That makes a lot more sense! I was absolutely convinced it was read "wani", so "oni" didn't even figure into my interpretation.

Great excuse to do some kanji work. Tatsuwakamaru (辰若丸) East + noble son + maru (fairly common name suffix). Shikimi (樒) A type of bush. Japanese star anise. Is it just me or are flower/plant names popular for ninja characters? Waniguma (?熊) The first kanji has me beaten. Second kanji is...

That's actually an excellent point. I hope you are right.

But worse for everyone else.

I would have told them to F off, unless what I was selling was actually illegal. I don't see much merit in listening to puritan conservatives.

I repeat that my problem with this whole situation isn't that itch io delisted these things. My problem is that they did it because of pressure from payment processors.

I am talking about bad, as in, bad for society and people. It could be good for the corporations doing the censorship, I don't really care.

Yes, and that is bad.

The bolded text illustrates the problem with the whole situation.

People should be free to make that type of game. I'm not interested in playing it. It's not a game for me. People should be free to refuse to sell it. My chief concern is when a third party middleman who does not produce anything, but merely facilitates transactions, gets involved in those...

They should be forced to accept that risk. Payment processors should not enforce morals.

Yeah sure. But I'm talking about the payment processor here, not itch.io itself. Visa mastercard are not actually selling anything. They're a middleman.

How? So visa mastercard is essentially a monopoly. Where would these puritans go? Stop paying digitally? All cash? Heck, even if there exists a completely puritan approved payment processor, it's only effective (in the eyes of these puritans) if people who don't want to use it have to use it...

They can, but should they always be allowed to? In my opinion: no. In the case of payment processors, they should be forced to accept all legal transfers. This thread illustrates why.

TSL shows up for me when I search there and I don't own it.

But it's one freedom against another one in this case. Sure they might have the law on their side, but also Dredd Scott. Suppose cash no longer exists and all payments are digital, how do you purchase something if the payment processors don't want you to be able to purchase it? This whole...

Why? What is the point of that right?

Wilykit and Wilykat look off on the cover. Everyone else looks great, though.

I retired a character only once because I was disappointed with multiple aspects of the character The character was a battle master fighter and thus quite limited outside of combat His personality wasn't very assertive, something which made him not work so well outside of combat. Characters...

This is true, but this boils down to "There is nothing the GM can't do, therefore no rules matter" which is, uh... I just don't think that's useful.
