EUREKA
My most recent review is of the independent mystery game, Eureka by ANIM (Agency of Narrative Intrigue and Mystery) and it is a negative one. While there are core issues with the mechanics and ludonarrative
of the game, the biggest issue are the antiblack sentiments of the development team. It is not unusual for a TTRPG to harbor antiblack narratives. We live in an antiblack world, as any other black people
reading this are well aware, so I generally do not hold it against authors if some of it makes the way into their world. While it would make me happy if we were to see less of it, there are many antiracist
people out there who simply aren't aware that what they have written could be exclusionary. This is not what happened with the ANIM team. The ANIM team were racist to me, people to person, not through a lense
of fiction following my short review within their TTRPG book club. Right now, I haven't received an apology from any of their team nor have I been unbanned. They have told other people that I might be unbanned
at some point but haven't given a date nor have they taken any steps to contact me. I believe that the treatment I received is as important if not more so than the quality of the book and so, I've included it
in the review.
