Actually, I’ve just been reminded of WINTERHORN by Jason Morningstar, which is a game made explicitly to educate about activism, specifically about how state actors attempt to derail it. It’s not the only route to making a successful politically aware educational game but I’d say it is one.

DSA Tabletop Caucus seems like a great idea. It wouldn't even be the weirdest caucus I've seen floated, though all of the weirder ones are politically suspect or morally objectionable, and most of them are from twitter/hell.

I'm thinking of a Ticket to Ride where the goal is to link as many cities as possible given a limited number of trains, and then you could introduce some "randomization" by having certain cities be declared priorities within x turns to prevent it from becoming a "solved" game. I wonder what you could do with Diplomacy.

God knows I was one of them. Those have already existed to extent. Everyone can moan and moo about Exalted, cWoD, monopoly and Warhammer/Rogue Trader and poo poo. You're always are going to hit them in their stomach, to quote Sinclair. What Elfgames/movies/books/media can do is refine ideas or question liberal/right wing ideology or teach tactics or coordination skills; anything beyond that is a Afterschool special that shuts people off or actual philosophy

I was thinking more of players having a fraction of the number of trains and open Route cards. Players can use each others' connections to connect cities, but they can only build a city to city connection on their own. All other mechanics remain the same more or less. Goal is getting as high a score as possible.

I suspect this'll do about as much for the OSR as Matt Furie has managed to do for Pepe's public perception, but good on him for trying.

while I'm a little doubtful as to whether it's going to make a difference, or if the author is going to have enough gumption to tell-off the right people, it's rather obvious to me that James Raggi palling around with Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin might have crossed a "don't say the quiet part loud" line

It’s in response to noted class act Venger Satanis pulling a loving “My new gender is tentacle alien” mocking Trans Visibility Week, during the lead up to Trans Day of Remembrance. Good collection of folks absolutely completely fed up with his bullshit, too. Of course Pundit’s going to the loving wall for Venger over this. Honestly it feels like the OSR is about ready to tear in half. A lot of people are just done with Zak and Pundit, Raggi has put himself out as a Peterson dude, and the end of G+ is splitting people between Discord and some poo poo called MeWe. I think we’ll see a community of people expressly pull away from the regressives pretty soon.

Is Venger the one who was banned from RPGnet for trying to put an IRL hex on someone?

Hail Satan! Lord of the Pit! King of Hell! Ruler of the Earth! Master of the Abyss! I open the unknowable doorways and touch the violet flame, drink the revitalizing blood and break the skulls of those who cross Him or His brothers. I call upon the most vicious demons of Hell to intervene. From this night forth, all trans people will be plagued by self-doubt, weakness, failure, hopelessness, hunger, pain, loss, insecurity, and envy. (I did not actually touch the violet flame, so any such feelings are unrelated) But anyway, that OSR logo is good and I'm glad they're making a statement.

I'm just baffled that even the most regressive corners of the OSR would want anything to do with Venger Satanis in the first place, the dude's not even just an rear end in a top hat, he's painfully lame on top of it.

It seems like a very naive "our community accept anyone!" that fails to recognize how some anyones turn your community into a toxic shithole.

It's been ages since I've followed any OSR stuff besides Dyson Logos maps, but I can still count on Pundit being the dirt worst in any conversation he's involved in.

The White Wolf team will be restructured and integrated directly into Paradox Interactive, and I will be temporarily managing things during this process. We are recruiting new leadership to guide White Wolf both creatively and commercially into the future, a process that has been ongoing since September.
