Imagine entertaining that clown's Film Robert tier of trying hard to sound smart drivel for over a paragraph.
What a doormat one has to be to let oneself get talked to that way.

What? That's her literal porn name.
And here are all of her roles for mature audiences, including cult classics like Whipped Ass, Fuck Team Five and MILF Next Door

Think I found myself some lolcows.
Entering 9thLevel, mainly because of these two Kickstarter products:

Women are Werewolves, a nonbinary story game
>Play as non-binary characters in a family where only the women transform into werewolves. On the next full moon, who will you be?

You see, it's a subtle play on how gender roles are traditionally linked to "arbitrary" social constructs like "has a vagina". Such pottery. Much wow :roll:

(Also probably a lot more problematic if you replace "turns into a werewolf" with "gets pregnant").

Rebel Scum

Aka "Star Wars, except the Rebels are literally Antifa".
Plus it starts with a manifesto that has nothing to do with the actual game, as is proud tradition with SJW RPGs:
Over the last few years, there has been a startling rise in the number of people that are willing to SPEW HATE. These people believe in white power, and fill the internet with nativist, racist, fascist crap. Quite a few of these evildoers are deeply entrenched in the various FANDOMS that us nerds adore. Very specifically the fandom of a certain space opera franchise that we love with our whole hearts has too many sad bad guys.
"It's not woketard infiltrating all fandoms. It's the other way around!" :roll:
We are making REBEL SCUM as a way to re-discover the roots of the original message - how some scrappy, anti-fascist heroes can fight back against a government with unlimited power (including giant lasers and space magic). There is something refreshing and healing about getting to punch space nazis in their faces in a game, while we are living in a time when we have once again been called on to fight ACTUAL fascism in the real world (not just in our space operas).
Always find it cute when these people think tabletop RPGs are a therapy session, and/or that their game has like the potential power to change the world for the better.
Kinda reminds me of a politicized version of these fantasy heartbreaker writers going "D&D has lots its way, let me save it by making my own shitty knockoff!"
Rebel Scum uses a supercharged CINEMATIC set of polymorph rules - where players take DANGER for failing or doing stupid things - which can lead them to being knocked out of a scene (only to come back later after a refresh). They gain STARS by punching FASCISTS IN THE FACE (literally, metaphorically, or with the blaster cannons of their ZX99 Spectrum Starfighter)
>ZX99 Spectrum Starfighter

'Cause I always thought that Star Wars needed more console references.

Oh, and the "Empire" has been replaced with the "Republic", just in case you had any doubts about these guys' political allegiance :lol:

So, if they aykshurely are enby, according to their own moon-logic, none of them turn trans werewolves? Or is this too much logic applied to their fairy science?

No. No, I had not :3

I guess if you're truly enby you'd turn into some kind of half-werewolf? Like that lame werewolf form from Werewolf: The Apocalypse/Forsaken that's between "regular human" and "furry murder machine", where you're just some buff dude with slight kemonomimi features?

(One of these can murder 1d5 vampires per turn. Guess which one it is.)

All that wink wink nudge nudge talk about a WAR in the STARS

I hope the Mouse's lawyer's don't let this slide. Also, what a wnderful quirky troupe. I am sure at least 2 of them aren't allowed 100 meters from an elementary school/kindergarten :3

They'll be fine. The history of tabletop is full of Star Wars ripoffs, especially Not-Jedi and evil star empires. If that shit isn't in a core book, it's bound to show up in a supplement (like the Science Fiction Companion for Savage Worlds - which has writeups for Not-Jedi and Not-Stormtroopers -, or literally anything that ports over D&D and its various forks into space).

What is relatively rare though is a RPG that's literally just Star Wars with the numbers filed off. This did however happen to Star Trek (with a second edition since 2013) because some writer was salty that he couldn't get the Trek license for his idea.

The closest thing would be Strike Legion, and even that is more like "Star Trek vs Star Wars, except both sides are also 40k".

They are at least correct about more people spewing hate these days. They are their own example.
I've hung out with hammer skins more tolerant than them.

Every wanted to shill out hundreds of bucks so you can play D&D in a real castle with a bunch of faggots?! Now you can!


Very eurocentric*, if you ask me. Also an awful lack of diversity :thinking:

*) "eurocentric" is a bad word in the tabletop community these days, since it implies lotsa white people and Paladins that probably look like crusaders. Even though the same people glamoring for non-eurocentric campaign settings (of which there have always been quite a lot, no matter how often modern Kickstarters claim that fantasy tabletop RPGs have only ever been about medieval Europe before) also swear that Europe has always been full of black people.
