Has anyone taken a close reading at some of the lore in the preview around Breggles and Lankshorn? Something about it bothers me to the point that I canceled my pledge.

The Half-Breggles having genetic abnormalities part.

The Half-Breggles having genetic abnormalities part.

That makes you queasy? The breggle and their antics have been much toned down since the days of the Wormskin zine. It's only some offspring that's deformed. It's a little nod to Lovecraft's "Dunwich horror" I suppose...

The description of Harper’s Hall describes “ a young half-breggle boy who stumbled out of the Wood some months ago. Like most of his kind, the boy is a half-wit, “. Not judging anyone else but that doesn’t sit right with me.

Considering that it's rooted in Lovecraft's racism? Yeah. Thanks for letting me know.

That stuck in my craw, as well.

And that is not reassuring.

It's folk-horror. Have you read original Brothers Grimm tales? Not everything is sanitized ...

didn’t they abandon the term race? I think they are trying maybe mention it in the KS cimments?
