Depends on the gaming group, I reckon. Judging from what I have seen posted here in the forums, most of our fellow forumites appear to belong to groups that would either embrace it or at least find it somewhat amusing. Me...not so much.

It's quite silly, but I don't actually find it funny. Not offensive--just not funny.

It would be a logical and interesting book to write.

That's essentially Gene Wolfe's BOOK OF THE NEW SUN; a boy raised to serve the despotic Byzantine autarchy is exiled for the crime of mercy. After many adventures and self-discoveries, he becomes pope-king of the world to discover that the only "progress" possible is to slow the inevitable descent into barbarism and chaos.

Ouch, the worst thing that can be said of a comedian. Also the same thing my grandmother said after watching his special with me.
I think that that qualifies you as an official fuddy duddy. lol

Some of his stuff mildly offends even me, but I think that getting offended occasionaly is good for the "soul".
