I'...'Morality' is your word, not mine. I'm speaking in terms of marketing. The creators made certain to emphasize a 50/50 gender ratio. The creators also included political commentary. They were sufficiently aware of social issues that they ought to have considered racial demographics.<br />I'm not saying that the creators intended to exclude non-whites but it's not the intent that matters, it's the effect.perdustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842738630442736894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589165667013235064.post-66049357673581246242015-07-26T00:30:02.818-04:002015-07-26T00:30:02.818-04:00I'm not sure about the cover "sending a m...I'm not sure about the cover "sending a message of exclusion". More likely the author was white, had mainly white friends and lived in a mainly white neighborhood, so he just created what seemed natural to him. The idea that he should take care to create a vision that mirrored the demographics of the nation as a whole, as a kind of special gesture or outreach, is to impose an anachronistic morality.

There were a couple of dual-statted Superworld/Champions adventures published.<br /><br />I found something about WoW legal issues on the Internet (which was why I was hesitant to claim it as fact). Unfortunately, I cannot immediately locate the source of that information.perdustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842738630442736894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589165667013235064.post-27128428968444110332015-03-27T16:31:00.763-04:002015-03-27T16:31:00.763-04:00Litigation?

Jerkwads the first set was an excellent gateway drug to other BRP games and the small rulebooks didn't scare off payers. I had plenty of MagicWorld, a brief futureword campaign and superworld was a goto game for when we couldn't get enough people together for a proper dungeon romp. It was. Aheck of a lot easier to get people into MagicWrld when it was 16 or so pages in addition to the BRP booklet than it ever was to get peope into Runequest.

However, in my opinion, it is hand drawn in a “clip-art deco” style.<br /><br />Incidentally, no credit is given to the artist. (Perhaps it wasn't deserved?) Then again, no credit is given to the editor (if there was one).perdustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842738630442736894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589165667013235064.post-49390114032723061812015-03-09T02:14:08.986-04:002015-03-09T02:14:08.986-04:00This is an interesting piece of history.
