GR leaked online
December 19th, 2009I knew it would happen at some point. Almost surprised it hasn’t happened before.
A few days back, some guy called Davis Grey leaked GR online and started a thread at some role-playing site about how fucked up the game is (which it is). If you (like me) enjoy following along the Internet hate-machine, especially all the misconceptions about role-playing and jeepform, you should go here. My favourite fuck-up is that the guy doesn’t want the game to exist but has probably given it a lot of new readers. I also take some heat for not having done something else instead of a game (love it when that happens). At least one guy notices the oppressive writing style of the game, but seems to think it was accidental. And several people seem to think the game is about actually raping people! (The thread is not quite as good as when the game was dissected on 4chan although Mike Pohjola was blamed for it then. The “Gang rape someone / call it a larp” Insanity wolf was the highlight.)
This pretty much says it all:
Is anyone actually saying that this is an appropriate subject for a game?
