Was the knowledge of how disease basically erased native civilization even that embedded in popular historical consciousness when Maztica was written?

This is the stuff I read the thread for. Reminds me of how Tagers in Cthulhutech are supposed to slowly gain insanity points but the roll to avoid gaining one uses their primary stat.

Kult is an edgy little thing, isn't it? Anyone planning on reviewing Sigmata?

Let's take Sigmata on its face and assume this fascist government has pissed off the religious right, the militia movement, AND the super-capitalists. How are they still in power? Are they about to be toppled? This sounds like a situation where you should be focused on outmaneuvering the other factions to become the new government. It's Iran in 1979- making sure everyone is working together should be subordinate to making sure Khomeini doesn't turn the country into a theocracy.

Does Sigmata address fascist America's firearms laws? Because a mass gun confiscation could create a situation a little bit like the one it envisions- I still don't see the religious right being a rebel faction.

Why are every single one of these "edgy" RPGs always so loving BORING? Are they so laser focused on pandering to the "Scare the normies" type of GM that they forget to make the rest of the game work?

gradenko_2000 posted:I'm kind of really late to this, having just read that Sigmata post, but I've developed a particular stick in my craw over the use of "populist" as a descriptor for figures like McCarthy: Based on that interview with the author, I'd peg him as an extreme elitist who actually does fear populism in the sense of the masses pushing for things and making decisions, because the nice, smart people from the big blue states are supposed to be doing that for them. Like, I am not particularly radical, but he clearly worships/ed Hillary and talks like someone who has no skin in the political game beyond the "team" he doesn't like winning and being mean about it.

Halloween Jack posted:Our educational system is basically designed to make you terrified of any revolution that isn't about elections and free markets. I would call that part a perfectly sensible fear. Gears of Defiance is definitely too cutesy and cartoony for its subject matter though, on top of the whole using a Lenin figure for the evil regime in a way that doesn't feel like a deliberate reversal or commentary.

SirPhoebos posted:RIFTS is the film that has an action-packed opener in the first 5 minutes, followed by 2 hours and 25 minutes of establishing shots and exposition. And the top billed actor (who is of course Cameron Mitchell) is only in it for 3 minutes. So what's the RPG equivalent of the film selected to replace it on Best of the Worst after the group starts to die of boredom?

Did they base that off the Shi from Fallout 2? They had a supercomputer as well. Black Isle was going to have the Enclave nuke them in Van Buren for good reason.
