Good enough to reshare: RPGs are for Anyone, not Everyone Simply put: Very very few things are for everyone. Virtually anyone that wants to can get into Pen and Paper RPGS (or tabletop, or what have you) - as long as you want to and are coming to get into the thing itself, and are not coming in with the main goal of changing it or taking it over. Guy in the video says it much better than I have. |

That's true for a lot of things in life, especially hobbies. The door is open if you're coming to get into the thing itself, and are not coming in with the main goal of changing it or taking it over. If you want to play pickleball, play pickleball. Don't try to change tennis into pickleball. Some people enjoy playing tennis. |

He said something about immigration into a culture by people who want to exploit it leading to destruction and turning it into nothing. Almost like this applies to everything. The last couple modern RPGs I've picked up have been...unimpressive with their inclusion. As an example, the Twilight 2000 remake somehow spent all it's time focusing on Sweden, and rewriting history to make Sweden a crux of the Twilight War because NATO and the Warsaw Pact were clearly missing out on the strategic value of Swedes or something. Really it's to pander and sell to Swedes, who live where it's cold, learn English because no one speaks their native tongue, and maybe the writers were swedes who wanted to self insert. Made the game feel pointess. The radical setting change didn't feel like the original game, it felt like some fantasy Tales from the Loop/Things from the Flood that's retro swede-centric. It's trying to be historical fiction, but because sweden wasn't involved, feels like absurd fantasy. Then there was some standard lame and gay diversity representation that belongs even less in "we really wanted to be involved in the cold war, too" Sweden , but it was really missing the point of the whole cold war by sweden trying to self-insert where it chose not to belong historically. Supposedly the system was good, but I don't really care. Original T2K was fine by me, I like rolling a shitload of d20s to account for every round from burst fire. |

He's describing the tactic used by the critical Marxist infiltrators in every field in the world. Guilt the players/members/conferees/worshippers into thinking they're not inclusive enough/Install consultants to make them more inclusive/consultants make everything woke/exclude the original members for being too white/organization goes broke because they suck and hate all their members. It's happened in fandoms, churches, service organizations, conventions, Disney. Literally anywhere the woke brain-virus infiltrates, it destroys. They invade productive spaces and convert them to production facilities for brain dead Marxist clones. |

It's like they're incapable of creating anything original. |

In looking through some of the early One D&D artwork that is supposedly going to be in the PHB I didn't notice anything odd or unusual, but the selection from the article might have been cherry picked and represented run of the mill fantasy artwork. WotC is still shitty though for other reasons. |

It's like they're incapable of creating anything original. That's because they can't. I'll add the paraphrase of Tolkien as it applies. Evil is not able to create anything new, it can only distort and destroy what has been invented or made by the forces of good. |

D&D became something else with WOTC and continued down a separate path from its origins. Same with the White Wolf products, which started very liberal to begin with. All it did was get a few blue haired weirdos online to support the product, but my friends and I who have spent thousands on the hobby have stuck to our old versions and skip over any new products. Don't get me started on WH40K. |
WTF is up with this bullshit anti-bayo lug crap. Was there a group of irrate japanese guys bonzai charging disabled school children and puppies that I wasn't aware of?
