this article sucks dawg. people who use tarot cards do not dislike them being used in games. they love it. who do you think is making the games that use tarot as a resolution system? and opinions of some insane reaganite moral majority weirdo who's somehow reading indie rpgs can be safely...

Their option was either "do this" or "go out of business". I think the fact they are clearly pushing back against this should indicate that they want to fix this in a good way too.

Also, I don't recall if it's been posted yet: Protect Queer Creators and Sex Workers - Tell Payment Processors to STOP Here's a website that's just a collection of customer service lines at which you can voice your displeasure with this disgusting overreach, censorship, and acquiescing to...

maybe yall should stop rageposting about the scary and nasty Other Ideas that have polluted your Pure Gygaxian Industry. this thread is full of people actively trying to Deny the validity of non-heavily-prepped-"sim" play. Active hostility to the idea that such play could even have merit. And...

I really like how in this post you are both mad about the idea of loose definitions and also mad that the attempt has been made to define things. Pick a side dawg.

He says it right there that it's not disparaging, so I guess you just aren't reading the posts you're quoting. Can you explain what part you find to be disparaging, if you don't have hangups over it being described with traditionally feminine terms?

lmao this thread has gotten completely unreadable when logged in now due to ignores (both toward me and by me). funny I'm astonished at this thread going for 1540 pages in complete circles. I really wonder what value the people so vehemently insisting that non heavily prepped hypersimulationism...

Rascal subscriptions are free. Their articles that are locked behind a paid subscription say so.

This game is soooo good. Highly recommend.
