It really is a work of art as far as epics go. Better than most of the classics (if not all of them). Putting in the time on this one is difficult for the keeper but I think well worth it, especially if you have a group where you can take breaks between chapters or segments. That would be my biggest piece of Keeper advice -- don't try and eat this elephant all at once. You have to do it one chunk at a time.
Great campaign, bravo. Nevertheless, sometimes the interview took weird turns regarding a certain "virtue-signalling" of the state-of-the-obvious about colonization, typical of the really sad time we are living in and that you can find in the Harlem Renaissance volume as well (the part where the author forbids to the players not to use the "N" word in a private gaming session, even though it doesn't match the historical content, was a bit caricatural). One doesn't become racist with RPG. If one wants to professionnally change the world, one should better be a teacher than a RPG author. When will the entertainment accept the idea they are not here to "educate" the audience in a lenino-stalinian way? Good thing is that speaking of gender/race gap promoted by the Western oligarchs avoids to have to address the issue of the economical gap between the ultrarich and the population they keep on looting wealth. You can throw Marx through the door, he will come back through the window: after all, extreme capital accumulation in his theorie is only a step towards communism. It seems he was right considering the ideology of the NWO.
I think Dr. Hardy is one of smartest persons in the hobby right now, and is a treasure.
I really appreciate that interview. I picked up the book on impulse back when.
