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.

Dark, Grimdark, or Horror?

QuoteMeanwhile, I consider the end of True Detective S2 to be Grimdark. A few of the antagonists are dead, but it's very obviously not a victory for the heroeswho ultimately died without really accomplishing - Colin Farrel's son will never get his final message, Vince Vaughn slowly dies in the desert, Taylor Kitsch died pointlessly because he couldn't come to terms with his sexuality, Rachel McAdams survives living in exile but her son will never know her father, the conspirators get away with their crimes to prosper. The possibility the truth may get out is left open but there's no assurance of it.

IIRC from 4 original conspirators only one survived and prospered.
Of the robbery yep, but him, the Mexicans, the governor and mayor's son all get away scot free.

Actually, now that I think of it, I've only heard the term "grimdark" used in a real conversation by folks who are not a fan of dark games to mock them.
