CW the racist/transphobic parts

The suit also cites documentation saying “a ‘negro’ race is de-scribed as a ‘Subrace’ in the game and as having ‘average’ intelligence with a maximum intelli-gence rating of 9, while the ‘norse’ race has a minimum intelligence rating of 13.”

“The game also refers to the Black Lives Matter movement as ‘radical’”, it continues, while adding “Star Frontiers New Genesis also contains offensive transphobic material: it includes a specific gender option for the characters ‘Male/Female no bonuses, and no Trans’”.

    It's probably better but honestly there isn't much in it. WotC actually managed to make some things more bigoted when they took over. I generally find the 2E Forgotten Realms stuff more palatable than the stuff that came after, mostly because Ed Greenwood had more input and he is a complete fucking weirdo who also happens to be progressive.

      As I said, I'm not the most familiar with WotC's bs, but they seem to have gotten enough backlash finally that they actually have to try and change things, so maybe thats why I made the assumption about WotC.
