When I originally created LONDON CALLING, I named the CRO antagonist after the Irish/Scottish mythological hero Fionn mac Cumhaill. I used the noun Fenian, drawing from the title of Fionn's mythical exploits as part of the Fenian Cycle, as well as to draw parallels with members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood from the early parts of the early 20th century.  I was also using it as a way of trying to reclaim the word Fenian back to its original roots; for those unaware, the word has been co-opted by various right wing and Protestant religious groups as a derogatory term for Catholics and those who believe in Irish republicanism, and still plays a big role in a lot of sectarian violence and aggression. Being raised Scottish Catholic, I wanted to use the word in its mythical sense like the stories I had read as a child.

Over the past few months (and after some excellent conversations in the  FIST discord) I realise that this doesn't come across  as the case for a lot of people. It's a word that still has a lot of trauma associated with it that probably won't ever go away. It's important to look at all your ideas through a crosshair, and think about how what you create will affect other people; I didn't do that in this case. As such, I have renamed the CRO to Fionn and updated all descriptions throughout the book and Itch page to reflect that and make him more closely associated with the mythical figure instead of the word's contemporary usage. Nothing else in the mission has been touched and LONDON CALLING remains how it was when it was originally released for FIST CLASSIC.

I would very much prefer if everyone would download the updated version and begin to refer to the antagonist as Fionn moving forward.

On a more positive note, I would urge everyone to check out JAM OPS IV that's currently happening! There's 20 days left as of writing, so still lots of time to create something new or finish an old project. I've even heard rumours from a FIST contact that something is stirring in the London underground again...

Lots of love to you all - I still can't believe so many people have bought, downloaded, and played this module, and for that I'm forever thankful.
