Elfs revisions

[Ron Edwards]

All right, we have Mr. Literal Rich on the one hand and Mr. Subtle Raven on the other. You see what I have to deal with? You see?

Anyway, now that I know that the revised text will please no one (probably), we're all set. Layout is under way and the printer is ready, so expect a new Elfs in a couple of months.

Best,
Ron

Hey, I haven't subjected Elfs to my brutal twisted rules clearity tests yet.  Only after I'm completely convinced that no one will actualy understand how Elfs is supposed to be played from the rules descriptions provided can you say the text will please no one.  *evil grin.*

Hell man, I already know that.

1. A review on RPG.net references a "gang bang" scene in one of their games involving the Ice & Fire character Lusciossa. The implication, if I'm not mistaken, is that the event was consensual; note as well that no such behavior is present in the actual text of the adventure.

2. Various insta-reactions to the review interpreted and re-stated the in-game event as gang rape, with attendant cries of horror and disgust at a game which includes such things.

3. The alleged gang rape was then cited as a part of the published rules in later discussions here at the Forge about what sort of character behavior the Elfs rules did or did not incite.

At which point I throw up my hands. "Gamers."

Best,
Ron
