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.

After the commotion in the OBS pulls item thread I thought there might be some interest in this article and since that thread's been closed here it is.

This is a link to TBP Review area, FYI

Review of Alpha Blue
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Democracy, meh? (538)

 "The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn't even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it."

Yeah I posted the same review over here too. It was written prior to the controversy

I'm sure that I've made enemies with this favourable critique.

Sorry. I must have missed it.

It's a neat little game but oddly the thing that impressed me the most about it was the system. It reminded me of the lost 90's classic Over the Edge, only even simpler.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I did post it here too. I submitted it to RPG.NET at around the same time, right before the controversy. However, due to a mix up with their website's functionality, it only got published AFTER the controversy. Ugh.
