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’”.
meanwhile pf2e has lgbt iconics of every flavor and ethnicity and also has a union, far surpassing anything wizards does
lmao why do you people insist on playing 5e? pathfinder 2e is strictly superior in every moral way while still being dnd-like
2nd edition even made heroic goblins a canon thing. Power to our pickle-stealing comrades.
In fairness, they'd been doing Kobold Adventures in 1e for years. Some of the most fun adventures of the setting came out of their Kobold line.
I'm really looking forward to running a pf2e game, everything I've read looking through the books has gotten me excited to both play and GM it, lots of build options on the player side, interesting creature design with unique abilities, encounter building rules that actually work, guidance on how to use skill checks rather than just a vague "you figure it out", and support for the full level range instead of effectively starting at level 3 and ending at level 11. The learning curve from 5e to pf2e doesn't even seem to be a fraction of how steep people make it out to be.
To be fair, this racist stuff is coming from "nuTSR", an attempt to recreate TSR that was bought by WOTC when it was about to go bankrupt in the 90s. Justin LaNasa and Ernie Gygax Jr. (son of that Gygax) seem to be explicitly targeting the Gamers who feel alienated by D&D and Pathfinder being "too woke", and this is the result.

The further I go down this rabbit hole, the sadder the story gets. The whole family was destroyed as Gary's kids and former business partners scrambled for whatever they could scavenge from his legacy, his widow Gail has become justifiably paranoid and isolated because it's impossible to tell real threats from imagined ones, there have been two attempts to revive the TSR name (without WOTC who owns the name's permission) the first of which survives under a different name and the second which is currently run by a fucking neo-Nazi who is actively grifting alt right gamers.
