− | + | Hey--Spawn of Fashan was a real game? I remember Lawrence Schick's hilarious review of it in Dragon magazine, and I thought the review was a joke. | |

LOL -- your critique is a bit hypocritical actually. AD&D and almost every other successful RPG is all about killing racial minorities -- just not ones identified with real life minorities who can talk back and sue out of game. Although if I am not mistaken AD&D was sent letters by the NAACP threating to sue based on their perception than Drow represented the real life black minority. Of course nothing ever happened because in most campaigns the evidence was too ridiculous thin to take to court. | LOL -- your critique is a bit hypocritical actually.

Bottom line? Successful RPGs use racial war with fake races because every games needs easily identified enemies. Uniforms are not very flexible and limit the game to idealistic Prussian War rules (no spies, no civilians, nobody out of uniform and limited variety of uniforms). Fake races keep the legal issues from cropping up too early. | Bottom line? Successful RPGs use racial war with fake races because every games needs easily identified enemies.

+ | SenZar does not deserve to be on here. The game is mechanically solid, probably the best game in its style released prior to 3e D&D. It has cheese metal iconography, but that does not make it a bad RPG. | ||
