Black Lives Matter Pride Knights
Added 2020-06-08 21:28:59 +0000 UTCJune is Pride Month! But this year things are a little different.
Most of you are probably aware of what's happening in the United States right now. Protests have broken out against police violence and in support of Black lives following the murder of George Floyd on May 25th 2020 in Minneapolis by the police.
The first Pride was a riot; a riot against police violence.
This Pride we stand in solidarity with our Black brothers, sisters, and siblings.
So for this Pride Month Forgotten Adventures is releasing a free token for you all to show your Pride and show your support of our Black brothers, sisters, and siblings.
The Pride Knight is dressed in full plate armor, a cape to show their Pride, and carries a shield emblazoned with a black fist to show Black Lives Matter!
(A note about Pride flags: There are a huge number of Pride flags out there. We have tried to include a good number, but we couldn't include all the flags ever designed if we ever wanted to release this in a timely fashion. We hope there is something included in the pack that works for you and we would like to remind everyone that Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow Pride flag for every member of the Pride community.)
Forgotten Adventures has been trying to figure out how we can help support this cause and have, for the time being, settled on releasing this token to raise awareness and on a flat donation to Black Lives Matter of 250$.
We encourage you all to also donate and help in any way you can. The following page from Black Lives Matter has a number of options for you to get involved. https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#donate

Some people need to grow up. Both FA and the rest of us are better off without them, TBH.

2020-09-09 02:56:02 +0000 UTCI agree with Chris, and I too will be backing out. Thanks for the maps thus far.

2020-08-26 20:26:35 +0000 UTCThank you for your work over the years, but I'm currently reviewing whom I continue to support despite patreons blatant siding with certain political movements and their deplatforming of creators. Sadly, due to your choice of political activism and support of a insurgent (google Susan Rosenberg) racial supremacist organisation, I will make the choice to stop supporting your work. Still, thank you for the journey so far.

2020-06-13 03:14:37 +0000 UTCThanks for the response, David. I certainly mean no offense. I just can't support continued violence toward many for the violent actions of a few. I have friends & family in law enforcement that would never stand for the mistreatment of an innocent person, regardless of color or creed. That said, I also have a close friend (who's white, if it matters) who was guilty of nothing more that a misdemeanor, but unjustly beaten & almost killed by cops that should never have been allowed to wear a badge in the first place. My point is that people are people & everyone matters, regardless of race, and I eagerly look forward to the day when race won't matter & we can all stand together as members of the Human Race. Peace & blessings.
2020-06-10 22:02:26 +0000 UTCBLM is a reminder that All Lives Matter. I think All Lives Matter is the default position for all of us, yet the black community often feels excluded or specifically targeted. Be careful what you post: the phrase "All Lives Matter" in response to "Black Lives Matter" is often a tool for racists to diminish the message of Black Lives Matter.
2020-06-10 18:56:53 +0000 UTCAll lives matter - black/white, gay/straight, police/criminal/accused, male/female, Christian/Muslim/atheist, etc. Those are the tokens that I'm waiting for. :)
2020-06-10 13:01:17 +0000 UTCThank you for these, I am sharing them with friends who can use this kind of happiness right now.

2020-06-08 21:40:08 +0000 UTCNice thanks :D would it be ok to use one of the knights as an icon on Twitter? (With link to the patron in bio of course) understandable if not ^^ but have been looking for a new one some time and that would be perfect :D
