"Know that if you are still doing it in this world, under these conditions, in this situation which is designed in every detail and on every level to constantly compare you to the lamest possible interpretation of you, then you are doing something,"
As near as I have thus far sussed, some people have far too much wrapped up in one version or another of original sin, to be able to afford to see anything but the lamest version of others. They can't see you as a bright and shining star, and keep seeing themselves as damned, deplorable creatures.
In recent weeks, a group of OSR bloggers have been lambasting Jim Raggi for the "objectionable" artwork and/or "nihilistic" tone of "Lamentations of the Flame Princess: Grindhouse Edition" as well as Zak S's "Vornheim," and Goodman Games' "Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game." One of these bloggers, a Mr. Greg Christopher, just posted a strange tirade about how fans of Mr. Raggi (as well as furries and those who "masturbate to horror films") are "in a box."
"...some people have far too much wrapped up in one version or another of original sin, to be able to afford to see anything but the lamest version of others."
If had a time machine, I'd go back to 4th century Hippo to beat some sense into "Saint" Augustine.
....on a more hilarious note, how much do you want to be that you could cause a riot with that book, a time machine and the height of the anti-D&D craze? :D
Good art, rather creepy in how many women seem to be getting brutally killed in it, but I've got a hunch that that is part of 'grindhouse' whatever that is.

The Ace of Spuds
ReplyDeletePotato Head
He was a potato head
Crispier than you and me
Potato head
He was a potato head
And it determined what he could be
But he had job
And he had his cause
And he cooked the bacon
So no one knew
