D&D is dead, long live TTRPGs! aka OSR 1.1

 Greetings, my Fishes!

Tis I, the Imperator Offensiveness MaXXXimVs!

The FIST of the Divine Emperor Gaius...!

Most of the time you hear from my storyteller buddy Maxx Feral but I handle the web design, graphic design, try to solicit 3rd party help, have the good software... 

I've re-written many of my personal scripts so Maxx could upload them in the "Attack of the Robot Barbarians" blog and keep Ko-Fi support since not X rated versus MY edits.. I'm doing some work for the Orange Sun/Far Tomorrows project and on the side my comics, pulp novels and the next TTRPG free XXX product of mine coming soon...Whew...

Anyways, the net is a-buzz with the OSR 1.1  If it was "Testing the Waters" they threw a match into an open tub full of gasoline...!    90% against, even the "Woke" invader / grifter content producers are sh-tting bricks!

Here's the sanest take on this:

We have no affiliation with "Dungeon Craft", just are fans.

As it looks like this is legit, obviously even the PG-R rated Orange Sun and Far Tomorrows will steer clear of OSR period.  We are 'outsiders' and 'indies' so would be first on the list for them to take everything from us if we were foolish enough to sign to 1.1 or to harass us with lawyers if we clung to 1.0, especially with my dealing with Cancel attempts from the Zwei-hander people and some extreme trolls.

Big F-cking deal!

We are going full steam ahead!

Let me say - the TTRPG is not just a "Game" that might be written by one person or sold by another.  Oh, it is that also.  But it is not.

A TTRPG is a "State of Mind" you enter and share with others hopefully!  It gives the same primal instinct thrill as when the Shaman told the tribe's tales and danced and the hunters talked of how the hunt would be.

Every old Grognard or first gen "Munchkin" has thought way too much about the rules, the world, the alternatives to the TTRPG hobby.  Many of us have gone "What if?" through the years.  Maxx and Me have been working on the design of this world but had given up on making NEW rules sets thanks to OSR.  Why ask potential buyers to memorize a whole new set of rules?  However now, it will be Hasbro's G-rated SLUDGE that they have 3 "Sensitivity Readers" go over to make sure no one no where is offended by them...  I'd not EVER want to buy or play something produced by that so why should I support it in any way, that includes "Stealing" aka insisting I can do OSR 1.0 and waiting for the lawyers though the threat of suits can disrupt payment processors and webhosts - even Dreamhost would take down a real DMCA backed by a real lawyer planning to go to court.  For a day, then put it back up when a counter-DMCA was filed - if it was a real complaint versus a Pirate Bay 2.0 thing.

But when you steal something, you argue its VALUE.

So -with all the producers going OSR holdout and waiting for lawsuits, why do I dare consider new rules?

Well you can't copyright or trademark a games rules system.  Only, maybe, the expression and of course copyrighted property...  Oh, wait, D&D is a rip-off of Jack Vance, Robert E Howard and VERY heavily TOlkien.  There's almost NOTHING original in that Night Hag's Cauldron...!  Even the "Unique" monsters are ChinaSaurs - crude, cheap "Dinosaur" figures made in the Walled City of Kowloon in tiny factories next to Brothels next to Schools next to Opium Dens...  The whole game system and lore is a lawsuit magnet for what little isn't ancient folklore.  Once someone takes them to court for real with a lawyer ready to do battle they'll lose.  The problem is challenging such things in court takes too much time and money.  And again argues the value.

So we'll make our OWN.

Now if you are familiar with "The Old Dragon Game" to use a key-word - you won't find our rules a hassle.  We are going to juggle some ability scores but it'll make sense when you think of it.  And add a stat or two.  BUT we'll do our best to compress the mechanics into a few pages.  Serious!  AND we won't be CopyWRONG trolls.  You'll be able to use the rules, no need to pay us!

The collection of critical, stats, die rolls, etc. can be simplified very easily.  I'm going to shuffle them a bit, not fearful of Hasbro but rather would like to improve a bit.  Some stats need to bleed into others.  Its nothing anyone familiar with the core game would be confused over and a new one diving in wouldn't have trouble going back to the original.

Again, in a way I'm GLAD this is happening.

I was going to make stats using OSR based on 2.0 release of AD&D - but worried people from the 3.5 era (good!) and (aaarrrggg!) 4 and (Gaaahhhh!!!) 5 era would freak out.  The woke I don't care about but new players/customers?  I do care about those.

So if its my own simple rules, great.

