The real question is, how would the officials at Gen Con do if an organization of Christian gamers were to rent space to give awards to games and game creators based on Judeo-Christian values? I think I already know the answer to that question.
Let's be clear though, these awards are not some kind of "muslim award"; the people doing this are not some Arab group or something. They're ultra-leftist westerners, many of whom would probably not survive a visit to "palestine" because of their lifestyle choices.
That term was coined like 100 years before Marx was writing in response to Jews receiving citizenship in GB Also, Marx’s essay was in response to a book titled “The Jewish Question.” I don’t know where you’re getting what you’re saying
The Munk Debates are incredible, like a dinosaur that has survived from an earlier era, when people engaged in vigorous public debate. If you've never seen any, you should try a youtube search for them, they're almost always great.

Yes, but a ton of fantasy RPGs claim to be "medieval fantasy", when they mean fantasy with some very surface-level medieval trappings. The problem, as the publisher of L&D pointed out in an ad he made, is that a ton of people THINK they've played tons of "medieval fantasy", and until they play a game like L&D or BoF, they really haven't. They just played "renaissance faire fantasy".
They have _multiple_ best player and best GM awards, because apprently the world needed different awards for Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, and World of Darkness. They also have a best fan art award, but the art _has_ to be based on some Actual Play group.
Salvage Union by Leyline Press jumped out at me. They won the people's choice award for best roleplaying game at UK Games Expo this year. I think they also had/have an Ennie nomination. A solid mech game. I also know Dragon Dowser -- Hatchling Games -- I didn't make it to their booth this UKGE so I haven't seen it yet.

Autenticity & knowledge are some of your strenghts in your works and books. Too many of old DnD worlds or campaingns were sometime just bad rip offs with poor real worldims or just uninspired works. I think great to have authenthic ways to have more realistic campaigns, or just go full fantasy world with no real worlds bad copies. Keep the good work, mate.
Ok, I am fully with you about the ridicule of these conditions and awards: no politics in my hobbies, thank you, including identity politics. However for me being anti-sem*tic and being anti-z*onist is two very different things. Being anti-sem*tic is being anti j*ws, anti z*onist is being anti Isra*l state. One is about rac*sm, the other one is about politics. There is even anti-z*onist j*wish people!!! And beside, Isra*li politicians have been pionners of the w*ke stuff because since decades it was "if you critisize us you are a n*z*"" Sorry for the *, I want to trick the automated c*nsoreship.
Well, no, and obviously so. A beleif that Jews are uniquelly disqualified from the rights afforded to all other nations, which is what it means to be an Anti-Zionist, that is patently Antisemitic. Criticizing the State of Israel is no more "Antizionism" then criticizing the CCP is anti-Chinese. Put differently; if one claims to be against Zionism, but endorses slogans such as "From the River to the Sea," then they're fine with the general principles, they just don't extent their principles to Jews.
I saw your video while checking out some PHB art news. After watching it, I started sharing the information. And now the news of the withdrawal. Excellent work!
I would not measure everything with anti-semitism in mind. The vast majority of humanity does not care much about that, one way or another. Unless you have a horse in the race I really cannot see why anyone should be passionate about this.
Israel is in fact a nation state and the Jewish religion is in fact a religion. That doesn't make the Crit Awards regulations right, and they were correct to cancel it. However, the far right in the TTRPG community has been a source of anti-Semitism and hatred for far longer, have you made a video or statement on that over the course of the last decade? That wouldn't fit your polarized lens that seeks to turn everything in our world right now into political binaries, would it? You, who replied to another comment assuming I'm some sort of blue-haired leftist with six septum piercings just because I disagreed with you. Corporate leftism is having a horrible effect of media of all kinds, and it pains me deeply that I cannot find anyone online who speaks about it with any nuance. Folks online seem to often think that THEY are the ones acting against an ideological, reactionary opposition. But from outside of the fish tank, it's clear that they are just as reactionary and ideologically-motivated. Our own moment in history is surely bright red with embarrassment at its own stupidity.
Don't worry, I did my research. You have a video entitled: "Racialist Propaganda RPGs are Always Stupid" where you criticism MyFarog, etc. However, your description reads: "As are other Racialist RPGs woke people are making big sellers, like Coyote & Crow or Swordsfall's Tikor. They all fail in the same way." Examples of the other video titles on your channel: "RPGs are for Anyone, not Everyone" "Minority Representation in D&D PHB isn't for Minorities" "Usual Suspects Furious at Polish Game's Success" "Gamers With Bad Takes on Trump Attack Livestream" "Woke RPG Designers Furious at Twitter" "Wokists Officially Run Out of Things to Accuse Gamers About" "You're Racist If You Don't Buy My Game" … you get the idea. Check your own ideological motivations, there is an irony here. To the objective observer, one outside of "your" echo chamber or "theirs," you look the EXACT same as the other side. This is not me trying to own you, this is years of frustration and exhaustion with our culture bubbling up because this pro-wrestling football team binary bullshit has irreversibly infected my most deeply-loved niche. I'm simply sad and frustrated. You make me so, and so do they.
In point of fact, I've attacked the very marginal group on the "right" of the TTRPG community, the "BroSR", who are blatant and explicit anti-semites. So, YES, I have made video statements about it. But once again, reflective of greater society, the anti-semites on the TTRPG "right" are a very marginal group that aren't even successful or influential among other conservative gamers, whereas the anti-semites on the TTRPG "Left" are some of the most influential people around, like for example the guy from Critical Role who donated tens of thousands of dollars to "charities" in league with Hamas.

