The art and setting are brilliant. Went and grabbed the PDFs just for the art, honestly, and got sucked in. One thing I've noticed there are people who pop up and talk about how much the game offends them whenever you bring it up in rpg forums. Accusations of bigotry, ists, and isms simply because the world is portrayed as ugly and imperfect. Most of it seems overblown, as controversy often is these days.
I'm currently putting finishing touches on my character for Session 1, and the only real -ism I noticed is sexism because so many women NPCs, for some godforsaken reason, have sex tied to their identity. I'm not bothered by the scantily clad art, that's fitting. But, you know, tying sex as a personality trait to women's characters just feels icky. Either way, nothing you need to implement to that degree into your own game, so I'm fine.
Your channel truly feels like a treasure trove for RPG that keeps on giving. The way you present your videos is always so sophisticated and is amazing to watch. Question, if I use the discount code in the description, does that give you some sort of kickback? Or would donating trough Ko-if be better to show some support for such an amazing content creator?
Thanks for the kind words! I don’t have any affiliate sales connection with SMV. Ko-fi is in fact the ideal way to give your direct support to the channel. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this series. This is the most comprehensive entry into this game that I have come across. Thanks for getting me into it. The artwork got my attention but you brought it home for me
Great series! Do you have any theory why Degenesis didn't make it as a ttrpg? I feel like that would be an interesting and valuable review/discussion for game designers.
Such an amazing story cut short :'(

I can't agree enough. One of the best reviewers for TTRPGs. Hope your channel grows well.

Such a shame that they shut down production for this game
Again I have to say you have made an awesome video on this topic.
I am currently awaiting the arrival of my first bundle of the books.
@@jasonbratley9924 I’m just so amazed by the quality of the physical books from SMV. I’m sure you’ll be happy with them!
They arrived and I have to agree.
Hakkal is a Jehammedan, but I really enjoy your video series.

Sucks on have an rpg line go out of business when you're in the middle of making a giant review series about it
It was kind of unusual, but SMV was super cool about it.
So it means this universe ends? Nothing more will be released?
Well, as it turns out, the primary creator Marko will be continuing the universe is other formats. So the answer is no, it will not end.
@@DaveThaumavore I hope the universe will continue to expand. The setting is so uncanny and original, it would be a shame, if it faded into obscurity.
