my \u201cNot F.A.T.A.L. but Serious<\/a>\u201d – no it\u2019s not another 3rd party RPG system but a sourcebook – FREE – and will be on my webpage ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But – you can play it without it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A – gatekeep SJWs out of your games – really – Tom Hanks – Mazes and Monsters – want some pathetic snowflake in your group?
B – ADD some NASTY aspects to your RPG campaign. More sexism like slave girls being auctioned. Direct connection to Drow and their skin, say another Drow (not Drizzt) is trying to escape – and the characters protect her while she goes to a few shrines and plays.. Then she\u2019s redeemed and turns into a LIGHT SKINNED elf since she\u2019s GOOD now\u2026
C – don\u2019t turn every campaign into a \u201cVile\u201d one – just add a few tiny things that make the SNOWFLAKES CRY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do that and all WoTC gets for their pandering is LOST SALES and all the Snowflakes get for their braying and CryBullying is they made things WORSE\u2026(by their snowflake standards)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dungeons and Dragons changes hands all the time. A few years of “Woke” they’ll be out the door and bought by someone else. We’ll likely see high gloss classic style modules complete with newly made Chinasaurs, that Ral Partha warrior lady with no top on, etc. Or they can waste the trees and plastic and wait to be bought out again…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
