[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 312056, member: 426"] I did not find the "tract" so much offensive, as annoying. It seems to be a parody on the Jack Chick track, but seems to be relatively unfunny. Maybe it is because I have run into people who swallow Jack Chick's line completely. While I am not a Christian, I think a Christian might be offended by how it and Jack Chick trivialize their beliefs. Of course, there is a Yiddish word that rhymes with duck that I associate with Jack Chick. I know a few others as well, but I will not mention them out of respect for Eric's Grandmother and board decorum. I concur with Ancalagon that Jack Chick is a hateful person who believes anyone who disagrees with his opinion is an agent of evil. The tract by White Wolf seems to have been created just for shock value, and it fails in that regard. I found their marketing efforts boring. I think it is a case of someone trying to go for a bad-boy image. Yawn. I would like to see an original spin on that. I find a "look-at-me, I am badder than bad" campaign very unoriginal. (The closest thing to originality seemed to be a background picture of Jesus where the halo was partially cut off to suggest horns. My that REALLY took creativity.) I have never really been into White Wolf's games. Maybe it is the fact that most of the game setting seem to be stepped in doom and gloom. I believe that people can make their own destiny. (Ironically, I enjoyed Mage: The Ascension when I played it briefly because it seemed as if the characters could make their own destiny... as opposed to some of the other games.) So, in summary, I suspect White Wolf hopes that someone will attack their new game and give them some free press. At the risk of sounding cynical, this doesn't seem to bode well about the quality of the game. [/QUOTE]
