If Wizards really cared about diversity and inclusion, they probably wouldn't have re-released the Evil Gypsy Adventure™ with all the Evil Gypsies taken out, and <i>then charged extra for it</i>.
BRA-fucking-VO! I agree wholeheartedly with this entire statement. This is the version of LotFP I want to support. Now can you square your stance in this post with your continuing participation in the blacklisting of Zak S? There is a large dissonance between LotFP's mission statement and the Zak situation.
As I wrote to someone who recently emailed me about that:
"I have no problems with Zak. He could be a GG Allin-level complete fuckup for all it really matters to me when it comes to working with him. He's a brilliant creator and that's all that should matter when one's business is creating.
But I do have a problem with constant harassment and the harassment of every single person I work with. I do have a problem with all of the "I can't work with you anymore" messages. The social media managers harassed out of the job (and in one case into the hospital). Having to have security protocols for booths at conventions for fear of physical confrontation. And threats against my business and distribution outlets and ability to even appear at conventions.
I can't and don't want to put myself in a position where I am working ONLY with Zak, and therefore wholly dependent on him for my own livelihood and well-being."
