When faced with a bad review.

Graciously thank the reviewer for taking the time to read and review your work.

Thank you, Malcolm.

"Dictionary of Mu marked the final degeneration from “trend” to “affectation” and finally, “masturbation.” By and large, strangeness for strangeness’ sake (mixed with pulp pastiche as part of a male-nerd thing) is getting monotonous. “It has a ( Read more... )

Nah, actually it is quite cool.

I own Houses of the Blooded. It's not really the same thing. It lacks some specific markers like nihilistic masculinity and consciously elaborate imagery. HotB's setting is quite straightforward and concentrates on redefined fundamentals. Creatures are all Ork, for instance.

Is it a good game? I'll find out when I run it, but I'm running another game right now. But even if it was good, and did fit in that category, it wouldn't really change anything.

Haha, I did raise an eyebrow at that. I wouldn't put those three on the same shelf together. If I left the room for a few minutes, I'd come back and the other two books would be gone and Mu would be suspiciously larger.

My Mu is Dust Devil Revenged, Lacuna 2nd Attempt and Castle Falkenstein away from my Exalted 1st ed section.

Content reviews are always like this. They either go:

"Whoa, SPIDER VAGINAS!!!!"

or

"Whoa, spider vaginas???"

Spider-Vagina judd_sonofbert July 1 2009, 12:49:55 UTC

I only wish I had written spider-vaginas into the game, if for no other reason so that Jennifer could draw them.

There is still time my friend! I told you years ago to release a blank journal for Mu. Make that the fucking cover!

Oh man, me too.

Man, I dunno. That kind of snobbery just seems so exhausting. I'd rather be having fun playing Mu than sneering over the rim of my wine glass.

What makes me sad is that's a really great article that he completely undermines with Mu-bashing at the final point.
