Narrative Warfare: The Pundit Shows That Convergence Is Real

The Pundit says that WOTC is doing what we all knew would happen when SJWs take over things: they start imposing upon all the things therein, no matter how fucking retarded it is (or how impossible it is).

I said years ago that the people running these companies want to centralize the hobby. Using Muh Wokeness as the means is as good as any other, so far as that end is concerned, but knowing that this is done in tandem with using Let's Play shows like Critical Role to demonstrate how the game is meant to be (tantrums and all for dying) demonstrates that this threat is not idle.

Leftists get that institutions of all sorts work on waves of participation, so if they can control the intake then they can execute entryism over time. This video shows that the SJWs in tabletop RPGs are sufficiently confident that they can now impose their ideology upon an entire property, and they can use the peer pressure of Organized Play and Let's Play audiences to enforce conformity to that ideology.

(Just wait until wrongthinkers get expelled from stores and networks for non-compliance, and online stores--including Amazon--to disallow sale to wrongthinkers as well as of competing products due to wrongthink. It just happened to Roosh, so that is on the table.)

Walk away from D&D5 and SJW TRPGdom now. Regress Harder. Play the Old School and those faithful to it.

    1. Don't. It's where Mech-Piloting got normalized.

    2. Concur with Bradford. Pick up a copy of AD&D 1 or 2, or even B/X to "regress harder".

      Or better: support ACKS, The RPGPundit, Rick Stump and other indie creators and buy their systems.

      ACKS from Autarch is a good, old school, crunchy system, with good add-ons, including Science Fiction/Pulp/Fantasy versions of play. It has B/X flavor and it's inexpensive.

      Ten dollars will get you the basic version and all you really need to run a game.

  2. Yes. Used, of course, but RPG Now has new offerings. Choose PDF or print (paperback or hardcover, usually). Link is an example of what RPG Now listings are, usually: https://www.rpgnow.com/product/17003/Players-Handbook-1e?src=hottest_filtered&it=1&filters=44829_0_0_0_0
