    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    True, but they do have a right to decide who they will do business with. Sure. But political activism is legal, and in the USA at least, a right. And to be clear, this is just two companies changing their business model. There are other venues already in place.

    When "playing it wrong" is more fun

    In both War Hammer Fantasy, and Degenesis, I changed the the effect of Warpstone/Sepsis to a more 'intentional' corruption, because otherwise there would be literally no campaign. And in Degenesis I moved the factions (cults) to a more true-to-their-beliefs mode, because to use it RAW required...

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    Steams current controls do not match the requirements by new laws. Some states now require ID confirmation, whereas Steam, which I've used for more than a decade, only has a honor-system application of DoB. I'm 117 years old, so far as Steam knows.

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    So buy your porn from other sources. Its all private companies involved, so they are within their rights to choose how they do business. Several states in the USA have just passed criminal and civil statutes restricting access to porn for underaged consumers; I imagine for some carriers, like...

    So you're done with D&D but still want to play D&Dish fantasy...

    Its everything D&D is not: Limited spell lists (as compared to D&D), no 'spell for everything' much more limited spellcasting resources, so spells are conserved for fire support in important combats. armor absorbs (some) damage, but does not affect ability to hit Combat is a contested roll...

    So you're done with D&D but still want to play D&Dish fantasy...

    I use Hackmaster 5e, which has little or no connection to D&D mechanically, for any pre-WW1 setting, although it is best for fantasy. Its great Roll20 support is a strong plus in its favor.

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    I'm sure you believe that. I don't, but I hope it pays well. So much of life boils down to money, much like the basis of this thread, in fact: GR needs 50k.

    I'm feeling pretty confident you don't have a law degree, either. :ROFLMAO:

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'big feelings' in this context. You do not have to be a lawyer to read.

    I have never cited a legal background, but I have seen small publisher contracts in the case in question, albeit not all of them, of course. Did you not read post #285?

    Warner's and Disney's? No. Other publishers? Yes. Bankruptcy filings are public record. The entire reason GR needs a legal team, and the purpose of this endless thread, is that their contracts, as others have already pointed out, lack certain filings and specifics. As others have already...

    I seriously doubt those lawyers miss a thing, which is why their employers will be getting the lion's share of the extracted funds.

    They can on occasion. More often, not. This one, with a consignment inventory with loosely-worded contracts, isn't likely to hold many shockers. But time will tell.

    Studio Agate Takes Over 7th Sea From Chaosium

    The setting is interesting, but the mechanics in both editions really fail, IMO, to capture the spirit of the setting.

    Not really, but its not important. Sure, there are people who believe a lot of things. This is not new. But regardless of what people think, or believe, a bankruptcy proceeding follows a well-defined route to an inevitable, passionless, and unsurprising conclusion. The question that...

    Again, I'm not clear on your usage of 'flex' in this context. Or 'hot take'. The world is also larger than you, and what appalls you. Diamond folding is not a good thing, but it is, in the final sorting, just business. No one has or will perish.

    Appalling to you, sure. Amazon rocks, really. They've made me a fair amount of money over the years, and they will always have a special place in my heart.
