  1. It entirely depends on who wrote it or recommends it.

  2. Smartass title doesn't lead me to believe this game is a serious look at economic injustice.

  3. Seems more like the name of an article than the name of a game.

    FWIW, I'd read the article :)

  4. The game's about what happens when adventurers come home from an adventure. They've got cool loot, how do they use it to pay the rent?

    "Stats", such as they are, are your Assets, Bonds with people, and Credit in communities.

  5. Ahh, I see. I totally didn't get that impression from the title. That actually sounds rather amusing as an add-on to an adventure.

  6. John Hattan The name is undergoing revision. Yesterday and for months in past, it was "Dragon World", as this started as due to some things I dislike about Dungeon World.

  7. I'm gonna be honest and remove what I know of your game from my brain. I'd have to say "no", but I think some of your choices put me on the edges of your target audience. And that's totally okay!

  8. Aaron Griffin Admittedly, personal finance simulators are probably a weirdly small demographic!

  9. William Nichols It's the word "privilege" that does it for me. Seems to indicate the game contains a layer of deeper real-life things I usually don't want in my games

  11. Power&Privilege sounds overly serious and like it's going to try and educate me.

    How about, "Spoils, ???, Profit!"
