Venger Satanis 4 Realz

 

Last night, I decided to make an important change in my life.  

Going forward, I'd like for everyone to address and refer to me as Venger Satanis 4 Realz.

Alternatively, I'd be happy with a shortened version if you're in a hurry, such as VS4Rz.

This is part brand management and part identification.  Starting today, I identify as Venger Satanis 4 Realz, so that's simply what you should call me.

Thanks for your support, everyone!

p.s. Don't forget that VENGER CON is happening in Madison, WI this July (regardless of how many radical-leftists "REEeee" about it).  

Also, Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows has been on DriveThruRPG as a PDF for a couple weeks now.  Check it out if you like eldritch, gonzo, science-fantasy, post-apocalyptic campaign settings, adventures, and megadungeons with a humorous, sleazy, grindhouse/exploitation, pop-culture twist.

TTRPGs for Child Abuse in Texas!

 

Few things makes me as disgusted and angry as abusing children, which is why I'm particularly sickened by all the "game designers" supporting this.

Texas is trying to protect kids from genital mutilation, chemical castration, and irreversible puberty blockers.  Parents trying to "trans" their kids is wrong and immoral.  It should be illegal.

If a child isn't old enough to choose their own bedtime, they aren't old enough to make serious medical decisions that will affect their entire life.  There's a reason that suicide rates among transgender individuals is sky-high!

The itch.io platform should be ashamed of itself.  Funding child abuse should never be tolerated! 

Protect our kids, support the Texas law, and send these radical-leftists and their equally unhinged gender ideology back to the landfill of disastrous ideas where they belong (right next to Communism).

Do what you can to speak up and fight back...

The Pod-People

 

They look just like us.  Sometimes, when we're talking about RPGs or the weather, they sound like us, too.  

But make no mistake, leftoids aren't ordinary people.  They've been absorbed into the radical-left hivemind.  They're not empathetic, they're not inclusive, they don't want equality or meritocracy, and if you cross their narrative or criticize their agenda, faceless drones will come out of the woodwork to destroy you, cancel you, deplatform you, defund you, get you banned, and your books burned.

I was told just a day ago that I'm not welcome to run Cha'alt or anything else at Misty Mountain Games (my "friendly" local game store), and that they don't even want Cha'alt on their shelves because it, and myself, apparently, aren't "family friendly" and "inclusive" enough for their establishment.

I made a video about it yesterday.  Several comments pointed out the obvious hypocrisy.  If a game store is going to carry Warhammer, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire, and Lamentations of the Flame Princess, (and years ago the Book of Erotic Fantasy and Book of Vile Darkness) then to single Cha'alt out strikes me as blatantly political.

I'm a moderate conservative (formerly classical liberal) who isn't afraid to call-out woke nonsense, gender ideology child abuse and CRT taught to children, drag queen story hour in public libraries, bad fiscal, domestic, and foreign policy from our politicians, and anti-science mandates / lockdowns handed down from our elite ruling class.  But I've been called a "nazi" by those on the left for years.  And anyone who associates me is similarly smeared.  

But if I stop, fall in line, and conform, they might - just might - leave me alone.  That's damn decent of them.  Sarcasm aside, I think I'd rather tell them to fuck off!

Whatever, I'm over it already.  This blog post isn't to rail against MMG, but to warn everyone out there.  We can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  The writing's on the wall.  Pendulums swing one way, then the other.  That's how things go, despite their dreams of endless revolution.  While the woke are losing ground, they're still dangerous, still vicious, still pod-people.  

Now is not the time to plan the homecoming celebration of common sense and traditional values.  We keep fighting, keep pushing back, keep standing up for what's good and true.  The great silent majority rarely speaks up... unless it's absolutely necessary.  Well, look at the state of things!  It's beyond necessary.  Think of all the suffering that could have been avoided if we were gatekeeping back in 2014.

If we don't crush the woke social justice fanatics, there won't be a space for us.  Our own basements will be the only place we can game.  If they could, they'd forcibly remove us from social media, brick & mortar stores, and virtual table platforms - look what's happening on Discord (click to watch video).

