Meretzky's gift for prose and his [[DeadpanSnarker sly wit]] are his claims to fame, and feature heavily in almost all of his works. He intentionally courted political controversy with ''VideoGame/AMindForeverVoyaging'' to boost sales, but the plan didn't pay off. He then decided to [[SexSells use sexual content]] as a marketing hook instead, in ''VideoGame/LeatherGoddessesOfPhobos'' and TheSpellcastingSeries, to greater effect. This has given him something of a [[DirtyOldMan ribald reputation]], but his current output is entirely family-friendly.
