RPG.net, which some of you might remember as having foolishly ran a column of mine for a year, has recently posted a review of a new role-playing games called Empire of Satanis (sic). The review tears the game apart, but the fun starts when you get to the comments and, from there, the pissing match between the reviewer, a couple other folks, and the game's creator. With any luck, this debacle could escalate to Derek Smart/Battlecruiser 3000 proportions, which would be solid flamewar gold. Nota bene: is it a coincidence that the creator of Empire of Satanis is also named Darrick? OF COURSE NOT. Dudes whose first names are variants of Derek/Derrick/Darrick will be to flamewars what dudes with three names are to mass murder.
Man oh man, I really love the internet!
P.S. I just reread several of my old RPG.net columns, and while I totally failed to impart to readers any useful advice about writing fiction, I gotta say that the writing ain't half bad.
