[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 1126506, member: 3987"] Yeah as far as I'm aware legal protection wise companies publishing under the D20 logo never had any protection if WotC decided to pull their license which even under the old one they could choose to do. Just now we have guidelines on when they are likely to consider pulling the license on a company. My only problem is I doubt there is anyone here that thinks any of the SSS products I've mentioned are outside the communities sense of decency (most of the illustrations are no worse than some you see in WotC products, but with the new guidelines your less likely to see products that take any risks. Personally I'ld be disappointed if a product like "Shelzar, the Pleasure City" didn't contain a single naked female nipple or illustration of a sexual nature (kissing is a 'sexual activity'), its not what I call a pleasure city if the only pleasures they can discribe or illustrate are chocolate ice cream or cream cakes. Where as in the past an Arabian Nights type adventure might have dancing girls and action in a harem, is a publisher likely to take that risk if it could mean he has to pulp his whole stock? I'm not so worried about Wizards censoring a product like "Shelzar: City of Sins" more the fact the publisher will now be over cautious and self censor prefectly exceptable products, cut prefectly good illustrations for the sake of a nipple showing in context or not.
