Don't asari take on traits of other aliens?

>>49460940
Well I don't know if the game actually states this or not, but different asari do seem to basically wear makeup that makes them look like other races. A shit ton of them had turian warpaint looking stuff on, liara had freckles which I assume was that (but might have just been bioware being lazy and not putting them on other asari)
Either that or an artist fucked up

Nothing wrong with taking inspiration from history or the real world, but making the game about real life sort of defeats the point.

Eh, depends on the campaign, system, and party's wants. Sometimes, players want modern day Delta Green. Sometimes, they want a historical campaign. And sometimes, they want a what-if real world scenario.

Start a violent revolution. Decapitate the oppressors and feed their balls to the palace's dogs!

Depends how subtle it is and how it's handled.
Take a political philosophy or allegory to real life events, present it, and see how pc's react is fine.
I.e. "Here's a bunch of communist revolutionaries spouting communist rhetoric and acting in a similar manner to real life communist revolutionaries. How do you react?"
As opposed to "here's a bunch of communists. They're morally upstanding individuals who believe in equality and justice for all. And here's a bunch of dirty capitalists who are racist, violent, and regularly murder innocent people for profit while bragging about it. What do you do?"

That's allegedly why Gygax, a Catholic, put polytheism into the game, interestingly enough. He believed that putting the Christian God into his game would be tantamount to blasphemy.

Christianity does not explicitly deny the existence of other gods, it just makes it very clear that worshipping any of them as equal to or above the Y-Dog is a no-no. At one point in the bible they actually outright say "oh yeah, don't sacrifice any babies to Moloch" and then just move on. Other gods DO exist in Judeo-Christian mythology, they're just not focused on in depth.

Islam is the one that explicitly denies the existence of other gods, which was a bit of a leap, but perhaps Mohammed was worried about getting a Rome situation where the fookin pagans kept coming back to screw everything up.

>>49481218
It's the same reason neo-/v/ has just turned into crypto-/pol/. The last time /tg/ games became political it was a bunch of insane right-wing Protestants calling gaming literal witchcraft, so everyone swung to the liberal side and stayed there.

Then SJW-types get into a pissing match with /v/, so /v/ swings hard to the right, and stays there. Before that it was Jack Thompson--same thing happened except in the opposite direction.

/tg/ is sort of a slow-moving hobby, but presumably we'll get some sort of liberal shittery here sooner or later and the pendulum will swing again. It always does, it's a generational thing.

It's human nature to want to do what we're told not to.

It's worse. The censorship of the right was, for the most part, ostensibly to protect the children. I think most people agree that young children shouldn't see violent gory deaths and sex scenes.

The left's censorship is solely based on how much it offends oppressed groups (or, more frequently, the people claiming to speak on behalf of said groups).

If you want to do something like that, it would be best if you ask your players beforehand unless you want you game to look like the OP.

>Consistently theme my games to be fantastical and provide players with deep emotional connections to their friends
>Games revolve around philosophical themes as a basis of grounding them in reality
>Players only complaint is "Dude your games are way too high-scale."

So far, out of fove campaigns, only two of them have not involved the world potentially ending.

Dunno. When Liara appears briefly in the clip she doesn't have eyebrows. Potentially it's just makeup.

Steampunk isn't even punk

>>49484447
It definitely has the potential for punk considering the real life time period it's based on but a lot of Steampunk fans just jerk off to the aesthetics and "dude cogs lmao".

Frustrated workers slaving away doing dangerous and unrewarding work because the industrial revolution happened but unions weren't a thing yet could be a bretty cool game.

Dishonored is a good example for media that actually tries to explore the plight of the poor workers and even more the decadence of the leading class, even if it only is semi-steampunk.

>>49484359
Just shove that kind of stuff a little more into the background, otherwise you get people bored and confused by something the level of TES lore.

Last I checked Japan doesn't allow SJW's. I mean, they're probably there and crusading for social justice, but people just ignore their outbursts because Japan.

Most likely your only really noticing the things that oppose your beliefs, while the one that agree just don't stick out to you, making it seem like everybody is liberal.

But an allegory doesn't work that way. You can't say the French revolution was an allegory for the Russian one, or that the wars between the Protestants and Catholics are the same as the quarrels between the capitalists and communists.

That's not what allegory is though.
Allegory is redressing something that is into a different form, but keeping the core of what it is as the centerpoint.

A lot of fiction deals more with taking concepts and extrapolating them into something different.
Hell, back when the word "Science Fiction" still meant anything, most of the works in the genres were specifically about introducing new concepts that while connected to real world elements, are more of a natural development of those things, than those things themselves.

Asimov for example wrote a lot of stuff where a basic idea was taken to an extreme, or mixed with things it really shouldn't be mixed with, and made statements about these developments, not the base ideas themselves, so it wasn't really allegory.
That's also why Tolkien was quoted saying he hates allegory, despite using a TON of Christian imagery and narrative elements. Because he wasn't so much recreating those elements, than developing them into something new.


To put it simplest, we can go back to Asimov.

Allegory is writing something about how bad the 3 Laws of Robotics are.
Not allegory, is writing something about how while the 3 Laws of Robotics aren't necessarily bad, here's how they can go wrong in certain circumstances, and those circumstances should be avoided.

The 1920s had prohibition and all the religious groups that attempted to curb what they saw as indecency. Now internet activists are getting their turn. The only real question is if it's going to last for a while, how strongly it'll stick.

What are you a faggot

>>49483483
If it means a resurgence in the same Christian based moral witch hunt yeah, although we have ample experience with that. The liberal switch into the new moral guardians is coming from a slightly different angle so its to be expected some people may at first think there is something about the whole evil society thing as opposed to satanists corrupting us all. But they will realize its the same shit eventually.

To this day this annoys me.

/tg/ is a cucked board. I believe it's mostly because /tg/ is full of insufferable whiteknighting pizza-virgins, and they are the type of people who have always believed that being an "ally of women" will reward them with sex. A lot of people in this hobby are also losers and outsiders who want the "protection" and "safe spaces" that SJWs demand.

Of course this isn't universally true, but I suspect that cuckery is far more common in meatspace than online; I mean all my friends that play RPGs are racists, but even still we make up a rainbow: there's an insufferable Britbong faux-Christfag who "used to be" an atheist, a filthy Commiefornian STEMfag kike, a Turner-Diaries-tier NatSoc Texan, a homeless miscegenating Marxist Schizoid degenerate, a lolbertardian sociopath, and me. As to why IRL is more cucked, it's partially because of social expectations of "politeness and decency" that mean everyone with a non-PC opinion has to shut up, and partially because the people that congregate in meatspace are more likely to be awkward losers who have no friends outside of their RPG group.

No, really, look at your argument. It's mostly just buzzwords and phrases that do nothing to actually support your argument. You make a lot of sweeping statements, give a random allegory, and do nothing to support your own argument that things are 'cucked' beyond saying that when you're not on the internet social politeness prevents you from saying whatever you want.

This. And even if the whole state were to vote blue, if their guy that does the voting for president for them - the electoral college or whatever - votes red, there's no foul. He probably won't get re-elected, sure, but it's a system that more or less ignores the general election, which is stupid considering how many votes you can tally using modern machinery.
