[QUOTE="Emberashh, post: 9093278, member: 7040941"] If you're reading my words and think Im passing judgement on you or others for liking Shadowdark, you're taking my opinions personally. Case in point, you're misinterpreting what Ive said and jumping to a conclusion. The better course would have been to ask me to clarify if you weren't sure what I meant. The statement you're getting hung up on is directed at people who aren't already emotionally invested (as you clearly are) in Shadowdark and might be wondering if it aligns with their interests. Ergo, my assessment of it as being good as an intro to OSR gaming, specifically if you're coming from 5e (after all, the game sells itself on the basis of that fact), but not great if you're already into the OSR scene. Did I give you the impression SD makes me angry or are you projecting that anger onto me because you're cynically refusing to entertain that someone might have a valid criticism to make? For the record, I didn't know who developed Shadowdark until after I had read it, and I didn't even know it existed or was being made until deep into its KS. If you're wanting to paint someones opinions as being rooted in misogyny or homophobia, or both, you should pick a better target. (And lets not pretend either that this isn't what you were alluding to in what I quoted here. Anyone whose followed the reactions to this game knows how certain types of people reacted and thats exactly what you were referring to there). [/QUOTE]
