So, the motherfucker I was referring to in my post earlier today?

He’s taken it up a notch.

Now, not only are his products different because they’re not racist….but by implication, I am.:

From the same thread linked earlier:

“Maybe racist is the the right word for some attitudes in pulp, minorites and women were not equal to white males in the genre at all. And that is not cool.

And yes there are a lot of people who go around and use it, that is their choice”

Pretty obvious that I’m one of the “people who go around and use it.”

I liked this prick better when he was a wanna-be hanging around our booth at GenCon 2000. He was still annoying, but far less offensive.

So the yutz who said that he’s going to “take me on” in the D20 pulp field has started releasing his products.

Apparently, “pulp” to him means releasing re-packaged versions of his Mecha and Power Armor releases, with “Mecha” undergoing a search-and-replace to become “Mechanized.”

Gotta love his smooth branding skills, too, with titles like Mechanized Augmentation of Pulp Destruction. What the fuck?

It’s really pathetic…in public forums, he’s trying to pre-empt the charges that he doesn’t know DICK about the pulps….by playing the race card, if you can fucking believe that. He’s not doing “pulp”, y’see…..because “pulp” is OMG RACIST:

“Pulp Era writing focuses on powerful white Anglo-Saxon god-fearing males doing all kinds of incredible things and the women, foreigners and minorities were little more than one-dimensional villains, living hostages, or silly cartoon-like sidekicks…..I am an African-American male and I want to see people like me being heroes, not some silly racist sidekick saying, “Yessur Boss Man, Imma gonna do that”.

So, he’s doing “Neo-pulp” (which I haven’t bothered to point out to him is a term that I first used with my Heroes of the New Wave concept in September of 2003).

Not pulp. Neo-pulp.

Which apparently involves re-packaged mecha content.

Ah-hah.
