A nice listen, and a surprisingly sympathetic review. :)

One thought re the racism and other poorly-aged stuff: I read a phrase like "mutant-lover", in-universe as well, as a vicious slur marking its user as a nasty bigot. No objection to the general arguments that there's an awful lot of insensitivity here, obviously.

Also: are we ever going to get the final update on your TEW campaign? Or is Altdorf Redux actually the final episode? It seems to end before the final coronation.

I can't remember what WHFRP scenario it was we played, I think it was this, but we never played it again afterwards because it was so stultifyingly dull.

Actually, that was the Doomstones campaign. It was about 30 years ago and I confused the two. We were traipsing around finding discarded pages from the Old World's only orcish diarist with clues about the location of the stones.

Nooo! Not Downtown Abbey! The class relationships are so romantically glossed that they bear very little resemblance to the real power of the upper class and their complete domination of their servants.