Happy hump-day,

p.s.  I'm about to add specific games to the VENGER CON schedule.  If you want to attend my old-school, OSR, and traditional RPG convention in Madison, WI this July, grab your tickets here!  Attendance is limited to 100 people, 18+. 

Disinvited From TSR Con

 

I'm going to try and keep this short because it's all so weird, nonsensical, and kind of pointless.

Ok, after Gary Con's decision to go full-mask this year I withdrew my attendance while seeking to run games at TSR Con happening at the exact same time.  

I tried my best to ignore the feud between Justin LaNasa and several OSR folks so I could simply focus on a gaming convention without a face diaper.  For those curious, I explain how ruinous masks are at a gaming convention here.

Anyway, I noticed that a dozen or more of my posts on Tenkar's Facebook group had a suspicious spam comment directly below.  Those replies were identical - doxxing Tenkar from some fake name / account.  When asking about it, several people strongly suggested Justin LaNasa behind it.

I asked LaNasa about it in a FB direct message, hoped it wasn't him, but if it was, telling him that kind of thing accomplishes nothing, and that I really don't want to be caught up in the middle of anything.  

LaNasa asked if I still wanted to run games at TSR Con because apparently there were many people who could fill my spot if I was going to back out.  I said, I wasn't backing out, just wanted to stay out of the drama.  He seemed cool with that.

A day or two later, LaNasa messages me out of the blue saying that he re-read what I had written to him and thought I'd be better off not getting involved with TSR Con due to my friendship and/or allegiances to other OSR folks, such as Erik Tenkar, who nu-TSR seems to be at war with.

I said that I can make my own decisions, but if he doesn't want me there that's fine, just say so.  LaNasa said it would be best if I came back for the next TSR Con in 2023.  "Ok, sounds good" I said.  He gave me the thumbs up, and that was that.

Officially, I'm no longer running anything, nor appearing, at TSR Con this March... or probably ever.  I mean, who does that?  It's all so tiresome and a waste of energy.  In the time it took from the first announcement of TSR Con to a couple days ago, I wrote the majority of a new book - Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows.  One that will certainly go down in the history books of fantasy roleplaying games!  Specifically, I spent my free time creating the Cremza'amirikza'am "sexcrawl" megadungeon... something which no one has ever seen before.

So, what is the greatest living Game Master going to do now?  Well, the mask mandates are being lifted everywhere because Democrats have seen the polling numbers and realize how screwed they are in November.  Perhaps I'll run Cha'alt at one or more friendly local game stores next month?  I don't know.  Suggestions?

p.s. One place where you won't have to worry about such unnecessary distractions is VENGER CON this July in Madison, WI.  

p.p.s. I'm open to interviews if anyone wants to do a back-and-forth email Q&A for their blog.  Podcasts and such will have to wait since I already have those time commitments filled for the foreseeable future. 

Mandate Freedom

 

If you told me months ago that we'd be looking at Canada to show the way, I'd be incredulous at best.  But here we are...

The Freedom Convoy of Canadian truckers is on the precipice of breaking leftist authoritarianism.  Their infectious courage has inspired peaceful protests here in the USA, Australia, France, and several other countries.

We've been suffering under covid restrictions, mandates, lockdowns, masks, vaccine passports, and all sorts of lies, corruption, and actual fascism (when government and big business work together to disenfranchise the people).

Take the red-pill of populism, liberty, and freedom.  Embrace tradition; reject modernity.  This is the way!

Have a great weekend,

p.s. Check out the new PDF for Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows.  If you're available, we hope you'll game with us at VENGER CON this July in Madison, WI.

Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows

 

This is it, my friends... book 3 of the Cha'alt trilogy.  

The PDF was just released today, like some slavering, incontinent demon determined to shit the bed of conformity, woke-ism, vanilla fantasy, and corporate D&D.

It's a whopping 360 motherfucking pages!  Now, before you get too excited, it contains some previously released material.  Namely, the Saving Cha'alt and Cha'alt After Dark material.  If you already own those, and also missed out on the Kickstarter a few months ago, just paypal me $10 and I'll send you the PDF so you're not paying for material you already own.

