Privilege Check, Or: An Egregious Example of the Tone Deaf, Silencing, 'Humour' of the Heteropatriarchal, White, Oppressor Class
Publisher: Postmortem Studios

The "game", if you call a single column of poorly edited text with no spacing a "game", is so assaulting to any pretense of playability or communal gaming I'm hesitant to assign it any rating at all.

This thing so completely defies comprehension that after three read-throughs I still can't quite understand its purpose. The goal seems to be less about playing with friends and more about lampooning Internet critics. Was this about making a game at all? I still don't know.

You are assigned cards that correspond to stereotypes (most of them quite vicious) and are instructed to argue over which one is most applicable to you in order to achieve a status of victimhood; like Apples to Apples, but replace the subject cards with such lovely titles as "Ambiguous Brown Person" or "Otherkin".

Direct your attention elsewhere. This is an embarrassing and forgetful product that appears to be motivated more by spite than anything else.

I\'m not entirely sure what you\'re looking at. The instructions have two columns of text, with spacing. Yes, it\'s a playable game (I suggest playing it) and yes it\'s also about lampooning not critics, but certain wild and woolly corners of the internet (like social justice Tumblr). There\'s two wings to the joke here, one the extreme social justice people and their \'games\' of oppression olympics, but also the nasty views of people on the opposite extreme. If you didn\'t get it, that\'s fine.

The Edgy Designer - A Dungeon World Playbook

I give this a single star on principle, as this entire fiasco is essentially a pay-per-view slap fight.

I will never use any of this content in a Dungeon World game because it's so ludicrously topical and trite it may as well be a glorified Facebook post. That they asked for money at all is in insult - professionalism is absent from this.

I am ashamed as a tabletop hobbyist and saddened to see such pettiness and rank immaturity between publishers.
