That is a major concern conidering they’re using that as cover to specifically target LGBTQ+ content by mislabeling it as NSFW. I won’t be buying from itch until that policy is fully reversed and apologies go out.

I might be mistaken here, and this is probably not the thread for it, but my understanding is there is plenty of LGBTQ+ material currently available and indexable on itch, and that it is the creator's responsibility to tag their products NSFW. Additionally, there's been a movement amongst creators who do publish on itch, in response to the new policy, to set itch's share of any proceeds to 0. I'm not sure how widespread this is, but I do know a number of publishers who have done this.

Another great Appendix N Jam mini-adventure site I can see being dropped into lots of campaigns: Thunder Speakers of Buzhou. It's an Asian-coded adventure site where adventurers have to deal with the celestial bureaucracy to get the Celestial Emperor to grant their wish (although toned down so it's not game-breaking). The odds that a campaign wouldn't need something like this seems really unlikely to me.