Just to warn you, Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows is sleazy and depraved in spots.  Imagine taking the eldritch, gonzo, science-fantasy, post-apocalyptic campaign setting you already know and love, then pouring in some sweet, sweet Alpha Blue.  Yeah, it's going to blow your mind, hoss!

If you're wondering about the hardcovers, the digital files will be ready to go soon.  I should have the books in my slimy green tentacles this summer.

Oh yeah, if you find something that needs fixing, let me know ASAP!  I'm updating the PDF next week, and want all those little typos, layout glitches, errors, and whatever brought to my attention BEFORE sending the digital files to the printer.

Email me at: Venger.Satanis@yahoo.com

I'm still exhausted from my family vacation, so will end this blog post here.  Good night!

p.s. Still 80-something tickets for VENGER CON... a small old-school, OSR, and traditional RPG convention in Madison, WI this July.

Politics Again?!?

 

This blog post should be about RPGs, but it's not.  It's unfortunately about the radical-leftists coming out of the woodwork to fuck with regular old gamers, probably like yourself.

I'm not even going to go into it, hoss.  Stuff on YouTube, Twitter, Discord.  

Yeah, the tide is turning... but not fast enough.  These woke, SJW leftoids have to be confronted and mocked and called-out for their shitty behavior.  They're petty authoritarians.  

Anyway, I'll be "out of the office" for a few days.  Send good vibes.  Comment below to show a brother he's not alone!

p.s. Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows coming in 2 weeks!

VENGER CON under fire

 

This is a link to the video, if you're reading the blog post on a mobile device.

So, what's this all about?

One or more people, most likely radical-leftists, went to tabletop events in order to get my convention shut down or at least removed from their platform.  

I have the email if anyone wants to read it.  Just ask:  Venger.Satanis@yahoo.com

On what grounds would VENGER CON be removed from the tabletop events platform?  "Sexually explicit" and "hateful or otherwise objectionable" material found on this here blog which I linked to in the banners and website.

I replied back, asking for them to specifically tell me what material from my blog went against their code of conduct.  If I have to, I'll ditch the links to my blog.  Regardless, this isn't going to deter me from putting on an awesome gaming convention.

While it's still up, grab yourself a ticket (limited to 100 attendees).  Join us!  The goal of VENGER CON is a return to normalcy and celebration of gaming's golden age - old-school, OSR, and traditional RPGs.  You won't see rooms full of board and card games, nor an expansive dealer hall full of retailers. VENGER CON is for paper & pencil RPGs!

The more they want to shut VENGER CON down, the more I want it to happen.  Remember, we're still fighting a culture war.  A certain segment of the RPG community, hobby, and industry would love nothing better than to shut the OSR down - especially, if it also brings down individuals that pushback against their authoritarian agenda.

Thanks for your support,

Chartreuse Shadows coming soon...

 

The raw text for Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows was completed yesterday.  I'm going to give it one last look today before sending it over to the proofreaders.  

I fully expect the PDF to be finished by the end of March, and hopefully (tentacles crossed), I'll have 1,000 gorgeous, luxury, hardcover books in my hands by July.  That's assuming supply chain issues don't cause delays.

The main feature of Chartreuse Shadows is the megadungeon Cremza'amirikza'am.  I'm excited to show everyone because it's really cool.  I don't know, maybe it's the most awesome (certainly in the running for the most Venger) gaming thing I've ever written.

Not everyone's going to love it, of course.  And that's ok.  If I wanted bland, beige content that didn't risk offending anyone, I'd take one of those low-paid internships at D&D, or simply hop onto DM's Guild.

Thanks to everyone who's attended my playtests, the amazing artists and crowd-source dudes on social media who gave me suggestions, backed the Kickstarter(s), supported me, bought my stuff, helped with promotion, and is doing their own thing, their own way.  I appreciate you!

p.s. Now, that January is here... it's time to rev-up promotion for VENGER CON in Madison, WI this July.