And again, in the air, but if I think I make something good I'll "Open Source" it.

That means you couldn't copy the guidebooks and our art, but if you said "Orange Sun Rules" - whoops better make it "Far Tomorrows Rules" (FTR) or I WOULD get sued - remember Gary Gygax's post TSR projects?  If you used those rules in your own project, I'd be flattered.  Couldn't PAY you but wouldn't charge and if you did something we hated (a WOKE version by the Zwei-hander people!?) well free speech, free press.  Even those Wokardz I'd let them do it - if say GDW gets covetous (they use Warhammer Fantasy Role Play base) and they need to make $ and use something.  A hyper politically correct but fake Grimdark parody?  Fine! 

So hang tight people!

We are shifting gears just a little but luckily the last part was puppeting all the characters and monsters to an RPG system.  I'm going to seek some review help so the launched ship doesn't sink but I can easily think of a new system and approximate scores.  A very SIMPLE one that fits in a few pages and echoes "The classics" though is its own.

Magna Determinato!

You will not be missed...

 

To the "Woke" attempting to ruin gaming - FUCK OFF

"You will NOT be missed" 

---to paraphrase your triumphant banishment/banning to any not agreeing with your treacly snowflake diatribes of garbage declaring how you are going to file off the rough edges and focus on 'inclusion' so much any coherent game, gameplay, enjoyment or appeal is going to be a shadow of itself and anyone disagreeing with you is a 'hater'...

Your LIES have been exposed - no longer just "One Man's Opinion" you are a fake movement created by elites to distract attention from real issues; Unfair tax breaks to the wealthy, jobs overseas and illegals hired, corrupt politicians and no media just entertainment...

There never really was any problem with Video Games, Comic Books and TTRPGs.  Especially the latter.  They reflected society which was on a progressive bent but especially the Role Playing Game market was the most open the most "Liberal".  This "Social Justice" flood of fecal lies has done no good and likely benefitted racists far more than any old school "Boys in the Hood" group ever could.

The "Anti-Woke" gaming community is NOT racist, sexist or demanding of any political, religious...lifestyle or whatever stance.  We reject your "Divide and conquer" strategy.  You just want to keep people arguing to distract from real political issues.  Having pathetic adult babies break one set of toys - the hobbies many of us sheltered in - then turning the backlash into an issue is what you are doing.

Anti-Woke gaming will have none of it.  Anyone is welcome to play or buy our products but we will not censor or curtail our vision.  Likewise we might even include MORE of the "Problematic" stuff - not to send any negative message but tell the LIARS to fuck off and MELT their pathetic snowflakes who might believe their lies.

To the SNOWFLAKES - the people who actually believe the "Social Justice" LIE...

Uh - ever hear of a term; "useful IDIOTS"?  

That's what you are.  You are NOT going to change the world.  Likely you'll bleat with a 'fashionably radical' crowd and make soemone else rich then be cast aside and forgotten.  Perhaps you'll be baited to do criminal acts and then get no legal help or assistance after punishment if caught.  Later your actions now could haunt you - after your parents are gone and not able to bail you out again and your 'gender studies' degree hasn't even prepared you to work at Starbucks.

This world has 1,000,001 major problems and even in good times it always had.

Orcs, Dark Elves, Chicks in Chain-mail bikinis, Damsels in Distress in ROLE-playing GAMES - and comic books, video games - are NOT on the list.  In being an adult baby and trying to break other's toys you hit the few otherwise functional and normal adult males who might have tolerated you and helped you without being blood relatives or paid care providers.  You only hurt your 'cause' doing this.

I suggest fucking off to a real counselor who doesn't send you to TTRPGs as "Cheap Therapy" and find someone who can help you handle LIFE.  And I suggest finding someone who'll teach you the basic rules of respect to others since you demand so much yourself.  You aren't going to change the world trying to break another's toys - you'll just end up in a situation where your parents, teacher, counselor can't protect you and a lot of people want to smack you.  This isn't a "specific threat" or any sort of direct threat from me - it's an assurance of what said behavior can bring and your type can't even handle negative comments on the internet.

The TTRPG world is a very rich, diverse world already and decades ahead of the social curve.  It'll always be ready to explore new horizons and options - but forcing false "Tolerance" and "Diversity" will only lead to backlash.  Indeed this anti-woke is part of it - but hopefully to scare away before things flip and the corporate puppet masters make equally bland stuff with a 'right wing racist' face to keep "Divide and Conquer" going.

