'''Anon1''': Our DM has a practice, which he calls "The Palinka Effect."
'''Anon1''': Basically, he takes a [[Mary Suetopia|utopian setting]]--whatever it is, it doesn't matter--and edits it so that it somehow shares a land border with [[Yugoslavia]], adjusted for the time period.
'''Anon1''': He then runs through a century of history, treating that location as though it were a historic part of the Balkans. When he is done with that century, he presents the setting to us.
'''Anon1''': It is usually worth playing in. We applied this to Aldis, the kingdom of [[Blue Rose|blue rose]] that receives all the attention (personally, I think Lar'tya would be cooler but whatever) and ended up with something too funny -not- to play.
'''Anon2''': That... is fucking magnificent. I mean, there's [[Deconstructor Fleet|deconstructing a setting]], [[Up to Eleven|and then there's... that]]. That's putting it through a machine, [[Darker and Edgier|a grinder made of dark steel]], with gnashing teeth [[Reality Ensues|of cold, hard reality]]. Your GM is amazing.
'''Anon3''': Interesting. Why the Balkans? Surely putting it in the heart of Africa would be crueler?
'''Anon1''': Too direct. Africa is merely a [[Death World|violent shithole]]. This way, the country [[Fate Worse Than Death|slowly becomes Yugoslavia]]. It's subversive.
