Seriously though I'd love to check it out but Daniel doesn't want me as a customer. Luckily they'll refund your money if they disagree with your political ideology. Now if only we knew what theirs actually was...As for the games themselves:Blackbirds The Extinguishing: Easily one of my favorite settings to date. The 'Extinguishing' part was added after the fact likely for SEO reasons. Not sure what the state of the rights are but it's still available and currently half off at Amazon. Sadly there's little to no engagement anywhere but the #Discord (which I was kicked from just for lurking) and it's in dire need of a second edition the current publisher will most certainly not do. Flames of Freedom: <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-rise-and-fall-of-evil-genius-games.702617/page-16#post-9266210" target="_blank">The rights holder of Colonial Gothic said</a> "What happened with Flames of Freedom leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. A game was licensed only to eject what makes Colonial Gothic, well, Colonial Gothic. The experience left me mentally wrecked, which is not a good thing. To put the blame solely on the game overlooks other issues that have a far greater impact." and claimed they "regret ever licensing the game." Meanwhile the #Discord mods shut its channel down due to 'lack of engagement'. Tetsubo: Never saw the light of day. Supposedly Daniel Fox was shown the light by Daniel Kwan and paused the project until the license expired. Who knows, as the announcement on the Grim and Perilous site was 404 and <a href="https://rpggeek.com/thread/2385485/tetsubo-licensing-end-grim-perilous-studios-will-n" target="_blank">the only copy I found</a> was on rpggeek.So it hasn't exactly had much luck expanding beyond its roots, so maybe getting back to them and regrouping is a wise idea. Shame about ditching the satire though, as I think we all need to take ourselves less seriously these days.If I couldn't separate art from artist I wouldn't have any RPGs to play at all.Fox is the kind of person who prioritizes appearances and is threatened by anyone who challenges their carefully crafted persona. They'll hold an ideological position only insofar as it makes them look good, and then simply pretend they didn't and adopt a new one when things go south. They've attempted to market to both woke and edgelord alike, and because of that are despised on both ends of the spectrum by those who remember.That said, it won't stop me from buying the game if it's any good. What will are unnecessarily hostile gatekeeping tactics.</blockquote>
