[QUOTE="Ace, post: 7665034, member: 944"] That's true enough Think of this as a variant of O'Sullivan's First Law , All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing. If you don't step in covert Leftism creeping into games of the hobby, it will zerg-creep the hobby far to the Left and co-opt it as a tool for Progressivism and say D&D 7 will end up Race with Us rather than a game For a large number of gamer's ,a little is enough and many of us simply don't want that to happen. Let me use an example of an existing game, Dark Heresy , a fairly apolitical description might be "In the 41st Millennium the players play Inquisitors of the God Emperor who seeks out Chaos, Heresy and protect the Empire using any means necessary" and let the reader figure out whether torture and murder are appropriate in game, how they feel about these things in real life and avoid unnecessary commentary . And my group plays this game regularly, we don't do those things in game but we also don't need some scold telling us games are wrong and those cultural slips to PC are quite common. I want the larger forces of the hobby to remain open to Right and Left ideas alike and unless entrysim is quashed, it won't. The hobby will go on no matter what do to the low cost of entry but its fine the way it is and political correctness getting involved is not welcome, And note I don't see Blue Rose doing this at all, its overt, on the cover and clear. I find Aldis a bit silly in places, I actually thought your [URL="http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/11/11387.phtml"]capsule review[/URL] was pretty spot on however and a great example of politically neutral without value judgement that I was aiming for, And yes I did notice a bit of snark about family formation , that's fine. Its fact based, as that's how retirement was handled in most of history. [/QUOTE]
