They can try all the day, but they can't control the players. I'd be surprised if we don't end up making a retardo Death Wish sequel by session two. What are they going to do, tell my man he can't shoot soul-stealing gypsies or something because it's culturally insensitive in his own campaign? I've always found Kulturkampf in RPG to be poisonous and useless, because you know your players will go for the lulz or the fun way to solve problems and won't care for the online screeching. The writers have no power on your campaign, after all.

Also, paying for RPGs. Writers need to suffer, and I support exclusively piracy-friendly products (there are some, amusingly enough).
Per normal when someone says "muh tuble" I'm going to keep screaming like Cassandra, be ignored and maybe regarded as hardline grog with PTSD from the culture wars. But years later on as you wallow in Tranny filth maybe you'll remember you were warned. Don't call it a gender reassignment clinic, its the future you chose.

The issue isn't just giving money (or not giving money) to wokies. When you use a wokie's system, you are granting them social capital. Sure none of the guys at your table are faggots, but later on when they go looking for "Dresden Codex" games because they had fun with yours, they will discover leftie faggots and maybe get convinced that it racist for them have had the wrong sort of fun. Sure "muh tuble" you're running shit based as fuck, but when you go look for modules, addons, more content... its going to be wokie shit. You can say its absolutely retarded that PF2e has banned slavery, but that means you have to bolt slavers onto every module.

When people are looking for that streamlined, convenience factor and willing to part with some bucks it they will remember the name of the system you pirated.

Anyway, I gotta go get ready to run tonights 4e D&D game.

I'll be down with this movie if it's all metagaming and chatting out of character.

I got you fam
 
We had a fun session last night, we're doing a few centered around the individual PCs before we get the gang back together for the next big job.

Last week our cleric/resident nobleman survived an assassination attempt by the Red Mantis assassins, and did a lot of kingdom management spreadsheet autism.
This week was for my hellknight magus and his cohort/son

He was on the backfoot through most of the trial, but came out on top through some incredibly lucky rolls. The DM uses a fumble chart, fumble confirms, etc.
The Bearded Devil was really laying into the cohort, but he rolled and confirmed a fumble, and the die came up 100, knocking him retarded.
Our cohort delivers the coup de grace and gets to swear to the Measure and Chain and become a Gate signifer for having fortune's favor.
He had a little celebration afterwards, and got a graduation gift from the cleric PC.

After the party my PC went on a trip to repair his relationship with his estranged father over a game of catch, had his name written in on the family tree, and got to spend some quality time with his brothers while he was visiting.

Altogether it was wholesome chungus 💯

Next weekend our aberrant bloodrager is gonna be undergoing advanced surgery and/or mindscape shenanigans to remove an aboleth from his brain stem.

The good lieutenant here fails to mention that he's a dhampir, his dad's a vampire, and his brothers are all horrid abominations.

Anyone happen to know any good boards for character creation? One of my players is trying to make a shapeshifter character for a WoD anti-woke campaign, but he's struggling with deciding between either Mokole or Bastet for the character.

While it's not a board the Fatal and Friends reviews of Changeing Breeds do a decent comparison of the various Bastet types as well as some of the mechanical stuff in Changeing Breeds.



Also according to this there was errata making Mokole additional levels of BS.


Due to their cold blood, all Mokolé can soak fire damage when not in Homid form.

If given the option I'd personally always go the one easiest to turn into a kaiju.

Yeah, we're definitely leaning towards the Mokole as well; issue is, the character was going to be white - like, Irish or German white - to best fit in with the "anti-woke" design that we were going to be running, and as far as I can tell there aren't any white Mokole shifters in the WoD; they all seem to be black, Asian, or Aboriginal. That's also not getting into a lot of the other background information we were using in this character creation process.

We were thinking about simply making the character a reptilian-style Mockery Breed instead and go from there; it actually fits extremely well with one of the design influences for this character, but what do you guys think? I'm also willing to go ahead and post a general write-up on how our player was developing this character; background information, influences, that sort of thing.

Easy, the Mokole is a wigger doing the We Waz Kangz shit because he has a great great grandfather from Morocco or something. Like Shaun King, but it turns out he's actually black enough to transform.

Time to appropriate some culture.

edit: if you want to do it seriously, Europe isn't known for lizards but there are plenty of snakes, so have him be like a were-adder. If Irish you could tie in the clan's background to being what St. Patrick expelling the snakes from Ireland was an allegory for or some shit

Snakes are a whole different changing breed (Naga), thought to be extinct, and they prefer to keep it that way. If he's going anti-woke, why not a racist cajun?

Or go full "Dinosaurs are Dragons" - be Irish Dragon who likes to scream "BOOSTER", have PSTD with boobs, and is in an eternal slap fight with a britbong dragon. I mean, everything in WoD runs of "Based in a True Story" logic.

That might unironically be what we end up going with. Doesn't seem like there are any real options for a white Mokole; plenty for the Bastet, but why be a furry when you can be a kaiju?

Still, kinda weird that there arent't any Irish or German - or hell, even white European in general - Mokole. Yeah, the Mockery Breed option is still on the table, but having a natural shapeshifter would be nice.
 
That's exactly what was leaving me confused; on one hand, the Vikings had a rather notable history of colonization just like the other foreign cultures the woke hate, but on the other hand, a lot of said actions were done towars the British. It's why games like AC: Vahlhalla leave me confused; they have this weird "love/hate" relationship with Viking culture.



You got any idea where I can read up on actual Viking history? I ask, because I was thinking about using some Viking stuff in a tabletop game some tip; pissing off the wokeshit and such.
Gurps did a good Viking write up and then Jackson Crawford is pretty based.
 
Best quote from our last session:

"Nice try, lady! I'd believe you, but there's a map for this encounter!"

This is why I make sure to have maps drawn that don't relate to anything going on or about to happen, and every once and a while, tactic out the talky encounters. Keeps them on their toes.

Fun fact: "Viking" is a profession name, not the name of an ethnic group. So unlike most "diversity" inclusions, it would actually be within the realm of historical accuracy to have a black Viking, as there actually were Africans who moved into the Scandinavian region and could have easily taken up the profession.

Also, pirates in general were a multiethnic lot, and essentially as egalitarian as you'd see in the time. To the extent you carried your weight you'd be respected.

This is why it's retarded to insist on shoving "diverse" characters into every imaginable setting even though there's no shortage of real historical contexts where it makes perfect sense.
 
Raiders of the Serpent Sea finally released if you want to run a vikings campaign in 5e. The writers include several ex-bioware writers but I haven't noticed anything overtly woke except all the kingdoms and clans being multiracial and diverse but it kinda makes sense in the setting.
>multiracial
>clan


I guess words don't mean things in this setting.
