[QUOTE="Swanosaurus, post: 9275213, member: 7044220"] Well, I've decided not to back after doing some more research. There's not one big thing that turns me off, but lots of little stuff that adds up, like ... ... a non-commital "it's kind of satirical, but we made sure to change it for Reforged" reaction about the First Edition Gnome on discord that didn't really engage with the criticism. ... a totally unrelated article by Daniel Fox on medium.com that kind of gives me the creeps. ... acting is if Zweihänder had always been about diversity and inclusiveness, when clearly, the first edition was more about being "edgy". I'm fine with changing your stance - in this case, I'd advocate it -, but you should be honest about where you came from. It kind of makes we wonder if, were Zweihänder to change its political stance once again, all of that current stuff would suddenly have been "satire". ... everything I'm reading by Daniel Fox (including here in this thread) sounds like lawyer-approved ad-speech. There's nothing inherently wrong about this, but I just don't like it. ... Richard Iorio apparently not being delighted about how his intellectual property was handled in Flames of Freedom. On its own, none of this would be a dealbreaker, but taken together, it's just enough to discourage me (even with Elizabeth Chaipraditkul being involved as a scenario authour ...). [/QUOTE]