Go and find a cause, a real world cause, even if it's not "Fashionably Radical"

Leave other's hobbies (TTRPG, Video Games, Comic Books...) ALONE - you do no good.

You will not be missed.

Going forward I'm going to make this game more about a neat new revision for TTRPGS especially "The Core" - assuming an ADULT audience that can handle sexual, racial, social issues not as 'causes' but as they blend into the RPG world in a new and flexible visions.  Due to the "Social Justice Warrior" assault - again "Social Engineering" by Wall-Street as a distraction not a real movement -

 I'm going to deliberately include TONS of naughty stuff just to make the "Woke" scream - stuff that I might not have been so extreme with if they weren't around.  Not as bad as "F.A.T.A.L." but a bit here and there - no real racist or sexist message intended just "Hey, WOKE, you tried to fix what ain't broken, now you have MORE chicks in chainmail, slavegirls, drooling monsters that resemble old stereotypes and the hobby is R rated when it had been G-rated...Nice going, DORKUS!"

But - in doing so I'll try to make things more FUN than just an 'anti-woke' response!

------------------------

Any other TTRPG designers?  Video Game, Comic books?

Any creative sick of the shadow censorship this modern "Woke", formerly known as "Political Correctness" has?  Worse than Big Brother or Stalin, you worry someone somewhere will be "Offended" and shriek for censorship?  You don't do any good to anyone by catering to them.

Just reject the narrative...  It is NOT "Left V Right" nor "Racist v Non-Racist" and all the garbage.  It's lies.  A distraction.  The "Woke" are "useful Idiots" bleating and a few con-artists.

You are welcome to use these and pass them around - on websites and on and in products-

Only conditions:

1 - you are opposed to censorship and for free speech, press and market

2 - you won't bend the knee to complainers nor save the most basic of decency self censor in fear

3 - you'll do your reasonable effort to support others in free speech, press, market regardless of 

any real 'politics' - in short I'd even be for "The Woke" making their own games, etc.

just I will NOT cater to them in mine.

The Far Tomorrow products and works of associated writers and artists are open to ALL - unlike the "Woke" trying to ruin the hobbies by being vicious, hateful, bigoted and inclusive...  That's what they accuse us of being but they should look in the mirror.  We just know the evils of censorship by bending the knee in fear of vocal liars and delusional followers.  It was "The Satanic Panic" of the 80s - and note "Divide and Conquer"...?  While Geraldo and Chick got parents to burn their kids D&D books and Grandparents had to watch kids for fear of any Day-Care center the S&L Scandal blew through with a micro fraction of anyone getting in trouble.  Real Satanists and nutbags who maybe played D&D killed a FEW people but a good portion of our country's wealth was STOLEN - this was a distraction.  Also the news probably made Satanism more popular than ever in history...

Rationis terminus

 Rationis terminus 

This project is opposed to the "Woke" - I entertain NONE of their LIES.  They are not about any sort of social progress, they are a Nihilst CULT that's being promoted as "Useful Idiots" by the same raiders who sent jobs to China, raided long term companies to steal pensions and saddle them with debt, turned our glorious malls into "liminal space" nightmare fuel, savaged retail and are now trying to ruin the few industries not owned by "Corporate America" 100%.  Thus we will NOT "Bend the Knee" or cater to these filthy liars. Matter of fact we will likely add extreme and anti-woke content just to piss them off, but not meaning any real message of true intolerance.

I'm "left" myself - but have NOTHING to do with these "Hipsters of Hate"

So - thus these messages.  

To oppose "Social Justice Warriors" you are NOT "Racist", "Sexist" or whatever lies the snowflakes say.  You are for FREE SPEECH, Free Expression, free thought and have the brains to tell that while the world has a million and one problems a bunch of legacy Dark Elves, Orcs and Sexy ladies are NOT in that...

First one is for the Orange Sun/Far Tomorrows project.

After ones free to use for any TTRPG, Video Game, Comic Book or other project that wants to draw the line.  NO to censorship.  NO to paying extortionists wrapped in the SKIN of dead hippies they dug up.  NO to fake politics ruining a hobby so some elite hedge fund CEOs can use it to burn and turn.

The Woke are NOTHING - just "useful idiots" - Fashionable FAKE radicals without a CLUE and the LAST people to be in your cause, legal or otherwise.

---Free to use---to anti-woke---

no strings but a link to this blog and upcoming web page would be greatly appreciated!

---More to come soon!

optimus dies!
