[QUOTE="Ace, post: 7715185, member: 944"] Every so often some political bugaboo or other gets made into a game. The last one before this, not counting Blue Rose which is a game with an agenda instead of an agenda with a game was Lou J. Porters Blood and Choice which was a D20 variant about abortion clinics ! Yes really. Now I hugely respect and admire LJP as an artist, he very smart and very under appreciated but that idea was just daft , No one with an opinion is going to play that unless everyone is on the same page and people without a strong opinion is going to play it. Its not worth the group wreckage even if anyone is interested That makes the market basically strongly pro choice gamers or LJP collectors which is a tiny subset of a niche hobby. This collection is the same kind of thing an opportunity to express political views in the form of RPG's . I'm sure most the games work mechanically well enough but are unsuitable for most play groups . No big deal, Paul Czege's Nicotine Girls is brilliant but largely unplayable as is Kill Puppies for Satan as are many games. No big deal. I hope the authors enjoyed making it. [/QUOTE]