GenCon has been lost to Radical Left activists. I don't like it, but it's just true. You cannot reason with zealots, so if you're not part of that crowd the only sensible course of action is to stop supporting it. Instead, support socio-politically neutral conventions and make sure to give feedback that part of why they're getting your dollars instead is because they don't discriminate. Smaller cons are hungry, and will definitely care to know what does/doesn't get asses in chairs at their event.
Well, I thought so but apparently even Gencon has its limits. I'm happy to report that after I posted this video, the Crit Awards will no longer be taking place at Gencon.
Soooo sick of these professional victims with their WotC enablers, with WotC trying to outwoke the vicitms with stupid rules that have come out within the last 10 years at a slow drip. Don't even get me started on the new D&D history book that just came out. Packed with cool stuff, but read the forward and realize that everyone that played in the 70's and 80's wore white pointy hoods.
I have the Gonzo Fantasy Companion and I find it an absolute treasure trove of an ideal well. As your social encounters on the silk road. It's not specific to any game I play. I play AD&d 2E. But those tables are just a wealth of ideas. I can roll on a random table get some idea that fits your setting totally doesn't fit our game but I can get a great nugget of an idea that'll make the same theme fit within the setting. It's all great stuff. Also I'm a history buff so when I DM'd there was a little more rustic realism.
I have never been to Gen Con.. I never will now.. I am a firm believer in Israel and this is political discrimination.. let’s all wear our shirts with the Israeli flag
I don't care about this award, but anti zionism and anti semitism are not the same thing. Rabbi Rami M. Shapiro (Reformed Judaism) and Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss (Ortodox Judaism) are two rabbis that I know of that are against the conflation of zionism and judaism, for example. You may criticize this policy under the view that "foreign policy views are no reason to remove someone from the award" if you want, but it is not anti semitism.
Funny how the two guys you mentioned are an ecumenical communist and a religious fanatic, the former having no real allegiance to Judaism and the latter only opposing Israel and Zionism because it is secular, and actually dreaming of having a fully-religious exclusively-Jewish Messianic state as he believes his religion prophecies. Meanwhile, people chanting about Zionists are also violently assaulting random Jews in the west now without bothering to check their views on Zionism, proving that protesting "zionism" is just a way to be anti-semitic while trying to claim you're not.
Token Jews with fringe positions shouldn’t be used to justify antizionism as not being antisemitic. As RPGPundit points out many of the so-called Jewish antizionists aren’t really antizionist. What they really are, are anti-SECULAR-zionists. They are religious zealots who want Israel to be a theocracy, and who the Far-Left would normally oppose, except they share a common cause in wanting the destruction of modern Israel.
@@RPGPundit And yet your playing it. What isn't anti Semitism now, because that list would be way shorter. For reference the ADL has included on its list of anti Semitisms the phrase "Its Ok To Be White". I cant stand gen con, nor would I go, I'm not defending them, but you seem to find this crap everywhere, its almost as if your obsessed with identity.
@@RPGPundithe's right. Trust me. Liberals (even white ones) are racists. It's part of their power theory and idiot resistance through intersectional nonsense. The ADL is nothing but a hit squad for political interests. I think they are probably just now realizing they are hated by the right for their politics and by the left for their ethnicity. They are soon going to suffer from not being woke enough for their allies.
The rich J'ish billionaires still gave their money to universities that preached anti whyte crap. They said nothing. But now they're on the other side and the whining and gnashing of teeth is relentless. Rather interesting behavior.
@@xaxzander4633It's too bad as a group they dont wake up and see the ADL does more harm than good by far. Also that lil' Jonny Green. Blatt is nothing more than a white j'ish Al Sharpton
Nope. Zionism is the ultimate anti-colonial movement. It is an indigenous people returning to their homeland. The attacks on Jews throughout the western world prove exactly why Zionism is necessary.
@@RPGPundit I'd be very interested in the continuation of this line of thinking, in your opinion, should all displaced peoples have a similar movement? Or just in this particular case?
@@techjblue this one had a plan for how to do it. They migrated back. They bought land. They built cities in deserts, and rich farms in former badlands. They were so successful in a nearly-empty land that within 20 years waves of Arabs from neighboring lands (Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, etc) immigrated as well for the opportunity the Zionists created. Those people would later turn on the Jews because they wanted their lands, and joined a genocidal war against them. The Arabs LOST the war they started, and over decades invented the myth that they were "palestinians".
@@RPGPundit were they not only successful with huge restorative funding for this effort? Subsidizing their last 70 years of expansion using the justification that you likely personally align with. (Because I'm not a left wing cultist I won't discount the significance of historical record, but it's also not a justification for the people that it's going to displace.) I would argue, yes, the people who you take issue with being called Palestinians are being displaced. The Israeli government is blocking their access to resources, they have literally settlements in these contested lands, and they push farther every year. I'm not a Islamic insurgent supporter, but can you deny that the common descent people are being subjected to wholesale slaughter? Who are these people, and where do they belong?
@@techjblue in the first place, all of their expansion, as you put it, has been as a consequence of a series of attempted Wars of genocide against them. Wars of the Arabs lost, and that left Israel with having to occupy territory.
I only review books that are sent to me. I've been gaming for close to 4 decades, and I have played all kinds of games. Games have to be pretty obscure for me not to know them, as a rule.
Jewish ppl all over the world are being attacked and harassed and Gen Con …. Attacks Zionism, which most Jewish people identify as.. hmm, who who else hates Zionism?? Hamas

