    Otherwise the rules and adventures seem alright, and I've bought some.
    Hmmm...looking up the subject of LotFP artwork, as always online, I end up somewhere other than my destination. Evidently the self-appointed Forge God went after James Raggi in an OSR 'zine article at one point... for capitulating to "Victorian societal values". I find that a bit funny given the rather unflinching approach to artwork and subject matter in Raggi's products.

    It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.

    Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.

    The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.
