Was pleased to see that she shared my opinion on what the morality clause was tossed in. I generally share her scepticism.

I will not invest in tobacco companies and have turned down several offers to interview there over the years. I have some indirect investment via index funds, but I cannot avoid that. Any claim that somehow a woman finance analysts gets a pass because of their gender does not understand the...

That is a personal decision. The question is more - do you enforce your personal decision on all others by banning the work? And, in this case, do I give WoTC that right over all others who produce content? Do I believe that the y were so strongly motivated by the perceived need to police the...

I was not a U.S. citizen during the time Milo was active and even today I don’t pay attention to similar political media promoters, so I am fairly ignorant of that subject. I bought AKCS from a bundle offering (not even knowing about anything more than the marketing text) and it seems to be a...

And the claims about the author are opinion that may not match with reality (I think they are hyperbole, but that is my opinion). The work itself is just a fairly straightforward S&S ruleset. Nothing wrong with it.

Who was chasing anyone around? I am just here. Some examples were discussed and I think you will see that I engaged in good faith.

The mods here are very reasonable. You have to be pretty egregious to get commented on. The rules on what will get you in trouble are clear as well.

Rpg.net. Their theme is purple coloured. Trust me, much better discussions here.

It is so arbitrary and ham handed, I kind of assumed that it was meant to generate more site visits and ad revenue than anything else.

Thanks. That was a good thread and the OP was very good at being specific at what they had objections to with the background of why it was bad without being sensationalist or based solely on personal perception. I was playing either Runequest or Champions by then, and did not buy any of those...

List works both ways. There is a purple site that typing AKCS would earn a site ban. Which is why I don't want the morality clause. Who knows who will be enforcing it? Circling back to the interview, I think that you really have to go far to find scenarios where that clause makes sense to be...

More proof that TSR/WoTC are the worst offenders? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orcs_of_Thar Looking at the general reviews/blog posts that come up from a search, there is nothing on racism. The only complaint I saw was about it being too goofy. I will have to search for the thread...

I don’t own that book and the preview does not have a product identity statement that I saw, so I was not sure. There is art I saw with bare breasts and the society does feature rape and slavery. It is more BDSM oriented (tamer in descriptions that 50 shades of grey by far), so this might trip...

I don’t think that this is OGL, but the core setting has been controversial since it was first published (Gor) https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/210283 When I was growing up, the books were printed by a major fantasy publishing house and Montreal’s main SF bookshop had them on prominent...

4 star review and still on sale and not pulled. No disclaimer on the site? Negative reviews are more that it is poorly put together with bad photography instead of art? That is the dangerous material that needs suppression? I can understand why a brand manager at a toy company would cringe...

I am asking in an open forum. I also participated in many of the OGL discussion threads as the news was breaking. Plus the many OA threads that cropped up (I lived in China and have close Chinese family / friends that don’t see the same issue that others do). I always hope that someone can...

To be clear, I have seen people defending the morality clause because of the danger of bad (hate / racist) RPG materials doing damage to the business. If you use the standards applied to Oriental Adventures (which lead to WoTC slapping a disclaimer on their older materials even though not OGL)...

Should I report the seal lion insults? The only long discussion (the one that lead to the disclaimer) was around Oriental Adventures. Is that what you are claiming to be no doubt examples of clearly racist content? Or maybe the Romani people (travelers, not sure the safe way to say them) using...

Or you can slap a half assed disclaimer on the product and continue to sell it? Can you give exmaples of straight up racist content?

I have never been given an example as well.
