This is news from last week, but I've just seen it now--apparently the current owners of the Judges Guild are massive Nazis. Like, just verbatim Nazi propaganda. Content warning, obviously.
I didn't get into D&D until Second Edition, so this era of D&D totally passed me by, but I do remember playing in a 1e game with a friend in elementary school who was drawing inspiration from their City-State of the Invincible Overlord. The closest connection I had is that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
etainemccul was dating, and later married, Robert Bledsaw I's nephew, though I lost contact with both of them a long time ago.
Looks like DriveThruRPG removed Judges Guild products from sale, to keep the money from going toward Nazis. And even places that whine about "SJWs" or "cancel culture" are condemning this because it's so obviously beyond the pale there's no defending it (I mean, Skarka's Law still applies, but).
Number of days I've gone without seeing Nazi propaganda: 0.
