<< This is almost as bad tasting as the Alf telethon I was forced to watch last month. >> Why? Why is this product any worse than, say, GURPS WWII, which allows players to roleplay soldiers fighting against the Nazis, or worse than RECON, which allows players to roleplay soldiers fighting against the North Vietnamese or Viet Cong, or Dungeons & Dragons, which allows players to roleplay adventurers fighting against the evil orc hordes, or Sengoku, which allows players to roleplay samurai fighting against the enemy samurai clans, or Traveller, which allows players to roleplay adventurers fighting against the "evil alien empires," or any other product with a similar premise? Oh, the terrorism thing is too close to home, some might say. Well, is it closer to home than the above products? Where do you draw the line of what tastes "bad" and what tastes "good?" It's not as if they announced "World Trade Center: d20" where players roleplay a rescue worker or (Heaven forbid) a victim.
