Here's the thing, the entire premise is damn sketchy, and I can't say I like it. And don't tell me "then don't play it".

If you were going to have a role playing game set in the United States set at the time of slavery about slavery, except you said the slaves were from another planet, not Africa, and some people played plantation owners abusing slaves? That would still be sketchy.

If you were going to have a role playing game set in the United States at the time of The Trail of Tears, only Native Americans were "insert random scifi thing here", it would still be sketchy.

But this is even worse, because you're dealing with historical events that took place *in living memory*. Take 9-11 and multiply it 200,000, and you'll start to get an idea of how touchy this subject is. People are not exaggerating, nor jumping on a bandwagon here. World Wars and genocide are serious business.

IF you decide to go ahead with the community, and at this point, I'd expect a lot of bad press if you do so because of how you've handled things so far, yeah, name it after something in the Harry Potter universe. Or use your imagination and make something up?

The premise is based on HP canon in that JKR has made numerous comparisons to the Holocaust and what happens in the books.

Thanks for the literature lesson, yeah, I know. Difference between books and role-playing.

Thank you, and we believe so as well or we would not have made the game the way it is.

I don't think it's entirely fair to jump on them for using the canon that JKR has already set. The author has already paralleled WWII, with setting these canon events at the same time as WWII. The game is just playing out these canonical events. As long as they keep the game within the realms of the Harry Potter series....

Thank you, and we do try our best to keep it within the realms of the canon already put in place.

Honestly, without the Holocaust angle? I see it way more as a 1984 or Brave New World type of game.

It's certainly not my cup of tea, but my issue is with the name and the desire and attempts to pointlessly tie it in with the Holocaust. There are a ton of fictional dystopias out there. The Potterverse was one where it almost happened, twice. I can see why it'd be interesting to set a game there - I just don't think that game should have anything to do with the Holocaust.
