Wrath is the last straw for me. Tabletop and CRPG gaming has been wholly co-opted by white left, genderfluid furries and anti-white racists. It's not only the devs, but based on the game's reception also a majority of the fans. This has been going on for a while. Like the frog in the pot, as the water gradually heats up. The water is boiling now, it's so fucking hot it's evaporating. There's no more denying, ignoring or minimizing what has already happened to our hobby.
At this point we're at a decision point and we have a few options.
1. Submit. Kneel, fly the pride flag, take the gene therapy, buy a fursuit and invent a new gender. Good luck with that one.
2. Just stop playing RPGs. Look around for another form of media these bastards haven't ruined yet and get what fun we can from it until they do. Again, good hunting. I don't like your chances.
3. Start creating our own shit. This is fabulously optimistic I know, but people do it. I don't mean right wing shit. Any form of propaganda ends up being bad art. I just mean shit that isn't woke left. I see this as being all that's left to me. I'm not particularly talented at anything, but I'd like to give it a go.
Some ideas:
Games are a collaborative effort. We need people with talent, we need a goal for something to create and we need effective management of those people to make it happen. We have none of those yet, so what we need to do first is create a social context where those relationships can form. I don't know if the codex is it, but it could be more efficient to start by using what already exists, gathering where like minded people are already likely to travel.
I think, personally, I have no hope of ever developing a cRPG. I don't have the technical background and it would take me a lifetime to get it. But authoring a PnP RPG may not be beyond me, and others who do have those skills, if I can help connect them with each other, may be interested in basing games on it. I'm not a great writer but I'm literate, and I think I make some pretty great characters in games. Some of them seem more like NPCs than PCs. I think I could do something like that, but it will still take a lot of learning to do it well.
This thread is a place to discuss ideas on how to get something started, both for me personally and any others who might want something like this to exist. Maybe, if we can get 3 or 4 of us interested we could run through a DnD module together, get to know each other. Then we can come up with ideas as to where to from there.
It isn't much, but that's the best I have. We have to do something.
