In a quick word on what's wrong with this product.... this setting is beyond ridiculous. The political strawmen that makes up the setting is so far out there that it's not even funny. But the premise that Pagans and Pro-Choicers are the good guys, while Christians and Pro-Lifers are the bad guys goes into a whole new shock fest that has basically made up 'Otherverse Games' stock setting.
With the fact that this product line makes heroes of men like Kermit Gosnell makes me wonder just how far our entire society and culture has gone in what can only be classified as a free-fall.
The setting is colored by the worse aspects of creating Strawmen to argue against... and that's saying a lot after having taken the time to read the blog of the creator of this setting and quickly learned just how thin-skinned the guy actually is... and how quickly he wants to get into other peoples faces when it comes to his own stances, and then takes an overblown amount of offense when they don't automatically agree with him and yet still wish him well.
Now I admit that I gave this product a chance because I've liked much of what Skortched Urf' Studios has put out, and have parted ways with my money so I can get them... and i was sorely disappointed with this product, and felt like someone had taken a 50lb. Sledge Hammer to my head with the incredibly one-sided view on what should be an open and honest debate between two points of view. My personal belief is pretty much that the procedure should be legal, but it should be rare and not used as a form of birth control... nor do i support those who want to give mothers the right to kill a child after it's been lucky enough to actually be born.
Now the Pro-Choicers like to say that they want Abortion to be a rare occurrence, but at the same time they remain silent when butchers like Kermit Gosnell and the many other abortion mils show just what is actually happening in many of these clinics. They completely gloss over how these organizations were founded as a method of Genocide against minority groups. They don't want to stand up against the way these abortion mills have made select few billions of dollars at the expense of broken lives and dreams. And yet when someone on the Pro-Life side of the debate does get violent and kills someone... the entire movement comes together to decry this as going against the vary basis of what the movement has been about since it's founding.
And to have this history of actions is completely ignored or derided kind of shows where this setting is all about. Creating a political strawmen to tilt at while making the author feel superior to all those whom they despise for no good reason. And for that reason, I won't be making anymore purchases of anything associated with this product or it's creators. It's their right to write this, produce this and market this. My broken body, along with the honored dead I have had the honor of serving beside defending those freedoms of the creators of this product to do what they wish with their lives and their careers. But i still retain the right to decide that I will not purchase their products in the future. And I will continue to exercise this right by ensuring that I will not be having anything to associate with them.
And I will remain willing to die so that others may express themselves in this manner... but I will not be a patron of their products.
