Why I rarely play "modern" game nowdays anymore.
So much social baggage.
I go to either retro type indie titles or all the classic old school stuff from the 80s/90s.
You know, a time when characters were just a few well animated sprites, fun gameplay and the rest up to your imagination.
Now in order to be allowed to make a game and be recognized you have to write a dissertation on your social tendencies and opinions and include a certain percentage of that into game development. Same is true for recent D&D world building and design.
Soon we will have hard guidlines for DMs that will get them banned from communities if they dare voice their opinions on certain rules matter, their books and dices removed by court order, and all materials burned.
Weird because almost every fantastic RPG usually always has Social commentary. It might just have went through your head.
Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Arcanum, most obsidian DnD and RPG in general.
Oh yes, tomorrow DM will be arrested if they try to make Orc has 20 Str instead of base 17 like everyone else, criminalized, tortured, waterboarded.
LOL.
This kind of thinking must have part of the new wave of Satanic Panic.
