From publisher blurb:
The Real Mud Wizard
This character class was inspired by video footage of an environmental protestor who seemed to miraculously walk atop a quagmire of slorping mud, while the riot police wallowed and fumbled about. This activist, known as the ‘Mud Wizard,’ shoved these riot cops back into the mud every time they tried to get up, as if by magic.
The Mud Wizard, along with thousands of other climate activists, were protesting and demonstrating against the destruction of the village of Lützerath in western Germany in order to expan a coal mine by the government and utility company, RWE. Regional & national governments and RWE reached a deal to demolish the village for expansion in return for ending coal use by 2030, instead of 2038. The Green Party claimed that this agreement met a number of the activist’s demands, and also saved other villages from destruction, but the activists rejected this, stating it would do more harm and make it impossible for Germany to meet its commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement.
The footage, by Martin Lejeune, can be easily found on YouTube, with many commentors and news outlets having reshared it.
