Wait... That's it? Lmao

I used to be Patreon tier System Mastery listener. I loaded up the episodes and happy to see those two dudes are still doing it. First episode I listened to was the recent D20 Starwars, it is a rpg book near and dear to my heart as it was the game I played on the hot couch back I found back in the day. They have the star wars expanded universe knowledge and the OGL experience to precisely dissect and articulate all the problems with the system. Out of all the d&d 3.x era, D20 Modern was the best but D20 Starwars was fine.

I made a Rodian named Gwuido, Greedo's Brother. He was a tech specialist and I was just as useless as the dude playing Jedi when our cat piss smelling DM started describing the Yuuzhan Vong to us.

I saw a clip of the game where you, an average-height human, were slaying a mob of goblins (the world's anti-semitic caricatures) in a cave and lol'd at how bad it looked, in both gameplay and optics.

even ignoring jkr's shittiness, it looked like you were playing a gameplay segment of an Interview with the Vampire game and you were Louis fighting against his slaves' rebellion.

I was going to say...is it even good if you don't have Harry Potter brain? Somebody had pointed out that the culture war was being fought over a game made by people who'd only made licensed shovelware before and that it was probably going to be a passable GTA clone except with magic.

Wanted to check myself but I didn't see any reviewers worth anything covering it. Just the weirdest siren song.

Like, at least Kipling, Tom Brown, T.H. White, all of that Bildungsroman was supposed to be character building moral development. They were constructed from top to bottom with that in mind. Rowling, didn't. Consuming trash and then creating an ersatz morality around that is...I mean liberals aren't even basing their worldview on the foundations of liberalism anymore, just consumption.

I don't think JK Rowling wrote with an ideology in mind, other than background radiation Blairism, and I can't say any morality is instructed, let alone imparted, through her work. Be nice to your friends? That was the revelation that made her work the centre of the libs' moral universe?

e: just imagine if any of the characters in the game set in the 1890s were depicted with ideas and attitudes even slightly resembling those of the time. We'd have something approximating a social crisis.

they were squishy about the dang libs teaching natives dangerous ideas like they could also do junior officer posts in the empire. Kipling wrote entire screeds about how the Raj was being damaged because the local magistrate wasn't a pukka sahib but a greasy bengali. Reminder that britbongs wrote an entire subgenre of literature about indians kidnapping white women and keeping them in harems because women and children were generally rescued by local mutiny sympathisers.

which is crazy btw since iirc the climax of the fifth book is that the bad guys kind of win and Harry’s godfather dies because the villain knows exactly how he’ll respond to an out of context vision and uses that to trick him, which really should spur some kind of growth as a character
