Looking for a good set of Chinese Mahjong tiles without any Arabic numerals. Anyone here bought one that you could recommend?

Your best bet may be one of the old vintage bone Mahjong sets. They're plentiful on eBay.

I don't think so. The kickstarter made a splash, generated some conversation about noble savages in the Tabletop RPG General thread, and then vanished until we found out they were begging the filthy whiteys to buy their book. So if you're got interesting material on their community, might as well post it here.

Well, it's not much, admittedly; mostly the community has been posting a fuck-ton of cringe on the Discord.
Sadly, I can't take pictures on my laptop - the damn thing is in serious need of repairs - so I'll just copy and paste a bunch of the quotes I've found. Sorry.

The very fact that Cosplay is not Consent is a thing...

Speaking of... I still find it amazing that something like Monte Cook's Consent in Gaming is less than 10 years old. I am in a space where enough people still think a consent checklist is unnecessary that it's put me off playing with people in that space. (edited)

settlers/colonizers tend to see hawaii and as an extension of that hawaiians as their playthings or maybe at best like a zoo that they can vacation in and fuck with

My opinion, when they stop following the Teachings, they arent Indigenous any more. Sure, they can become Indigenous again if they realize the errors of their ways, but while they are colonialized, they arent Indigenous

Oh, that's easy. There is no "work week", per se. There's work cycles as far as seasonal tasks go, and then then unless you're a shopkeeper or working for a shopkeeper there is "I work until the task is done or I hit a good stopping point". Think "mañana time". Shopkeepers generally have it a bit more regimented to help serve customers, but I can guarantee that only the truly obsessive are watching the clock to make sure you show up to work on time. Or leave on time.

And even then it probably wouldn't be unheard of for certain shopkeeps or artisans to just every now and then say "screw it, I'm done for the day" and just go fishing.

I get so tired of White folks clutching their pearls at the idea of human sacrifice or talking about how the Mexica needed to be shown more civilized ways. Meanwhile, European countries never stopped cannibalizing their own or the Peoples they colonized. (edited)

Content Warning: Cannibalism, torture, and colonization practiced by Europeans
Spanish Inquisition lasted for hundreds of years (concurrent with colonization of the Americas) and killed thousands of Europeans in what were obviously religious and ritualistic torture. During the Crusades, European soldiers ate Muslim prisoners.
Europeans consumed and commodified Egyptian mummies that they stole, considering mummies as medicinal or having other special properties. Some social elite acquired mummies for their parties as part of the 'entertainment.' This use of human remains by Europeans was not an isolated one. People often attended hangings of prisoners for entertainment, but also to loot the bodies themselves as blood and other parts were considered to have special properties (medicinal and other). This is documented as happening widely in the 16th and 17th centuries, and included documented cases into the early 20th century: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-gruesome-history-of-eating-corpses-as-medicine-82360284/
From the linked article: “The one thing that we know is that almost all non-Western cannibal practice is deeply social in the sense that the relationship between the eater and the one who is eaten matters,” says Conklin. “In the European process, this was largely erased and made irrelevant. Human beings were reduced to simple biological matter equivalent to any other kind of commodity medicine.”
jade_calavera — 03/08/2023 2:04 PM
That does make some sense. I am still learning about Mexican history & geography because I was educated in the USA, so that means we basically learned nothing about Mexico and absolutely nothing about Indigenous Nations of South America other than "They committed human sacrifices and probably cannibalism"
Owlinstruments — 02/07/2023 4:03 PM
But really how different is that to the way they teach most history of America (which is to whitewash everything)

Which is why 40K draws fascists to it. I won't blame anyone for liking it but it's a huge warning flag for me. The local group that's into it around my neck of the woods are barely closeted fascists. One guy carries his armies in a toolbox with Trump-as-Emperor painted on the sides.

there's also a "no politics" rule their strictly enforce. And being LGBTQ+, black, native, or anything like that isnt "politics", its just people existing.

I'm lucky enough to live in a very liberal college town in Red State Midwest USA. Our friendly local game store is run by a friend of mine who is a Real Life Bard. Anyone stupid enough to show up with THAT kind of stuff would either find themselves talked in circles until they realize the error of their ways or get the boot for being dicks to the owner.

Believe me, this is just a small fraction of the sheer amount of shit that's in the C&C Discord. I've been following them all for a while now, and... well, let's just say I'm surprised there isn't more coverage of these guys.

I have no idea, but it'd have to be a pretty serious accusation given some of the other shit Payment Processors allow for the politically kosher.
That said all tabletop designers are the creepiest fucks you're ever gonna meet. You really don't want to know the shit that didn't get into White Wolf stuff.

One of the last planned series of sourcebooks for Aberrant before the whole line went into the dumpster was a trio covering the Mega-Attributes: "Brainwaves" for mental, "Brute Force" for physical, and "Cults of Personality" for social. These books were advertised and were apparently in editing when the cancellation came down. There were rumors that "Cults of Personality" was the reason for the whole damn cancellation, as the author had featured a nova or faction focused on what amounted to a superpowered kiddy diddler.
No idea if it's true, not sure if it's what you're referring to, but the White Wolf crew has been full of weirdos for decades.

Reading the arrogance of a bunch of white and mexican people LARPing as pure natives is hilarious. Especially since they somehow did something so degenerate and coomery they got kicked off a pay exchange. Rather curious what specific fetish did them in on that one.

It was probably the planned C&C&C&C
Coyote & Crow & Cha'alt Crossover also called CCCX or 3CX or CXXX. A Collaboration with Venger to bring the gonzo setting of Cha'alt to the Coyote & Crow universe. A "What if" the white-people seeking meteor tore a hole in reality and caused Europe to merge with the sleazy sci-fi gonzo world of Cha'alt. You'll need to pow-wow with your strongest braves and bring heap good medicine to keep Cha'alt's eldritch energies from gonzoing Vinland. You'll be red in the face at the savage combat against these otherworld invaders. The developers are being tight lipped but have sent up some smoke signals about expected content, including a random table of sci-fi pop culture references that will age like fine milk; numbers 8-20 are just instructions to make something up.
Also includes a free 'zine with guidance for GMs on how to bring Coyote and Crow to space by porting C&C characters/adventures into Alpha Blue.
