Slightly over 4 years ago I yammered a bit about a game company called “Evil Hat” that was putting out a Lovecraftian game while not only hating Lovecraft but also *intentionally* not understanding the idea:
Making a *huge* point about bashing the creator of the IP you’re squatting on, while misinterpreting the importance of some of the most basic elements, points out that you’re just wearing the fandom as a skinsuit, a way to squeeze some of that filthy lucre from the nerds. Something we’ve seen far too often from the likes of those running Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr. Who into the ground.
Anyway, the producers of that Cthulhu game are back with another IP-cash-grab, this time in the “Tomb raider” franchise. I’ve never played any of the games; this franchise is not my thing. But for those of you who care about it… let me know if they got it right.
Someone did some digging around and found out some stuff about some of the people behind the game…

Tumblr art, self-insert deviant weirdos. Sounds about right.

2 years ago I went to a gaming convention after a long break…I think my last convention was in the late 90’s. I signed up for a game advertised as “red box D&D” cool, I know those rules, no problem.
sat down, the DM went around the table and had everyone introduce themselves. eeryone is spouting off thier various disabilities and phobias and other “triggers”. I said I was a player, coming back after a long time away, probably been playing longer than most of you have been alive, played red box D&D back when it first came out, I’m very familiar with the rules, can we get to the game please?
wrong answer.
I had to tell them my sexual preferences before we could actually play. and “none of your god damned business can we play the game please” was not an acceptable answer. what this had to do with the game, I still don’t know. after a while I left and didn’t go back.
Some people are just plain antifun.

And these people are fat dangerhair SJW weirdos who find Lovecraft and the Mythos to be “problematic,” huh? I’d never have guessed.
