"Not every idea is a winner. The Braintaker is basically a walking Illithid brain pool; Free Cars are interesting, but players are immediately going to quote that “Killer Cars!” Monty Pyton sketch as soon as they find out what’s hunting them."

WHAT???

Monty Python, yeah. As if EVERY gamer EVER knows not only about Monty Python but can quote entire skits!!!!

It's the 21st century. I think it's safe to say that the gamers who are that into Monty Python could be into the new Gamma World but they clearly AREN't the target audience. This version doesn't seem to be going for nostalgia.

Let's jettison this antiquated notion of all gamer fandom being inextricably linked with Monty Python. Yah, they were funny but they certainly aren't universal.
