I really like the Gor setting, but if I decided to run it, my more normie players are going to go Google the setting and get a bunch of misinformation back that I'm then going to have to waste time trying to disabuse them of. There's also the issue that the game is going to carry the baggage of the controversy around it. There's absolutely no reason why you couldn't run Goblin slayer in any old school fantasy game. That's to be expected though, since the Goblin Slayer setting might as well just be "Generic D&D Land". Grim Jim did a video review, and I get the impression it's just a generic fantasy RPG with Japanese mechanics. The heroes are heroic, the villains are villainous, and the good guys always win.Īs to the RPG, I'm reserved about buying it. For me, the chief appeal of the manga is precisely that it is almost completely sincere and without irony. I'll give the caveat, though, that from what I've heard the original light novels are considerably darker and more serious. There's a little dose of that in the early issues, but it pretty much dissolves as the manga goes on. I do disagree with the idea that it's meant as a serious satire or commentary on fantasy tropes. It might not be entirely inaccurate to call it "bubblegum-pop Berserk", but like a lot of manga/anime, it skates by on being charming and basically inoffensive. ![]() Haven't seen the anime, but I'd review the manga as a fun slice-of-life fantasy serial with occasional loving nods to classic D&D tropes and lurching shifts into grimdark. I read the manga, and do enjoy it, but I'm not going to claim it's some kind of amazing literature. ![]() Wow.It turns out Goblin Slayer is controversial even here. ![]()
