Re: [RPG]: Secrets of San Francisco, reviewed by Darren MacLennan (3/3)
I have to say I found this a disappointing review, even though I didn't read all of it.
It clearly shares much in common with some of Darren's other reviews. I haven't actually read them, but from what I've heard, they really weren't up to snuff either. I think he might have reviewed "Secrets of Spawn of Azathoth", or something with a title like that. The analysis he might have made of its armies of undead ninja could have been really off the mark.
Getting back to the matter at hand, it's clear that too little time was spent in this review on what really interested me - street cars and the Golden Gate Bridge. I know many of you wouldn't care about these topics, but these are particularly dear to my heart. I want to see more coverage of them in the book, and not so much on all that other boring Mythos stuff that other people expect. After all, I'm the audience for this book, right? Nobody uses all that other stuff - at least, nobody who matters.
I should add that the monster in Our Lady of Darkness actually does appear at the end of the novel to get a productive job in an ad agency. I'm not sure, though. I guess I could Google it, or ask someone who knows, or maybe even get up and actually look at the book, but it would interfere with the writing process and possibly cut down on the length of this paragraph. Besides, if we made sure our statements about a book were accurate before critiquing it, we'd never get anywhere.
In conclusion, breasts are funny.
