WTF!

No, really, that’s what it’s called.

The time/space continuum of Azimuth has enfolded. A Rift Lord’s unwittingly opened a portal from the earthly netherworld, and the place is crawling with infamous historical thinkers, like Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Mary Daly, each of whom is trying to enlist your help in effort to figure out WTF Azimuth is all about. And… as you might imagine, there’s plenty of conflict as they attempt to make sense of the ways in which, as Mary Daly puts it, “the game naturalizes a Western militaristic heterosexist hypersexualized patriarchal capitalism, played out in relation to a spiritually infused race war – kinda.”

Plus, you can play a gnome.

    Humanities majors.

    I was unaware of this for the longest time, but apparently some of those fields are considered to be “social sciences” and the people in them will get pretty miffed at you if you call them “humanities.”

    Yeah, I called one a humanities major once, and I had to dodge what would have been a really nasty hit from his fry basket.

    Soft sciences. :)

    So can you smoke cigars in the game, and are they just cigars?

    Got to be careful, oil burns from a chip pan can be nasty.

    That said they’ll have the last laugh once one of them cracks Asimovian Psychohistory.
