Message: <blockquote data-quote="Afroconan" data-source="post: 9588376" data-attributes="member: 80331">I read the whole chapter and they took the Law and Chaos gods to heart. There's a One True God of Law (based on the catholic capital "G" God that even manifests as a holy trinity). There's a sidebar that specifies that if you're a Lawful cleric you must be from the Hadean Temple.Then there is the God of Chaos which is not really a God but some entity out of space that's tricking and tempting everyone into being degenerates to invoke their inner divinity but it's basically a ploy for this alien god to reproduce or something. They are evil and that's that. And then there is a "neutral" animistic religion that's practiced by the natives of the titular Forbidden North but I haven't read enough to see how that develops.I have no real issue with Law vs Chaos Gods. Thats baked into B/X. But the way the author chooses to present the Good God Above without any kind of criticism, and drawing clear parallels with real religions and actual modern religious issues... I don't know man. That raised some alarms. Then you see the dude supporting Musk and taking the "No Politics" stance... I learned about God's almost at the same time I got into the OSR and OSE specifically. I was expectant of the Vol 3 Kick-starter to go all in but then I began reading Vol. 1...Maybe I'm missing out on the best campaign ever, a modern classic even, but my gut tells me to stay away from it and it's author.</blockquote>
