R Talsorian Games and Mike Pondsmith, creators of the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG, have some things to say re current events and cyberpunk.

Some choice quotes:
"We don’t just condemn racism. We despise it."

"When power is abused, people have the right and, in fact, the duty to stand up, protest that abuse, and demand accountability."

"Cyberpunk was a warning, not an aspiration"

You know, if you thought the game and the genre should entail something else.

I would post a link to the statement on the R Talsorian website, but since the angry gamerboys don't like me, I cant. You have to cut-and-paste the link instead :)

I think this should be restated forever.

Here is something that may be worth checking out too. There is a charity-bundle on itch.io where if you donate 5 bucks you get a massive bunch of stuff - games, tabletop rpgs, game assets, some music...

It's the creators themselves that wanted to do this, and it's over 1400 items currently. Money goes 100% to charity, split 50/50 between the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund.

I'm unsure if forum rules allow posting links to other game sites like that, so you can find it yourselves. It's called "Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality".

as for the charity collection, now it's over 1500 items from 1198 creators, and they have collected 4.2 million USD.

edit re moderation: i approve :)

edit again: 4.6 million now. getting close to the goal now...
