Looks like a different group of people at asiansread are doing Al Qadim. Looks like people of middle-eastern descent and a red headed British white chick who says she's an LGBTQ+PoC.

Still have to watch this...
Daniel Kwan and bunch have indeed moved on to L5R.

Ok watched about twenty minutes of this, and then queued up my DvD copy of
"The Revenant" in order to watch Leonardo DiCaprio get raped by a Bear, and then exact revenge on everyone who left him for the bear, because it was so much more entertaining than listening to these four rambling on... OMG ...soooo boring!!! Seems obvious only two of them have read through L5R, and ...
WTF? An Archaeologist reviewing Fantasy RPG games, ...because why again??? I couldn't fathom any reason a fantasy gamer would care whether or not an archaeologist would approve of how they chose to game... so just simply confused about why she was invited to provide commentary in the first place.
While they read the book, it was also obvious that they didn't run an L5R campaign for themselves. I would have been much more interested in their commentary and evaluation if they actually tried the game and provided feedback on their experience playing. Are these guys even gamers, and if so, what do they play instead of L5R?
While these losers seem happy running around ripping on other peoples games, It would be much better for them, if they just designed and released their own Asian themed game, adding all the improvements they feel are lacking. I'd really like to see them do that. Then I'd like to try their game, then I might have some shred of respect for their evaluation of games from, ...well... almost fifty years ago,
back when very few Asians even played RPGs. I'd love to see them pioneer a new form of gaming instead of ripping on the truly innovative pioneers.
