OSR Dragonslayer RPG truly delivers.

Except one: the author of Labyrinth Lord doesn't collaborate with someone who has literally advocated throwing acid in womens' faces.

Macris is problematic enough on his own. His association with Day makes him downright toxic.

I think you have your creators mixed up. This is Greg Gillespie.

Ah yes so I did. My bad.

I think it might seem that way just because they get the most attention. For instance, games like Fever Knights, Dante's Inferno, or Quest for the Lost Pixel that I post about just kind of pass by without notice. As a more popular counterpoint though, I was one of the first here to gush over Shadowdark. Hopefully Hackmaster will be just as popular when more news comes out too.

Anyways, those are just the threads I started. Trust me when I say I can't shut up about a million other games too.

what is old is what’s new. The more people complain, the more visible things become…despite perhaps intent to the contrary.

Keep talking about games you like! I feel like ENWorld helped me consider shadowdark more seriously…

For what it's worth, I think engagement driving visibility works in everyone's favor. Anyone wanting to learn more about this game will probably find this thread (thanks to being a top Google result), guaranteeing they see the criticisms against the author. I think that's more of a net positive than this thread just not existing for those that want their criticisms to be seen.

Since you brought up his name though...

I don't know very much about Day (other than what people have posted here) or Hazbin Hotel, but what are the chances of Vox Dei being a parody?

Oops, seeing it's a popular Latin phrase, so probably coincidence...
