It's based on a whole series of badly written science fiction novels.
Check.

There is underlying, largely Nietzschen philosophy, which I don't really buy.
Bzzt. Would you like to play again?
The notion that it is based on Nietzschean philosophy has been pretty thoroughly debunked.
quote:
There is also a very elaborate code of conduct for slaves, which does interest me: how they should talk, how they should kneel, how they should serve food and drink, etc.
That part doesn't interest me at all. I don't bother with it, and I think it's somewhat contrary to Gorean aesthetics to use a synthetic culture as a model for Gorean behavior. Others will disagree, of course, but that's nothing new. It's certainly easier for people to go with what somebody has already done, rather than to allow a culture to emerge on its own. But this stuff is basically window dresssiing.
quote:
Just google Gor, and you'll find almost all of what you could want. It's certainly easier than reading the books.
It's also going to include a bunch of onlineisms. Which is not to say that you can't use that, of course. But it's got little to do with anything.
Health,
al-Aswad.
