"I'm a designer of colour who wrote this game to invite other BIPOC to explore vampirism without the stereotypical constraints prevalent in white vampire traditions. Please play the game with this intention in mind."
Seriously? Don't you think that people who give you money for your game should be able to play it any way they want? If you want to tell people how they should play the game, you should be giving it away for free. Once you accept money for it, it's not your game anymore. It belongs to the person who paid for it.
However, beyond that complaint, I do think a game focusing on bipoc vampires is a really cool idea so I'm not being totally critical.
I included that line as a request, not a rule, because I know that people will play this game however they like. I wrote that statement to express my intentions with its design and ask that they be taken into account—nothing more, nothing less. As with any polite request made by someone who lives in your computer screen, you are free to ignore it without fear of retribution.
Even so, telling people how to play the game is inherent to games as a medium. Games are what they are because of the rules by which participants agree to abide.
Also, I am giving it away for free; that's what the Community Copies are for.
Thank you for expressing your support, though I admit this is a rather odd way of doing so.
