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.

I don't think his products are published under the OGL. Terrible guy. Not OGL related.

Save us from Hate Weapons in a locker?

Who?

The badly stolen WB Cartoons disclaimer that looks like an intern wrote it? Does not say anything about being a hate product. And they are not even OGL.

I have never had anyone give me a good example of any OGL hate product. Occassionally I will see someone that people feel has problematic views (people's milage varies on that), but not an actual product. So I have heavily discounted such claims as it is all based on who the people are vs. the...

Not an OGL product. Keeps being brought up as an example but they never were OGL and the issue was not from the OGL.

So it has not happened in 23 years, the OGL forbids using the D&D branding, and somehow some executive is worried about it? Compared to many members of the dedvelopment team that are quite public on social media about this topic? OK, it is a matter of opinion unless you were there and know who...

The hate part is the weakest argument as it is so hard to find any examples of OGL “hate” products. As I have noted over and over, Drivethru already polices this pretty hard and I can’t imagine any mainstream store carrying such an item. The CC license makes this worse as the OGL forbids...
