The context is all right there. All that is left from dismissing literature that is disliked or uncomfortable is the ashes of a former library. It's a bit like the difference between Orwell's vision of dystopia and Huxley's... Orwell showed us his fear of a culture where reading was not allowed...

RPGs are part of the long tradition of collective storytelling. At their best, they are part of literature, however one defines the form. "Literature is the art of teaching us how to be." (Dr Jonathan Barz) "I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book...

Of course I am happy! ...I do not wish to become reactor shielding.

Although I was in a part of the world that Dallas didn't reach, the Husband has vivid memories of Dr Johnny Fever circa 1980. As he grew up, he came to resemble the good Doctor in more ways than just becoming a radio DJ. 😎 It's curious and marvelous what our brains hang on to and send to the...

"Whalepunk" as noun, not adjective.

I don't get offended by words. Especially words on the internet. I did find it a curious concept to dismiss a (non-existent) game because the title character would be over-powered in comparison with player characters since that is a common theme in myriad licensed IPs.

Or the massive stinking landfill just outside of town that causes people to move elsewhere to find better pastures and outlets for their needs... :oops: :unsure::p

In Conan-branded games, is having Conan in the game a problem? Only if they fight him. In Stormbringer, is Elric an issue for the PCs to be around? Well, yes and no; Elric isn't the problem, it's that damned sword of his. How about Kirk or Picard in Star Trek? Sherlock Holmes!? No, thank you...
