The first printing of Spelljammer: Adventures in Space included two pieces of content that fans correctly flagged as offensive. The first is an illustration of a hadozee bard that resembles offensive minstrelsy materials and other racist depictions of Black people. The second is a paragraph about hadozees that reinforces harmful real-world stereotypes. Future reprints will omit both the illustration and the offensive text, neither of which had been reviewed by cultural experts.

Now of course you can argue REEEECISM into the subject matter, that is if you are are brainless mongoloid leftist that only sees racism, even if it means reaching back to the 1800's

And why should noggers be offended? Fucking Jethro Tull has more reason to be offended than them.

Also:
White DMs and players, please check your gaming privilege
Yes. I have checked, and am perfectly content with it :3

Saner minds could argue that this is really just a generic bard pose meant to evoke the bard prancing around during his performance instead of just standing/sitting around, but what does a cornstarch crusader like me know about this kind of stuff :roll: ?

Here's an example of a non-white Bard appropriating this.
Warning: This is a 5e Halfling, who for some reason are always drawn extremely fugly and with fucked-up proportions.

Also here's an interesting factoid about this twittertard: White queermos are experts on the field of minstreldom.

They have no talent. Meanwhile needs can still develop homebrew gaming systems that are way better than whatever the fuck these talentless hacks do. I remember coming across some 4e homebrew rules that almost completely fixed its most glaring problems on top of introducing new interesting mechanics; at the same time, WotC was power-creeping and introducing math patches on feats so 90% of the optimized characters looked the same.
4e had some strange issues. it took them like till the third Monster Manual to notice that the monsters are a bit too damage-spongy, and "math patches on feats" was their main way of fixing the match on player characters.
I mean, the second Player's Handbook introduced the "Weapon Expertise" Feat (a rare way to increase your Base Attack Bonus) because they realized the PC's attack bonus grew slightly slower than the enemy's AC. One of the most common house rules I know of just gives everyone that Feat (or at least its mechanical effect) for free because screw having to waste a Feat slot because Wizards can't be arsed to actually adjust the classes directly.

I wish I was as racist as them. They make stuff offensive that most people would never have paid any mind to.

It also doesn't hurt that convincing companies about allgeded racism in their products is a nice way to gain power over them (as seen with this shadow cabal that is now in charge of greenlighting everything D&D).

That cast picture alone tells you this is some tumblr-tier trash.
I like how at least two of those PCs have a weird, vacant stare.
I like how there's no human in the party (the closest being two half-elves), and 3 of them are some special snowflake race instead of something saner.
I like how most of them are suffering from sameface syndrome. I guess most went with a special snowflake race so you could tell them apart.
I like how most of the PCs use "She/They" pronouns (which I can only imagine boiling down to everyone using "she" anyways, much like what probably ends up happening with their IRL players)

I like how the only male(-identifying) PC has the mandatory "I'm a beta cuck / fag" tumblr look (the only one allowed for cis males):

The Bolter Bitches have gotten their first new unit (not just some variant that boils down to alternate model parts) in almost two decades.
Unfortunately Games Workshop hasn't learned their lesson from when the entire fandom made fun of the Grey Knight's Dreadknight.

Weird AF d20 fork

So there's this Renegade Game Studios, which mostly seem to produce licenses card games for Hasbro licensed stuff and a bit of Vamprie the Masquerade (bloody hell, the licenses for the old World of Darkness are all over the place after White Wolf got gutted).
They've recently also started delving into RPGs based on those Hasbro licenses, including G.I. Joe, Power Rangers, Transformers and I think eventually also My Little Pony (which would be the second MLP RPG, or the third if you count the unofficial Ponyfinder).

The unifying system behing all of these is called Essence20, some kind of trimmed-down d20-based thingie.
For starters HP is a lot lower, and most attacks just deal 1 damage. Weird seeing this outside of a wargame, but whatever.
It does the standard "roll d20 + modifiers and try to beat a target number" action resolution, with the modifiers usually based on your skill.
Unlike regular d20, skills are like in Savage Worlds in that their rated as a die (1d2 to 1d12 in this case), which you add to the d20 roll - because apparently the d20 was not notoriously swingy enough.
If you're specialized in a skill, you roll all dice up to your actual skill rating and take the higher result. I'm sure that 1d2 will make all the difference.
On top of that, you have 5e's advantage/disadvantage system where you roll two d20 and keep the higher or lower result.

Apparently this is considered "easier" than just adding or subtracting numbers to the d20 roll.
Also looks like the writers looked at Shadow of the Demon Lord and decided they could do it "better".

(In SotDL you roll d20 + static modifiers + "boons & banes", which replace your attack bonus and situational modifiers and always result in a much simpler "roll one or more d6, keep the highest and then add or subtract depending on whether you have more boons or banes")

This week on

The most racist book since Racial Holy War (apparently)
Image

>campaign guide about [non-white place]
>written by white people
>no sensitivity readers involved


I wonder what twitter thinks of this :roll: (archive)

It's "Hawai'i", not "Hawaii", you Literal Hitler :roll:
More on the insensitive art in a bit.
"Raciall statted living people" boils down "You get +1 to [stat] if you're from [culture]". Disgusting.
("Aotearoa" means "New Zealand" for all of your colonizers out there, btw)

White people drawing island folks with tattoos is of the highest haram. Don't even think about it.
I almost wonder what this guy thinks of the cultural appropriation found in Pokemon Sun & Moon.
(archive)

I also hated reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms and finding all the names written in the Latin alphabet. It was the Opium Wars all over again.
Even doing research as a white person is heresy, since you will naturally use European literature, which doesn't even begin to be valid.

Also lots and lots of bitching about how this 240+ page book dares to simplify the deep and multi-faceted cultural nuances of each and every tribe of Glorious Polynesia. Also lots and lots of colonizer accusations, which is a bit weird since the entire point of the book is to play as a Polynesian.

Well, at least the Discord server (with the actual customers) is less irate about the whole deal.
They've also been warned beforehand that this shitstorm will probably happen, so hopefully the Design Mechanism doesn't do anything stupid.

Holy mother load, this abbo guy is making a longer tirade than spoony describing his bronchitis.
Funny how he ends with "at least Varg isn't a coward but a proud racist unlike you" and the obligatory "so I herd ur publisher has been informed that you wrote Mein Kampf 2 (by me :3 )"
