FATAL is a great example. An article poking fun at it for being a badly written fever dream created by a horny pervert is hilarious. An article criticizing it for for being sexist and misogynistic would just be tiresome horseshit.

It is actually both those things but that's not what's funny about it. Detailed mechanics for anal circumference and a magic system so broken you can get a bad roll on a minor spell and accidentally destroy the entire world is. FATAL is unplayable but not because of lack of effort. The autistic level of detail and effort the creator put in is hilarious.

RaHoWa is a much lazier shitpost of a game that is unplayable for literally having practically no actual gameplay elements, and those that do exist suck. Also you have a racist game that gives massive buffs to blacks and Jews to the point some Jews can literally not be beaten by the inferior white characters.

Re-reading my original post, I can see how it might have come across as a defense of RaHoWa. I can assure you it’s far from the case. RaHoWa is so badly written that I suspect it’s a false flag.
The thrust of my intent is to point out that 1d4 is supposed to be aligned to /tg/ values, that is, poke fun at the stupidities; yet the updated article is a textbook leftist pearl-clutch about the politics of the game as much as it’s ineptitude.

The List does in fact originate on Pundit's forum.

Considering some SJW shitheels have been trying to get Pundit deplatformed for a while now, it's fun watching them recoil when the same weapons get pointed at them.

No, I didn't think that. It's bad enough it could very well be a pure parody, and low effort enough someone would do it as a shitpost. Or it could just be the product of a true cringelord. F.A.T.A.L. by comparison is pretty obviously a serious effort, as fucked as it is. They're both funny for their own reasons.

Spoiler: Suicidal(?) poster requests a permaban

I went back through his posts, apparently he had some family members die from covid and his gf broke up with him.

✅ [Answered] - The political images thread

Recently the mods have been cracking down on "images" that are just text, which is fine by me. Are videos acceptable, if they focus on action and imagery? I have in mind the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond. I feel the action is more meaningful than a still picture of either the...

Trouble Tickets thread. Nothing else worthwhile in there, just a poster mother may I-ing the mods about videos in the political images thread.

If you're looking for content you could try searching the forums for key words like neurodivergent and seeing what it turns up.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

I feel for any people with suicidal impulses interacting with Rpg.net. While places like Twitter or TikTok are worse that dump is still awful. Hopefully it's just someone acting out for attention rather than anyone with actual problems.

 

[NerdShamer]

So, I bit the bullet and did a search for "neurodivergent" and I found a mod reprimanding an actual autist for not toeing the party line by using ableist language.

This was an conversation on how to represent a crippled character by removing dice rolls.

Many such cases!

But the important thing is that the mods have saved the day before anyone's feelings were trampled by OP's blatant disregard for neurodivergents!

 

[Jazz never died!]

I just bought the original versions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and i was curious what their take was on it and its "woke" remasters. If its negative i'd be disapointed because its the closest RPG to its tabletop alternative and the best Bioware has made.

It's interesting that they never consider the emotional labor (actual emotion labour not pretend internet posturing) of maintaining hyper focused etiquette. anyone whose worked with the general public know what a fucking chore being superficially nice constantly is, even if you believe in pc their are benefits to tolerating low key deviation to ensure effective dialogue.

If they have to "performatively" be nice, that means that they are Secret Hitlers deep down, and therefore they should be banned before they make queer trans BIPOCs kill themselves with their evil whiteness.

I suppose the fact that it's all performative is lost on them, I mean those dumb little speeches they give with a ban don't really benefit anyone.

Holy shit that "Political Images Thread" needs to be gassed. This guy getting a ban is the only funny thing in there.

It gets even funnier when you realize that Goblin Slayer's setting is essentially just "DnD but goblins reproduce via capturing and raping women".

Teal Deer was on to something in his rebuttal of Dan Olson's "Thermian Argument" video when he talked about the logical conclusion of half-orcs existing in a world where no human would willingly fuck an orc. If goblins are all male, do not reproduce asexually, and are hostile to all other species, there has to be some explanation for how they didn't die off within a generation. GS took the horrifying answer as part of its lore and used it to help justify the setting's scale on why we were focusing on a psycho table's grimdark goblin-hunting D&D game.

More or less. Though another thing is that Goblin Slayer isn't even particularly grimdark either. Just occasionally explicitly gruesome about the sort of bad ends that adventurers/soldiers/civilians can face. The initial scene with the heroine's rookie party getting destroyed is there to establish why goblins can be shown no mercy, and how Goblin Slayer being methodical, paying attention to deal, and thinking outside the box let him avoid getting defeated by bad luck like their party was. Basically setting the stage going forward for his and her characters.

After that it's mostly DnD inspired adventures killing goblins and occasionally other monsters, with lots of homages to DnD and Shadowrun, and character designs that are blatant homages to a host of other series. With only the occasional woman kidnapped/tortured/raped by goblins in need of rescue, slain adventurers or parties, or soldiers or civilians dead to remind that while the main cast and reoccurring supporting cast are okay, bad things still happen in their world. Which is more or less in line with the usual DnD settings according to various lore.

So all these people screaming about how horrible the series is, how it's dark and edgy, etc.; while the series itself is having fun and not taking itself overly seriously.

Just finished reading this whole thread. You guys have done a great job capturing the essence of what a hypocritical clusterfuck rpg.net has become. I've watched them circling the drain for many years, but those turds just keep floating.

Speaking of hypocrisy... remember folks, Purity Tests (TM) are only okay when the mods do it to users for not agreeing hard enough to the Party Line.

I love how they have about as many mods as they do active posters.
