What RPG subreddit showed us

 Hi there.  Still in Ukraine, still alive.  An interesting story is going on in the subreddit dedicated to tabletop roleplaying games. The moderators' team decided to introduce a rule forbidding to talk about the content by Zak S.  Zak is my favourite RPG author.  Zak's blog is a source of cool facts about art, history, and fantasy, written in his unique style.  Also, Zak is the victim of a harassment campaign - been one for over a decade.  So when you speak about the victim of harassment, the harassers activate and come in to harass you, as well - because that's how they operate.  Which is not pleasant for the moderators who have to deal with this shit. It's part of their job, but I get it - cutting up dead bodies used to be part of my job, and I didn't enjoy it.  So they published this new rule.  And the harassers came in to celebrate.  Their comments included things like "finally you did something to deal with the fascistic users", "fuck the fuckin

This is Cam Banks.

 This is Cam Banks.  Cam Banks worked on some stuff that I cannot criticize because, frankly, I never tried playing it. Partially it was because of the fans of Banks's stuff who tried to explain to me why it was so good, and failed miserably.  Even though I would try everything Marvel-related back in the day,  I still don't know how this one is supposed to work.      According to wikipedia, his Marvel game was discontinued because it didn't sell well enough. Which happens a lot, and doesn't say anything about Cam Banks as a person.  What does say something about him as a person, however, is this.  Spending two years trying to find something  that Zak Smith did wrong and failing sounds like fun, I guess?    Cam Banks posted it on social networks, on Facebook and on Twitter .  On both, comments from people unauthorized by Cam Banks are disabled, so I guess he doesn't want to talk about it.  However, the are some comments on Facebook page that either were posted befor

This is Brandon Leon-Gambetta

 This guy.  According to his site, where I took this picture, Brandon Leon-Gambetta is a Peruvian-American game designer and tabletop media creator known for his work on Pasión de las Pasiones, the Stop, Hack, & Roll Network of podcasts, and pushing for increasing the voice of marginalized people in the ttrpg industry. Cool.  This is a game by Brandon Leon-Gambetta, advertised on the same site.  I'm not a fan of Latino telenovelas. I don't know if it's good or bad. It's available through Magpie Games, Magpie Games also are making this game:  And managed to gather more than 9 millions dollars on Kickstarter for it. Doesn't feel like my kind of game, but Avatar the Last Airbender is undoubtedly cool.  And this is Zak Smith.                                     "Most Accurate Self-Portrait To Date", Zak Smith                                              Courtesy of Fredericks & Freiser, NY   Zak has been harassed online for years. And it was not bec
