[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8501453, member: 2209"] Sure then. For me, the big value here is to be aware so you can take it into consideration as you make your own calls. I bought Orcs of Thar in the BECMI era based on the cover art and the description on the back thinking it would be cool King Conan the Orc barbarian land. I did not think it would be a lot of Mad Magazine racial caricature humor. I bring up Orcs of Thar and different aspects of it when it seems relevant. I would recommend it for people interested in official BECMI racial classes for humanoids. I would also mention the problematic issues so they are aware of them going in if they choose to buy it. I am generally fine with aware people saying they want nothing to do with it, or that they are interested in parts of it, or they have no problem with it. Going in for a cool D&D humanoid nation supplement and getting surprise Chief Sitting Drool or art of a dark skinned big lips woman with a bone racial caricature is something that can be avoided with awareness. Awareness can also mean changing problematic elements if you want to when you use it. Others have different views on the appropriate response. Mine I feel is pretty autonomy respecting. [/QUOTE]