I cant stand gen con, nor would I go, I'm not defending them, but you seem to find this crap everywhere, its almost as if your obsessed with identity.
@@RPGPundithe's right. Trust me. Liberals (even white ones) are racists. It's part of their power theory and idiot resistance through intersectional nonsense. The ADL is nothing but a hit squad for political interests. I think they are probably just now realizing they are hated by the right for their politics and by the left for their ethnicity. They are soon going to suffer from not being woke enough for their allies.
The rich J'ish billionaires still gave their money to universities that preached anti whyte crap. They said nothing. But now they're on the other side and the whining and gnashing of teeth is relentless. Rather interesting behavior.
@@xaxzander4633It's too bad as a group they dont wake up and see the ADL does more harm than good by far. Also that lil' Jonny Green. Blatt is nothing more than a white j'ish Al Sharpton
Blatantly ahistorical understanding of Zionism for a history guy 🙄
Nope. Zionism is the ultimate anti-colonial movement. It is an indigenous people returning to their homeland. The attacks on Jews throughout the western world prove exactly why Zionism is necessary.
@@RPGPundit I'd be very interested in the continuation of this line of thinking, in your opinion, should all displaced peoples have a similar movement? Or just in this particular case?
@@techjblue this one had a plan for how to do it. They migrated back. They bought land. They built cities in deserts, and rich farms in former badlands. They were so successful in a nearly-empty land that within 20 years waves of Arabs from neighboring lands (Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, etc) immigrated as well for the opportunity the Zionists created. Those people would later turn on the Jews because they wanted their lands, and joined a genocidal war against them. The Arabs LOST the war they started, and over decades invented the myth that they were "palestinians".
@@RPGPundit were they not only successful with huge restorative funding for this effort? Subsidizing their last 70 years of expansion using the justification that you likely personally align with. (Because I'm not a left wing cultist I won't discount the significance of historical record, but it's also not a justification for the people that it's going to displace.) I would argue, yes, the people who you take issue with being called Palestinians are being displaced. The Israeli government is blocking their access to resources, they have literally settlements in these contested lands, and they push farther every year. I'm not a Islamic insurgent supporter, but can you deny that the common descent people are being subjected to wholesale slaughter? Who are these people, and where do they belong?
@@techjblue in the first place, all of their expansion, as you put it, has been as a consequence of a series of attempted Wars of genocide against them. Wars of the Arabs lost, and that left Israel with having to occupy territory.
The pundit cries out in pain as he strikes you.
Bahaha
Hmmm. I don't believe that's the quote.. But considering we're on YT it should be PC enough. Good on you.👍
Gencon beginning its redemption arc? Nah, wishful thinking, but a step in the right direction.
I highly doubt you look at very many products outside of your sphere of games, given your rant vs review ratio.
I highly doubt you do. 🥱
I only review books that are sent to me. I've been gaming for close to 4 decades, and I have played all kinds of games. Games have to be pretty obscure for me not to know them, as a rule.
When did they say they are for hamas?
It's very obviously implied.
Think on this.. why single out Israel and not mention who they are against?? Why isn’t Gen Con taking a stand on terrorism or against anti semitism?
Jewish ppl all over the world are being attacked and harassed and Gen Con …. Attacks Zionism, which most Jewish people identify as.. hmm, who who else hates Zionism?? Hamas
@@josephquesnel1737 hamas doesn't play dnd.
@@mangacomics1601 they would be welcome at Gen Con, but Israel not

Heil Israel. 😂
