[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8410026, member: 6704184"] The prose sells the game short by coming across as juvenile and like it’s presenting a game that is going to annoyingly push for needless shock BS for its own sake to appeal to people that never matured past their middle school days. Parts of it read like the “XTreme!” edgy nonsense with nothing to say from the 90’s. The fact that if you get past all that there is an innovative, nuanced, challenging, work that will change how the user thinks about roleplaying is buried under a lot of stuff that reads like it was written in a normal fashion the first time, and the author said, “needs more cussing”. And I say that as someone who curses freely in daily life. The style is much more charming in Thirsty Sword Lesbians. The idea posited upthread that if you don’t like the prose the conflicts of the game aren’t for you is just BS pretentious gatekeeping of the most puerile, obnoxious, and absurd, order. AW is written in an attempt to come off like it is written by someone in a post apocalyptic movie, but it just does a mediocre job of it, and comes across try-hard and edgelord. [/QUOTE]
