We have a guest-blogger today. Hey, if somebody wants to say something about KTDARPG & has no other forum, "Chyna's Closet" is a good place for game-related thoughts. Sable joined the game in May 2006 & is one of the very few players who've included an animal companion for their character. Here's what she has to say:

Looking Thru Rose-colored Glasses

What made the TV Show ("The Tribe") so wonderful? Was it the story, was it the cool costumes? Maybe it was the campie soap-opera teenage melodrama. But the producer somehow always achieved a magic of looking thru rose-colored glasses with all the horrors around that were going on in the new world. At every corner, somehow the producer managed to get the idea across of "Keeping the Dream Alive". You knew deep down, the good guys would win. But it was also cool to see the fall of the bad guys. You knew the bad guys were bad, but the producer using his magic showed without showing, giving hints or clues to just how evil and what acts of horror they had committed. The producer used that rose-colored glasses effect on his show. Mostly because of his viewer audience. However, he achieved the creepy without being overly graphic. And just around the corner, maybe not in character actions but the music, giving an uplifting promise of "Keeping the Dream Alive".

Has this game turned too visually graphic, too dark, has our rose-colored glasses worked against us? Our path seems lost. Are we "Keeping the Dream Alive"? Isn't that the main story goal for this "KTDA" RPG Tribe game? -Sable
