SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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 watched the last eppy tongight. I was satisfied with how it ended.
I haven't read the novel, but I have seen the original mini-series. That too kinda ended on a flat note. And so did this one. I mean, there's a whole scene that's just Torinaga expositioning about how his plans will play out. And then it ends with Fuji and Blackthorne saying their goodbyes.
Someone expecting a huge-ass battle is gonna be dissapointed.

A part of me wishes they'd drawn this out another few episodes and actually shown the "battle". But then, it would have been a huge let down to have these armies muster only for the whole thing to be called on account of politics. I dunno.

As a whole, the series is well worth the watch. It's really strong in the beginning, and has some really damn great moments.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.
