What's the deal with the Lamentations of the Flame Princess and Carcosa guy? I know he gets a lot of bad vibes around the forum, but I can't find out exactly why. I read through crunchy parts of the free edition of LotFP and wasn't blown away, but it didn't seem any better or worse than most of the retroclone stuff out there. Is the fluff really bad or something?

Rulebook Heavily posted:Carcosa has mechanics for ritualistically raping and murdering little girls (available to players no less), Lamentations of the Flame Princess is similarly stupid in its "grindhouse edition" artwork and both are published (and one is written by) by James Edward Raggi IV, who among other things denounces creativity as a worthy endeavor and calls you a moral coward if you happen to think that ritualistically murdering and raping little girls in your game is kind of lovely.  Done and done. Sorry I asked. Not going to bother reading the non-mechanical bits, then. Yuck! Thanks for the warning!
