Green Ronin HACKED!

[d20Dwarf]

Well, here we are just prolonging it. Anyway, you might be right, but the way things have been for the past few months has me, and many I'm sure, on edge. There are lines being drawn now that will have consequences in the future.

In any case, pop in the chatroom if you want to talk about it further so we don't just continue making asshats of ourselves discussing the asshats.

Where did that word come from anyway?

Well, the email link is a mail-to to a Russian domain name (.ru), so consider the source. Although at first I thought it read:

"No Warts! Borsht go home!"

Ah, well. Dyslexia has its advantages

Cheers!

It's sad really ...I never would have thought Green Ronin tied into the war effort......the things you learned from intelligent folks online.

Now of course I wonder what other D20 company is secretly supporting the government.......hmmm, Bastion Press recently releases Airships.........a coincidence???? Yeah, like I'm going to believe that now.....

Pssst. Don't look now, but WotC's Modern book details secret gov't projects in the FX section and by mentioning the Moreaus. Further, their Savage Species books details genetic engineering attempts gone awry.

All of the above is said with my tongue firmly planted in the my cheek.

BREAKING NEW FLASH!!

Green Ronin Latest Casualty

Today, the highly elite Kazaan Hackers hit yet another pro-war site, using thier highly trained staff, they attacked and disabled a well known Department of Defense d20 subsidary known as "Green Ronin", obviously a section determined to devise cloyphyll based ninjas for the US d20 war machine.
A spokesman for Kazaan, speaking from anonymitititity, with a plastic "Safeway" bag over his head, had this to say:
"Gre...gasp! urrgg..."
We can only speculate upon this important message.
President of the United States, George Bush, was seen packing his plastic bag with his clothes in it into his station wagon and leaving the Green Ronin company building right afterwards.
How they got past Green Ronin's elite Mutants & Masterminds to strike directly at the company itself (which obviously has ties to the UN CyberNinja program) and bring the American War machine to a complete and sudden halt. Without the massive amount of funds generated by Green Ronin, the alien overlords of North America, the Pokemon, will not be able to continue thier campaign of terror against the harmless shrew people of Ontario.
We are glad to bring you this semi-coherent scoop.

Actually, the whole anti-war schtick is a smokescreen. The real culprits are a super secret clandestine group of publishers who are miffed over being snubbed at the Origins nominations since Green Ronin got five and they weren't even acknowledged.

I think this thread is just about done. Remember, folks, expressing political views - even for highly respected publishers and designers - isn't appropriate here.

Thread closed.
