[RPG]: Empire of Satanis, reviewed by Thanuir (1/2)

http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/12/12636.phtml

Tommi Brander's Summary:

You remember the time a member of your group wanted to play an \"evil game\"? The one where everyone would revel in the evilness that your adolescent minds manifested? This is the game for that.

I applaud you for producing such a fair and unbiased review of such a dreadful game In fact, the description of the game is quite mild when compared to the low scores you give it, but I can't help but agree with both so I'm not complaining. Good on yer!

EoS is hilarious. My favorite part: the author gets tentacle sex wrong.

Getting tentacle sex wrong is an epic event, and the author should be applauded for such a feat of point-missing.

Curiosity getting the better of self-preservation, I must ask; how does one get tentacle sex wrong?

On that note, how does one get it right?

Well, basically, EoS has creatures called tentacled whores, women who have had their hands removed and replaced with tentacles. This is a divergence from the usual tentacle sex in which by-and-large normal women are raped by creatures with thousands of phallic tentacles. It's no biggy. Shame he calls it 'tentaclephilia'. I don't know if there's an official word for tentacle sex fanaticism, but if there is I'd bet on it being entirely in Greek, in which case it would most likely be Plokimaphilia or something similar. Nothing to get too excited about anyway. There's worse stuff in the source book 'Satanis Unbound', like the face-frying shamans who have to cut their own faces off to attract the giant crabs which their tribes eat. It's complicated. And silly.

I'd say that's not as much gettting it wrong as a refreshingly novel take on the subject.

Thanks. I know my Greek dictionary is MILES out when it comes to pronunciation, 'cause I asked the bloke from the local fish and chip shop to double-check my translations when I did Dreamcatcher (which uses a fair few Greek words) so I'm going to blame that

Why so much effort expended on vilifying this game?

I've read it myself, it's stupid, OK. Whatever. I mean, if a bunch of teenagers want to play this, go ahead. I really doubt any of us RPG nerds are actually going to hack anyone's face off for real. How is this different from a Rob Zombie movie (apart from the level of artistry, of course)?
