Which makes sense, if you think about it in terms of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. If you're focused on the lower survival based issues, you have less bandwidth to pay attention to learning and growing.

If you're resorting to hyperbolic false equivalencies, then it shows your argument is weak. Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

No, just move on to Terry Pratchet...

I just wanted to add to this conversation between you and @Argyle King. I think it's entirely understandable and reasonable for someone who is traditionally the victim of abuse saying, "No, I'm not going to be nice. Screw those guys. What they are doing is bad, end stop." And I also can see...

I disagree. When you're financially helping someone who is actively harmful, that does result in more people getting hurt than otherwise would be because that person now has more resources to propagate their hate. Several other folks have already provided examples, so I won't beat that horse. I...

You can't just look at Klan membership now though. They are splintered among a lot of groups. Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, etc. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, in 2023 there were 165 active white nationalist groups in the US, the highest they've ever recorded.

If one person had all the money, it would be worthless. Because that's how economies work. Money is just a representation of perceived value, and if no one else had any, they'd simply use another system, like donuts or something.

You seem to be making an assumption that everyone disagreeing with you had plush comfortable childhoods. No dude, you're not the only one to have an abusive experience growing up. My dad should be in prison. For lots of things. It's because of those experiences why I'm so against abuse. (It's...

As someone in my 50s, I get this. It's sad and disappointing. Edit with the exception the bigoted voices were known to me. Kinda like animal farm. We were all bullied and outcasts, but when we formed our own group, a lot of folks I know became the thing we hated, creating their own hierarchy of...

To be fair, here, and especially RPG.net, have a certain bias among the user base that doesn't represent most of the OSR (sadly IMO). The chat on discord and FB and REddit seem to be much different than what I see on here and RPG.net. (I won't tell you how many OSR groups on FB I've left because...

Maybe not. It seems in most OSR aligned groups out there, most people don't really care and will continue to buy GG stuff.

Not to toot my own horn, but I will ;) Several years ago (before Shadowdark was a thing), I put out Chromatic Dungeons, an AD&D retroclone that is not only LGBTQ friendly, I made it a point to hire artists of marginalized groups to ensure representation within the book. There are some of us OSR...

When this first was announced, I saw a lot of backers ask if Goodman Games was going to honor their original pledges. At the very least from a moral standpoint (not my argument, but one I've heard). I doubt that's going to happen. Goodman games is under no obligation. They licensed the IP...

Yeah, one side has build metaphorical walls, "I don't want those toxic views in my circle." The other side is building literal walls and sending people to camps. Wrong side of history there, Mr. Goodman. What's that phrase? Disagreement is for things like pineapple on pizza, not...

Not just a blow up. A blow up at work, not at home. In an office with the other senior leaders. To an employee who happened to also be a de facto adopted son.

I feel ya. My oldest is 34. The youngest is 9. At the youngest's soccer games, I'm almost twice as old as the other parents lol. A couple thought I was grandpa.

Have them? I still play with them ;). Played with my Moldvay set last night as a matter of fact, although I probably shouldn't have since I failed 4 out of 5 cure wounds spell checks in Shadowdark...
