Last night, I purchased the PDF for $5 and here is my impression...
Comparisons have been made with Encounter Critical. While both games are comedic pranks on gamers, allowing readers to peek inside the fantasy heartbreaker minds of the authors, there are several differences. Encounter Critical is a sophisticated, innovative, old school, labor of love by one or more slightly confused yet well-meaning amateurs. It's meant to be a product of the mid-70's that reaches for the stars.
50 Shades of Vorpal comes from the mind of one or more contemporary dudes who purposefully set out to emulate something like old school Dungeons & Dragons, but way more juvenile, idiotic, and single-minded in its love of hack and slash. It's like if HackMaster 4th edition were re-imagined by Beavis and Butthead.
