It was noted in the front page news back in December, but I wanted to re-share the Ehdrigohr RPG Kickstarter. Rules-wise, it's based on FATE Core, but it's really the fluff that draws me in. It's a decidedly non-Eurocentric take on a fantasy RPG. I've seen it described as a mashup of Lord of...

I think of it like this: We are our cultural heritage. The myths, fairy tales, lullabies, etc that our parents teach us as children don't belong to any particular person or company, but are a shared basis that defines who we are as a culture. Copyright law is in contrast to that; it gives...

I heartily concur. I didn't start gaming until after 3e was out, but I've really enjoyed going back and reading all the old 2e campaign settings. It makes me really sad to know that that kind of creativity isn't economically viable.

I never use ignore lists; I have no idea if I'm on anybody else's. Honestly, I don't really understand why you'd want to use them. Doesn't it make it confusing to read threads where you start seeing responses to posts that aren't visible to you? I'll apply my ignore function in my head, thanks.

I'm going to guess that was a rare special incident. Paizo's customer service people generally have a good reputation, and every incident I've had (a couple of issues with address changes, one book with a damaged binding, etc.) were dealt with within hours.

Are you just being deliberately obtuse? Here's a last stab at explaining how it works, as pedantically as I can. The clustering of the results is an empirical measurement. What you choose to call each group is, obviously, subjective. That said, one typically looks at what kind of common...

So, your response to statistical evidence showing that there are "clusters" of preference that can be loosely described by the above descriptors is to stick your head in the sand and yell "nuh-uh!"? ------ I'm going to refer you Malcolm Gladwell's excellent talk on what we can learn from...

OK, calm down for a moment. First, you're WAY overreacting. Second, you're arguing against something that nobody here has claimed. The WotC marketing research used a statistical mechanism called clustering. Basically, you ask people a bunch of questions, and then you use statistical...

Or you draw the definitions differently. This is one of the reasons why I buy into GDS much more than GNS. Here's my opinion on how things work in GDS terms: Gamist - Something that is enjoyed by the act of overcoming some challenge. In-game balance (as in, all the characters having equal...

I think Marius raised from very good points when he said it all boils down to pride. I'm doing to take a related tack and say it all boils down to identity. We're not just talking about a hobby, we're talking about something that people sink vast amounts of time, money, and emotion into. It's...

Halfway to funded! Bumpity bump!

FWIW, GM Sarli was an author of SW SAGA edition, and the FAQ has been significantly expanded since what it was originally.

You might want to check out e20, being done by GM Sarli, one of the authors of SW SAGA. He's about halfway to meeting his patronage-model target of $10K to write the game. If you're interested, please consider supporting it!

Pretty much all modules, thanks to Paizo APs.

I agree with a lot of PlaneSailing's points. I was really hopeful for 4e: I really liked some of mechanical simplifications I saw in SWSE, and I was even open to a transition towards per-encounter mechanics. What threw me off the train, however, was the radical changes to core concepts that...

It helps if I actually click reply in the proper tab. ;)

I hate to necromance this thread, but I finally pinned down what bothered me about this whole discussion: the quote's not originally from The Incredibles! The earliest I'm aware of it is from Gilbert and Sullivan's The Gondoliers (1889): "If every one is somebody, then no-one's anybody."

EDIT: Oops, wrong thread.

You don't want to know my opinion of Mark Rothko, or Cy Twombly. ;-)

Nope. Those just sound like par-for-the-course comedic to me. I would expect something whimsical to apply to something with more of a dream-like or surreal quality.
