So I was preparing for a game with my daughter, who is 12, and I'm digging through all the stuff I have on my shelves, stuff I'd bought in pdf, and random free stuff that I had saved.
And I run across a game I had saved a while back for Fate Accelerated called Princess Drive. Its basically a magical girl mecha style game (something similar to the anime Magic Knight Rayearth). The setting is only about 15 pages, just a vague outline, but what is there is enough there that I like to want run it (and I can just slightly adjust things I don't).
I like Fate Accelerated anyway, and the changes made are really thematic to magical girls (like the approaches being "virtues" like love, kindness, trust, etc). And it was something I downloaded for free. Plus it seemed like a game that my daughter would like.
Then I noticed who wrote it. Topher. Now, I don't like Topher. He is about everything wrong with the slacktivist social justice warrior movement. After realizing it, I could even tell in the opening (which I had barely skimmed before).
But really, it doesn't hurt the game itself. I didn't even pay for it so it wasn't like I was giving money to someone I hate. What is your thoughts on games made by people you hate? Do you play them anyway if you like them? Does it sour the game for you entirely?
(Another one for me is Mouse Guard. I like it, though its very narrative so some here might not, but Luke Crane is a huge ass).
