Its gotten a lot better, it used to all Toshimos, now its really just him who's always aggroposting. This isn't necessarily an endorsement, but its no longer my pick for 'worst thread on the forums'.

Also lol at the cedh guy... generally, but also for agreeing with Toshimo.

but, uh... well, there it is

Over the last couple of years I've taken up a little bit of an interest in board games and TTRPGs and if there's one thing I've learned from reading Trad Games it's that board games are the most important thing in the entire world and if you enjoy the wrong one or enjoy the right one in the wrong way then you are doing real world harm and neither god nor man can forgive you of your sins.

You basically lose the right to tut tut or act morally superior about crap when you actively support them as your main hobby IMO.

criticizing them is entirely different and fine obviously.

I'm sure I've said this before, but there should be a Magic tournament where you can't bring real legit cards, you have to make your own bootleg ones. They have to have official rules of some real card on them, but you have to make them yourself in some way, whether that be like printing off scans with an inkjet printer or whatever.

Also, the player with the most obviously bootleg cards should get some kind of minor gameplay advantage. The guy who ran off his cards at Kinkos can afford to have to play a little harder against the guy whose cards are all colored markers on hand-torn cardboard from a box of Night Train.

It is balls out repulsive to say "good riddance" to a human being who died of literal cancer for undermining labor in service of capital or whatever psychotic thing he said and at the same time spend multiple hours per day writing about, thinking about, spending money on, promoting, theorycrafting for their biggest game as if you're not exactly as morally culpable for all the same poo poo. Especially since it is plainly obvious that there isn't really a fundamental moral objection to whatever labor aspect there supposedly is, Toshimo is mad about Sheldon's opinions on Commander and is upset that Sheldon was generally well liked in the community and that Toshimo don't get to dictate how the format goes instead.

The fact that multiple people respond to him, including the mod who probed him, with "drat Toshimo, you're so right all the time, I agree with you so much, but if you could just be a little more polite about your nutjob derangement, which btw I agree with the sentiment of, just want to make that clear" is vexing to me

it's truly bizarre, I thought it was some FATAL stuff but I looked at the game and its just some dark fantasy with some horny figurines.

you also get a lot of "additionally the game is a mechanical mess for these reasons I overheard once, so why would you play it unless you were a pervert"

if something is morally bad it is also mechanically bad and vice versa in tg

in fairness this is going back years but the TG drama flashpoint i remember was Tragedy Looper and multiple people having to chime in, every time the game came up, that they would never play it because it had an anime artstyle. tragedy looper was made in Japan



apparently this was actually a consistent enough complaint among TG players at large that the game had to launch a new version of the game, with western-style art

Yeah the clique of weirdos that dominates the boardgame threads (and the moderators that are just kinda cool with them) are one of the biggest missing stairs left on the website imo.
