Message: <blockquote data-quote="CruelSummerLord" data-source="post: 3970338" data-attributes="member: 48692">In reading the Lorraine Williams post, I came across this quote...What was this about?  Was SKR part of the lawsuit that stamped out this Mythos game?  I admit I'm curious, and I'd like to know more.  What do most people think of Reynolds, anyway?  My other question has to do with the "anti-dark gaming" thing that Roger Moore had going.  I noticed in one of the 2E Greyhawk products I owned, there seemed to be a move to generally sanitize the City of Greyhawk, mentioning at several points how establishments such as taverns and guilds that formerly excluded women or demihumans have become more inclusive and open to anyone, and how those that do not have attracted the disgust and scorn of many in the city.  Simillarly, I noticed how the City had abolished slavery-something that struck me as very odd, since I never would have figured Greyhawk to let morals get in the way of profit.  Was Moore involved in "sanitizing" any RPG products, or making them more politically correct?  I admit, that was something that irked me, and in my own Greyhawk work at Canonfire I went out of my way to make things more grey than that-many realms allowing slavery in one form or another, or practicing discrimination either open or subtle, more to keep Greyhawk a grim and gritty setting.  If there are still exclusiveness, racism and sexism in the real world in the new millennium, I simply see no reason why a gritty pseudo-medieval world would necessarily be any more enlightened.  I'm just curious about these two topics.</blockquote>
