This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I remember thinking "Why the fuck do I need to buy that when I could just do it with BRP?"

Although the artwork is indeed subversive and of high quality I´m very concerned that, again, all "edgyness" in US pop culture seems to perpetually circle around high school.

I´m not saying I truly fathom the depths of that phenomenon. Therefore, a treatise will not be written by me.

So I guess this is not really a good time to mention Heathers.

See if you can find Weirdo comics. There may be a collection. Or RAW (eds. Spiegelman and Mouly), though that has a strong European component.

Also: Coen Brothers, David Lynch, John Waters, John Carpenter, Tarantino. Particularly in the 80's-early 90's when they were young and hungry.

It's always a good time to mention Heathers.

Two key differences between the US and Germany- RPGs* are not edgy here- and neither is David Hasselhoff.






*Especially thirty year old RPGs- you've totally got your finger on the pulse.

P.S. I like Errol Otis, but  in this case, the art sucks.

I hate those pics in the opening few posts.

I DO like older Otus stuff that was used with D&D.

The same visual jokes were done in pages of National Lampoon - and with much better artwork.

Oh, and now we know where Kellri got his avatar from.

I love Erol Otus's work for D&D. The artwork from this game seems somehow...creepier...than his D&D work. I have to say I don't like it much.

4e definitely has an Old School feel. If you disagree, cool. I won\'t throw any hyperbole out to prove the point.

Isn't "creepy" Otus' whole schtick to begin with?

A more recent Otus piece...

Actually both is true for germany, too. The country cannot be held responsible for Sett being... special.

Only ever played "Teenagers From Outer Space" myself. Never saw this one that I can recall with my foggy old-man brains.

One thing; very surprised to see "La Raza" on a bathroom wall back in 1982. Obviously been going on longer than I thought...

Sett lives on Earth2. Over there, across the barrier, they're all doing The Hustle and watching new episodes of Quark, whilst they groom their chest hair. True story.
