[QUOTE="BBShockwave, post: 7766382, member: 6955823"] Seriously, we had RPGs where you fought Hitler's brain in a robot body... on the MOON. Or where the nazis were revealed to be in league with aliens! And nobody thought that this somehow was insulting to all their victims somehow. But apparently you make one chapter of a book about vampires being responsible for real-world events and that was enough to be the death toll of a decades old RPG company... One that always did this thing, integrating real life events into the lore of the world. RIP, White Wolf. I will check out whatever comes next but I expect it will be watered down crap. Oh and for the record to those who will say I am thick skinned because it is not my people being hurt there... Ever hear about Elizabeth Báthory? Because of (never really proven) claims that she tortured her servants and bathed in their blood to get eternal youth, she was basically imprisoned for life and stripped of her lands, and died soon after. Now you will likely be familiar with her because she was made into a vampire in EVERYTHING - Hellboy, Vampire Hunter D, various Dracula related books and movies, and yes even the Countess in Diablo II is based on her. Yet, you will not find petitions written by throngs of angry Hungarians that a noblewoman likely falsely tried for political reasons should not be portrayed as a vampire... Mostly because we all know this is not a serious accusation but all done in favour to spice up a game/novel/movie with real life events. [/QUOTE]
