There is a vidya thread, so why not have a /traditional/ gaming one? Let's discuss everything, from Monopoly to your favourite phantasy heartbreaker scrounging Kickstarter for 100$.
I suppose we can also sigh about POZ infecting once wholesome, if nerdy, male hobby. Wizards of the Poz were pozzed from the get go, so D&D had been pozzed for decades (it simply used to be toned down). But seeing GW (pronounced: JewDubs) take a plunge is disheartening. And it's perhaps a good example, since it is abundantly clear that main customer base DOES NOT WANT this, but modern capitalism is "jews give you money when you do things that please jews", not "you make products and sell them".
Ah, right, traditional gaming. Any of you play? What's your thoughts about in-game religion? Blasphemous or innocent? Personally, I think Tolkien handed it best - there's a belief, or shall I say, knowledge of the Almighty (some of the Elves hobbits from LOTR encountered talked to Valar who, in turn, knew God personally. Hard to be an atheist when you're two handshakes away from the Creator), but no worship practices are detailed. On a more practical node - offline or online? Offline is, of course, the most traditional mode, but as people grow up, move around, have families, it becomes harder to stay in touch - online can remedy that, to some extent. And looking for new people can be... disheartening, to say the least, I think tabletop clubs have the highest % of trannies among their visitors after gay bars. Actually, they might have gay bars beaten in that regard.
