[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8944723, member: 23751"] So I've looked at the other thread and I'm not going to sign the petition, nor am I going to post in that thread at all. When someone makes a + thread about something like, "How do I create a critical hit system for my game." the "+" is just to keep the argument out and help the person figure out the answer to a problem. Those threads are great. When someone creates a + thread about a topic like this in which you have to post in support of it in some way to even post over there, with dissenters being kicked out, it is quite literally creating an echo chamber and I have no interest in echo chambers. On the topic of the Orcs of Thar, it has been a while since it has come up here. At that time it was the first that I had heard of that supplement. Most here know that I'm usually against associating fantasy races and such with real world populations based on coincidence and then calling them racist, but when I went to look at what the Orcs of Thar had done I was floored. It was bad and one of the very few instances where I agree with the critics in calling it racist(The Vistani is the other one). My view is that it should not be banned or re-written. Nor should it be offered for free. I can't remember the name of the guy in the other thread who pointed out that making it free just encourages it to be downloaded more and spread about, but I totally agree with that. It should be sold for some nominal price and the proceeds donated to charity. Do that and keep the disclaimer and that's all that needs to be done. [/QUOTE]
