The amount of pure copium in this product is amazing to behold, before you get to the plain text adventures with stock photos or mspaint art, you're met with a multi-page essay on why things back in the day were great and how today's adventures are awful because of... pronouns and... art by paid illustrators and... professional layout software, and *if only we could go back to MY childhood when things were actually PLAYABLE*, conveniently forgetting even the three little brown books were better presented and more professionally illustrated than this stuff.

I'd rather stick with artpunk games to be honest, at least those creators make things based on what they love, rather than getting their friends together to collectively despise something and tell you their way is the one true way... to pretend to be elves and dwarves around a kitchen table.

Ps. It's always hilarious to see people claim their games are free of politics, when what they mean is "free of things I deem to be political or disagreeable", the head-in-sand energy is strong here.

Yes you certainly seem very Zen and level-headed. I don't think you quite understood the essay, but you don't really have to.

I didn't know any of these people before they participated in the contest, and these are labors of love and genuine joy. That you would focus on a single sentence instead of the actual material is, well, it sort of proves the point of that single sentence. 

One true way? Who knows. I think I can encourage people to do better work for sure.   

Have a pleasant 2023.
