Urgh, people

RPG ads these days. Do people who write them never read their own writing out loud? It's a great way to get a real feel of how well/crap you've done. I read this one out loud just now and Liz was pulling faces by the second paragraph.

So many RPG ads read like the back of vanity-published books, or just a really really bad book you'd not pay for if you came across it at a shop. Urgh.

What the hell was that?

And what is it named after a drink without the "B" XD

A bunch of "stylish" crap, that's what it was.

It's pretty common for Japanese to name something with a foreign name to give it more appeal (Clé de Peau by Shiseido hint hint), when Westerners do it it's downright laughable.

"Accardi, because it doesn't mean anything, it makes it that more mysterious."

A Cardi: resident of Cardiganshire. Maybe they've really landed in Aber. The Sons of Dwr cross fandoms.

I just had a mental flash of grandpa Crawford in a cardie and hornrimmed glasses. No doubt smoking a pipe.

Oh god. o.o

It was poking out the trash. How sharp was it, I wonder.

I thought it was funny, which probably isn't the reaction they are going for...

LOLOL what irrelevant garbage. I read it through once and I didn't have a clue what it was all about, read it a second time and I was still clueless.

That RPG is obviously doing it wrong :<
