Troll Lord Games was faced with an employee that said some offensive things about their customers. How they reacted was extremely balanced, but that didn't stop hordes of Woke NPCs from brigading them. But here's what we do about it...

Eventually, a year or so from now, TLG needs to get rid of Vey.
You are 100% correct - Vey is secretly smiling at the SJW pile-on...
I have close family that has to deal with SJW employee's in their own company, and these people are Cancer.
They'll keep their heads down for a while when they get called out on their BS, but eventually they always make a play to have things their way.
Always. It never stops. The only effective solution is to cut the Cancer out.
TLG should round out the current projects that they use Vey for, and then slowly phase him out.
If they don't Vey will strike again. And again, and again.
They can't help themselves, and they are just like the vampires from the movie Lost Boys; They will always try and take you down with them.

HOW DARE YOU even mention Lost Boys in the same breath as SJW's! >:(
Your penance is to say a dozen Corey Haim's, and a half dozen Corey Feldman's.
The matter has resulted in some permanent bans on rpg.net. Mainly on the, 'if you're not with us you're a racist' mob mentality that has come to dominate there.
Definitely some peak TBP bans in that thread, including the infamous DOOM
This message got me Perma banned from rpg.net in their TLG slander thread:
Quotehis is a good take by Troll Lord's. Game companies should just make games and stay out of politics. This shouldn't be a platform for activism, it's about entertainment and escapism.
I don't want to turn on CSPAN and listen to politicians wax on about min maxing character builds or discussing lore changes from campaign setting editions. They should stick to politics.
Pretty simple stuff that used to be the norm before social media ruined everything.
It's scary how extreme the echo chambers are becoming. Can't even go against the dogma in anyway without being silenced.

Singing the praises of the great and wise Frog brothers is one thing.
But you go to far sir!
Too far I say!

MUHAHAHA! REPENT! REPENT!
This twitter hatred warms my heart. Because, while I am not in the know at all, I'm willing to bet that TLG has seen a ton of sales because of this. Just like Pundit sees when the twatteratis are angry with him.

That would require me to actually re-log into my rpg.net account with a password saved on a browser two computers ago (c. 2014 was my last login there). I'll just leave it dead and buried and for them to find since they ban for offsite speech now.
Ah yes the incredible hypocrisy ofTBP never fails to amaze or be showcased to be viewed by all.
So TLG no politics statement is considered political simply because they don't agree with it.
Yet Goblinoid Games statements that are the opposite are very overly political. Only a deaf, dumb, blind and suffering from a major concussion would claim it's not political. Yet because TBP likes and agrees with it it's not political.
Oh big purple never change and give me more reasons to never visit again.
Apparently GG is shutting down sad to see another publisher though not too much when their politics overwhelms their good sense.
As usual the so called SJW progressives say nothing about how TBP is engaging in censorship.
Can't stop the mutual circle jerk.

Where did GG say they are shutting down?
The SJW and Wokerati do not have money or resources to purchase anything. Trying to cater to their needs is an effort in destroying profit margins and driving away core business.
I find it rather hilarious that the outrage being directed towards TLG is not even from the intended, target audience, that the tweet was even directed to in the first place.
Edit to add: and also a little disappointed in Nogueiro's response. His games contain absolutely zilch of the continent he's stating that they should be aware of, he doesn't put political views in his games! So why would he even bother to make the statement in the first place? Truly sad.

Then I might be banned already.
How is Hasbro's attempt to destroy the OGL 1.0 going to affect Troll Lords? Their Castles & Crusades game uses the OGL, right? Have they said anything about this yet?

I'm going to go on a limb and declare "no politics" is a political statement.
Specifically, it is a rejection of a specific brand of political ideology best explained by a quote from an early practitioner who started out as an Italian Communist:
"Everything Within the State, Nothing Against the State, Nothing Outside the State"
I think it is reasonable to conclude those opposed to such declarations, declarations of a private sphere, embrace the ideology in the above quote or one of its relatives in the Totalitarian sphere.

It relies on 1.0 and materials under 1.0 cannot be removed from being under 1.0.
They'll be fine for both C&C and their 5e lines. They just will have to avoid 6e specific items.

I hope you're right. Hasbro sounds like they're willing to use large sums of money via weaponized lawfare to discourage people who sell material using the earlier license.

Same over on BGG. It's wrong only when someone else does it.
Troll lord is offering a Fire Sale on all their 5E products. $10 for a hardback and 3.99 for each of their 5e adventures. Seems everyone is getting out of the 5e market.

Gaxmoor is decent, as is the supplement, "The Undercaverns of Gaxmoor," both of which I have for C&C. The main issue with most of the Troll Lord adventures, at least in their C&C incarnations, is that full stat blocks for monsters aren't provided and the writing can be rather uneven. So you need to put the prep in ahead of time to run them. But at those prices I'd say they're worth it.
You can buy all their 5e content for less than $120. $260ish if you want print and pdf. I snagged everything i could. Worth it before its pulped by WOTC
