>A group of designers, publishers and editors have come together to form New Agenda Publishing, a publishing cooperative/consortium made up of Misha Bushyager, designer for Chill: Save and Lovecraftesque as well as being an editor of the award winning #FEMINISM microgame collection, Eloy Lasanta, the ENnie Award winning publisher of Third Eye Games, and designer and publisher Jerry Grayson of Khepera Publishing.
>From their new website, their mission statement is:
>"New Agenda Publishing is a consortium dedicated to promoting diversity in the RPG community through our hiring and choices. We want to amplify underrepresented voices and help them tell new stories from their perspective. We want to bring more people of color and especially women of color to the table and we think the best way to do that is by hiring them to help us create the games and worlds they want to play in."
>No announcements regarding what games will be released through this new imprint, or if any of the existing game lines already produced by the members will move to this new home.
The comments have caused Morrus to lock the thread, and update the site's rules enforcing inclusivity

Nathaniel Nelson
"Diversity" is a fine gimmick to market with, or even genuine principle to adhere too, but the core mission of a game publisher has to me making good games or the games won't be good and no one will care.
This looks like promoting "diversity" to the core mission right from the start.
Charles Clark
if they want to make games let them, if they are good games i'll play them, if they are shit games i will laugh at them
Logan Morgan
That's demonstrably false; as a political movement this sort of "diversity" does not need to produce quality content, but merely pose themselves morally in a progressive manner, call out any of their opposition as precisely the reason they should have support, and all the elder statesman and larger companies (see: Wizards of the Coast) will bend the knee either for profit or because if they don't, they'll be Other'd and labeled Nazis.
I guarantee you could go search Twitter and some WotC staff are slobbering over themselves right now.

EXACTLY!
Which is why it's super-duper urgent that OP repost this three or five times over the weekend. Otherwise we would be missing vital opportunities to have more /pol/ beachhead threads on Veeky Forums!
Hudson Foster
Cool, let me know if they make some good games. Until then, I don't care.
Michael James
OH, YOU'RE GONNA CARE!
YOU'RE GONNA CARE SO MUCH
OP is gonna be right here all weekend making sure you know that some literally-whos are posting THINGS on the INTERNET that include the word DIVERSE so we all hate them right /pol/?
Camden Ortiz
Founding a game company and staging shame or entryism based attacks on an existing one are different things with different practical concerns. Dont average them all together into a faceless blob called "enemy action".

Are you...triggered?
Nathaniel Walker
But this is a groundbreaking TTRPG announcement? Do you think PoC establishing a space in the RPG community is inherently political? Don't you think that shows your personal and cultural bias?
Isaac Reyes

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EVEN FIND THESE? Do you have a google alert for certain keywords to actively get mad?
Parker James
I have no idea who these people or their games are. Why should I give a single shit about this?
Adam Smith
Look /pol/, we won't care until you actually make some games that aren't dogshit.
Alexander Lewis
Oh boy, more politics getting shoved down our throat. And I thought that MTG's fluff had gotten bad.
You're off the mark, study your behavior and your inherent biases. I am glad you push back against racist elements in the community but you need to examine yourself as well
Ryder Kelly
Eloy Lasanta is actually pretty good, I hope this produces more stuff like his AMP
Leo Jackson
That doesn't even make sense as a retort.
James Gray
The last thing anyone wants is a publisher of circlejerking ideologues. I expect them to put out three or four 'experimental' games that focus on inter-sectional issues and are ultimately indecipherable as an actual tabletop experience.
It'll ride its hype train and virtue signaling wave to early success, but then flame out and shutter its doors while decrying an industry that made them unsuccessful.
Mason Reed
"Racist, Nazi white men and the inherently oppressive patriarchal power structure of the RPG industry" is what will get blamed for their failure, natch.
But never fear, once they've failed in the marketplace WOTC or some other large RPG company will hire them out of pit-- err, as diversity consultants to improve their marketing to the community of color.
Henry Young
They could just hire on merit instead of discriminating. Racist cunts.

actually sjws feed off encouraging others to destroy their familial and friendly connections for even the slightest missrepresentation of the party line, and then when they have no one to turn to but their abuser that abuser uses its power to enforce obedience
Isaac Thompson
They need the attention of others to be able to create enough controversy to do that
Owen Ward
It does, you're just a fucking idiot that doesn't get it. Assuming you're the original poster too, nice use of extravagant verbosity, you fucking faggot.
Luis Carter
>the best they have is goddamn beer pong Fucking /pol/ normies.
Jonathan King
they already have it in other industries and have a long history of doing this to nerd places. I know you'll roast me for this because who fucking cares about it but just think about the size of the place and what you have to do to destroy it. TV tropes was infiltrated over 5 years ago and systematically destroyed by white washing all uncomfortable content for not virtue signalling on the right issues. I'm sorry I wished it works but you cant ignore a cult to death.
Dominic Perry
They use reddit, which should tell you everything you need to know
Leo Gonzalez
its beer pong with roleplaying

It's a thread about game designers and RPG publishers, you dumbass. It's totally within the remit of Veeky Forums.
Brandon Ortiz
The rest of that guy's work is SUPER not worksafe.
Lucas Ortiz
easy. they want to damage pol and their movement. They might have even started a thread like this specifically to do so. insurgents in their ranks have leaked leftypol and other anti pol groups working among the mods of Veeky Forums. they shill relentlessly on the board, banning key topics and using the boards divisive nature to spread arguements and keep productive discussion to a minimum, while using bleed over to mock and ridicule and otherwise pervert the board even more than it was in the eyes of others.
Make no mistake, this is the truth. They added meme flags to pol to (unsuccessfully) cause even more divisiveness and this was a known thing. The only reason pol still exists is becuase if it didn't exist, mods would not be able to stop the thousands of users who go there from jumping ship to somewhere they cant touch.
Every thread like this will be allowed to reach autosage except for every once in a while, once the boards hatred reaches its peak and then the mods will = gods and vindicate your irritated Pov, never one the wiser that the entire point is to subvert your opinion by interrupting your life with politics in an annoying fashion to make you embittered to any opinions on the right side of politics.
Blake Garcia
It's especially funny since his image is a textbook description of radicalization, while his comment shows he's obviously a victim of it Sure, let's pretend anyone cares about the games this company will put out and that no one had any ulterior motive in making this thread

see this shit? this is all they have to say, not even a lick of a counter arguement. just quickly move on, bury it in posts. they dont want you to know this is for real. wheres the benefit? who needs a benefit. they do it for hotpockets. the benefit is being a troll and you think that somehow that sounds impluasible? get wrecked kike. being a jew is a choice

>Sure, let's pretend you know the "ulterior motives" of all the anons posting on this board, you super-psychic, you.

A post that doesn't say anything about their games and only talks about their social justice bent. >Anyone who disagrees with me must be my enemy! This is like the #1 symptom of radicalization. Seriously look it up, I hope it makes you realize just how deep far right has its hooks in you.

Anthony Sanders
Hi there I just wanted to weigh in with my thoughts on this matter.
If this NAP are here to get more people in gaming, great. It means I will have more people to game with amongst the general populace and maybe will offer new experiences at the table.
If you don't like what they're doing, that's fine. You don't have to buy any of their products, and TTRPGs are all in your head. Just imagine the gaming world you want to imagine, there's nothing stopping you from ignoring everything the NAP is doing.
If you like this, great. If you don't, no worries. Why angery reaccs?
