May I ask who did the interior art for the game? Itās just gorgeous!
My gut says Marcelo Gallegos, the artist for Demon Mark and Avatar of the Wolf, but Iād like to be certain.

It is Marcelo. The artist is always listed in the credits of the game.

I get the whole āhistorical accuracyā argument, hear it quite often, but this game is already modifying things for women and lgbt players so they donāt have to wade through tons of prejudice. Why is it forced on black players? Iām not black myself but I would be curious as to how black players feel about running into this language? I know I would be jarred and pulled out of the story if old words for lgbt people were thrown in for flavor.

Iām not the author, and Iām not the lead editor of the game, Iām not the sensitivity reader who reviewed the game before publication, and Iām not a black player, so I donāt know. However I stand by the statement that ānegroā is not a derogatory term, either during the time period the game was set, or to a large extent in the present day United States. It is a dated term, but that is not by definition derogatory.

I meanā¦growing up in a school district with like 80% black kids, Iād get my ass kicked if I ever said negro. The only time I would consider it not racist in casual conversation is if you said, āDo you want to go to the Negro League Museum?ā
In other words, ānegroā is really not an acceptable synonym for āblackā or āAfrican Americanā in modern society.

The game is set during a period where negro was the polite and politically correct term for African-Americans. (A period which persisted until the 1960s, when āblack,ā became widely accepted.) It is not a word most people find shocking. It would beā¦odd for you to bandy it on the playground as an insult and I suggest could only be perceived as an insult because it is a dated term. Iām not sure what else I can say about this; as you point out you havenāt said something ābadā or insulting when you speak of the Negro League or the United Negro College Fund.

Those are titles of organizations which is a very different thing than using the term in conversation or calling someone that.
Iām curious, were there black play testers for this?

I understand where @Mary_Duffy is coming from but when I was watching some movies from the same era or books from that era, the use of negro is a common term, not a degatory term equivalent today. The African Americans even refer to it themselves during that time, Iāll try to look for reference.
I do understand it was quite a sensitive term to use since we are all modern readers.
Yes. Please google āsensitivity readerā if you donāt know what that is.
ā¦I donāt think you need to look up any references. Maybe this is an age thing? Are people under 40 not aware that before āblack,ā or āAfrican-American,ā were widely used terms the term ānegroā was the politically correct term used in America by all members of polite society?

Fair enough. If black players are fine with it, Iām fine with it.
Itās not as simple as that, I donāt think. Iām perfectly willing to be wrong or to be told Iām wrong about this. But Iād certainly prefer a person of color was making arguments about why this game (which isnāt even out yetā¦) doesnāt work, as opposed to white Americans and non-native English speakers weāve heard from so far.
