no Gareth. I was pointing out that you have been working very hard on D20 and have done some great work and Eyebeams shouldn't insult you and say that you just churn out books about elves. I guess you can't tell when someone is being nice to you. That conflicts with your previous statement...

Nah.. the fun is between me and eyebeams ;) Gareth is boring.

I've been waiting for someone to say this. I think perhaps you don't like it because your tastes are different. I do know from other posts you've made that you have a fairly eclectic interest in music that I can not and do not find inferior. You like things that I don't like, but I can at...

Ugh! Just… can’t… help... my… self links? More info??? I’ve talked with Anthony Valterra about this (when he was still with WotC) and he told me that there was very little psychological research on gamers available. And he said that such research was very expensive to conduct, so there...

Yeah, those are all great d20 supplements. Really Gareth, I don't have time right now to play this game with you.

that sucks links to their web sites then: http://www.mmw.net/ http://www.ozrics.com/ http://www.phish.com/ http://www.negativland.com/ http://www.gsbe.com/ You can get some free stuff from the negativland site.. they don't really like copyrights. I know most of the guys in the GSBE.

Sorry everyone, I just couldn't let this go: The horrible truth is that there is woefully little objective psychological research to support or refute your statement. However, what research does exist contradicts your statement (and no, I can't find a link to it). Please, please don't get...

PUH-LEEZE! First of all, I know several people with degrees in music theory. One of my best friends has a PHD in music theory (he also got a perfect score on the ACT and is a mathematical genius). He can do college level calculus and trigonometry and uses equations to write music. The best...

I knew what you meant.... You are, in fact, just the sort of person I'm talking about. Yeah. You are exactly the sort of person I'm talking about. I agree completely. Why are we arguing again?? Because I said PnP games are not as superior to video games as they once were? We both agree...

I prefer using "sci-fi" rather than "future." Sci fi is a broader term that can include retro sci fi and alternate reality, rather than confining the genre to only the future.

After you read the books, watch the movie: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6301412796/qid=1117507600/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-0158558-9509521?v=glance&s=video

i agree with a lot of what you say, especially this. I think that the trend in the past few years has been as you describe (more settings than modules), but I think that is about to change as well. WotC is doing more modules (or so they say) and other d20 publishers have been and are still...

that's my point. I first made the statement that video game were "clearly inferior." Arnwyn disagreed with that because her definition of "superior" means, "makes more money." Since I first used the term in this conversation, I get to define what it means. And my definition of "clearly...

you couldn't poor piss out of a boot with instructions written on the bottom! Jeez oh Petes! Dag Gaum! (I think its supposed to be pig latin for G** D***, but its not) Crapola! (an old lady I once knew said this a lot) Jesus on a pogo stick!

I thought Dragon Mountain was ok, mainly because I liked the matrix style of the plot. I also had a good time playing up the NPC Paladin. I like the 1e classic Quest for the Heartstone too, but that's mostly nostalgia.... I like it from a game design point of view because it is so hard. It...

holy crap! I saw a 30 second commercial for that the other day and thought it had to be a joke. I thought "hey, I didn't know I was watching Comedy Central." i thought it was one of those fake commercials you see on SNL and Mad TV.... I... reallly don't know what else to say.... The...

Vader just asked me: Do you use it in public? The catagory is "animal." I don't even want to know what sort of animal you "use" in private..... Then, I was thinking "Anchor" and on the 30th question he guessed "an ass"

I was surprised by the quality of Arsenic and Old Lace; A situation comedy that I thought was well ahead of its time. It’s a fast paced dark comedy about a bunch of dead bodies in the basement, two wacky old ladies, a delusional guy with a trumpet, and two impostors. And netflix has it. That's...

I've got a set of the old style (circa 1978) handed down to me from my dad. I don't use them though. I've also got a bunch of random dice that I've picked up over the years. I don't remember buying my first or second set.... I know it was at least 15 years ago, maybe 20 that I bought my first...

Yeah, in my homebrew there is a huge, world-altering war looming on the horizon. I've been building up to it for about 10 years, and it still looks like it will be a few more years until we get to it.
