"Most citizens are too complacent to question how it is that their lifestyle is maintained." This is one of the most cutting bits of satire Siembieda ever wrote. It's a shame that they leaned more into the Coalition viewpoint as "not unreasonable" as time went on. Yeah, they're worse than the Nazis, but can you blame them? Yes, yes I can.
I'm glad that the Savage Worlds version seems to be running with the idea that somebody in that world would eventually wake up and say "okay, for real though: these guys aren't the solution, they're the problem" and actually start working on overthrowing them.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.

Is the Tomorrow Legion a new thing, or established in some book I haven't read, like those Coalition War books?
ReplyDeleteCasey G. It's a new thing created by Fannon in response to what went down in those Coalition War books (which I've only read a summary of).
