I have a good 20 Guild Ball models, including the one that the terrible fluff's about, and now I'm really glad they don't put any of that poo poo in a place where I might've actually read it.

Yeah the fluff is super duper easy to ignore if you want. I do think they've done a better job with the writing as the game has gone on, but I also understand if the Gutter stuff still turns people away. The early stuff is definitely "my first grimdark"

I think my first grimdark was, like, a particularly gothic episode of The Real Ghostbusters, and not fantasizing about raping a woman until she loves me

Yeah, I guess the better way to frame it is that whoever wrote the early stuff was very clearly a big Game of Thrones fan and copied a lot of the worst parts of that (and in this case, turned it to 11)

The 13th Age monster Bestiary 1 and 2 are both my absolute favorite, with the first one probably edging out the second by a small bit. I love the multiple takes and ways to tweak a given beastie to suit specific tastes and I'm just a huge fan of their style of flavor text in general
