... What exactly is the plan? You want older players to admit that d20 fantasy is D&D? George Washington couldn't tell a lie, and neither can I. You can disagree if you like, and I'll respect that, but (and I'm only using your quote as an example, Whizbang, this message is to the d20er's)...

In any real scheme of things? No. It's just an opinion. Some folks may be overly attached to some things, but I think most people just shrug off opinions they don't agree with instead of really letting said opinions offend them. I started referring to 3e as d20 fantasy because the rules...

It's a game. Anyone who is going to put enough of an investment into playing a game that PERSONAL respect comes into play, is too much of a freak to be in my basement. We want to play a game, not have discourses. We all know the rules, we all go by the rules. If a rule doesn't cover a situation...

"It's what your DM thinks that is important, not what I think." "The DM is final arbiter of all rules." -Gary Gygax, Dungeon Master's Guide. Yes, I know, the 3e books subtly communicate that the DM should always be challenged, and is always wrong when he deviates from the rules as written...

People who are not inclined toward strategy hate restrictions. And love anime. On the other hand... sounds l33t, d00d. My bitchin' anime adaptation/groovy seventies van art concept is kewl. Can I play in your game? Pleez?

you guys are all about beating dead horses, aren't you?

Only if you get the DMG II XD Besides, I think durance only applies when you're half kobold/half vampire/illithid defender/dragon farmer/dragon knight/demonic expert/infernal commoner/knight of holy demonic infernal dragons/bitchin' anime adaptation/groovy 70's van art concept has taken the...

LOL! This may lend some credence to my "3e is not D&D" argument. OF course, feel free to disagree, most folks who play 3e do. ;) I gotta tell ya, 3e modules actually can be played if one ignores all the d20 babble, uses the 1e MM for all applicable monsters, and generates stats for...

This isn't a problem, man. It shows you have TASTE! ;) If you're in Cleveland, look up a store called the Warzone. Hands down, the BEST gaming shop.

I don't dislike older artwork, but I like when the newer artwork takes a break from the goofy, over the top anime style the artists currently hired are obsessed with. For instance, Heroes of Horror has some GREAT artwork! But Unearthed Arcana (d20 Fantasy) looks stale and boring to me.

I actually do not allow mutli-classing in my games. MY reason is because I feel it detracts away from suspension of disbelief on the grounds that skills degenrate when neglected. The classes in D&D or d20 Fantasy are things that must be honed, in my opinion, and in the 1e and 2e DMG it's stated...

Never. The Mages' guild will buy them, but not sell them. Other folks are wary of such things. There has been a few classic pulp situations where some rare artifact was purchased without knowing what it was, but that was an adventure hook and not a chance occurance.

First off, who are you and what have you done with PapersandPaychecks? :P Secondly, you've done an admirable job of keeping our favorite game alive, and this is just another chapter in what I hope will be the success story of OSRIC. What's more, is you're free distribution only further...

Questionable morals aren't the problem. Uninspired work in the creative realm is always crap. Lead by example? Cite an example and I'll clarify.

Yeah. For me to poop on. :D

You don't get joy from the feeling of accomplishment? You don't find the puzzles and questions that are posed by stretching your imagination entertaining? My word, I hope you don't ever decide to produce role playing products. Those types of challenges constantly present themselves. If money is...

Chess is the OG wargame. RPG's were born from wargames. And I have to diagree, I don't find it boring at all. I've been playing it since I was 9 years old, and to this day I still surprise myself. It's very interesting to see what other people's philosophy's on defensive/offensive strategy and...

Same experience here. Every Swede and Finn I have ever met (and there have been many) has spoken English with precision, many of them were able to speak with both American and British accents and dialects flawlessly. I would be surprised to encounter a Swede or Finn who had trouble reading...

I still haven't recieved my first Dungeon, and I'm getting a little iritated. I'm glad I checked the "Bill Me" box, because Paizo isn't going to see a dime till the first issue arrives. I've been screwed on subscriptions in the past, so I tend to distrust most things that involve me sending...

I think Card games are crap because I find them to be juvenile. Noone is being forced to agree with me. Besides, that was a comment made in passing. The larger point behind my original statement was that lots of folks who play rpg's also play card games. the two hold hands, more so than rpg's...
