I'm not a lawyer, but decided to go over Raw Fury's publishing agreement as I would any contract. Actually very cool that they're being this transparant, that said, a few 🚩 red flags 🚩 you might want to pay attention to. docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Dear gamer. We decided that we wanted to give back to the community, and take steps towards changing some stuff. Starting now, Raw Fury’s publishing agreement is available for any and all to read.

It sucks that the standard location for dungeon crawls was codefied as subterranean tunnel complexes instead of opulent châteauxs and decadent manses. We could have been stealing loot from cruel and degenerate nobility this whole time but instead we've been bothering goblins.

WOOOW. A Canadian research project gave homeless people $7,500 each — the results were 'beautifully surprising'.
Turns out: basic income for the homeless pays for itself. It's free money, because 'the project saved the shelter system $8,100 per person'.
