Hey, uh...can I buy you a beer?

JoeGKushner rocks.

I've got one: "fluff" used as a pejorative. You know, the old "rules vs. fluff" chestnut. One is essential, the other is lightweight, airy...who'd notice if it were to simply blow away?

Numion--look at the spells. Varying mechanics abound. When there are spellcasters at work, books are consulted again and again. Barsoom--You've done it. You've used the word "fluff." It's such a value judgment. Rules vs. fluff. Rules being the things that constitute a game and fluff being...

I disagree with the word FULL. A rule-system does not have to be FULL of rules. A rules system can be a framework in which the DM does his thing. Or a rules system can be full of rules that tell players what to do with every situation, every event, every combination of eventualities--or at...

Oh, I forgot...."buzzwords" are BROKEN.

Trainz...forget the second assumption and go with your gut. :)

Change "postcount" to "XP" and the post-padding problem with swell to Epic proportions. That's right--26th level post-padding.

A role-playing game does not have to be "full" of rules. D20, however, is chock full of them. Count the number of mechanics in the spell chapter lately? Therefore, I think it's reasonable to claim that the focus of D20 is on the rules. There's so many of them...how can they be ignored? You...

No, never before. But in the spirit of the moment, I nominate the word "Trogdor" for instant annihilation and deposit in the memory hole.

*whisper* Psst! News flash! Those three witches were LYING.

Touché.

Shakespeare was the original Dude, dude. But I was from my mother's womb untimely ripp'd, so what do I know?

But you only have 552 posts. Clearly you need to give it some time, since you haven't been a member very long. ;)

See, I just said that. Now I understand how your postcount got so high - you steal other people's posts! :) -Hyp.

Bah, that's just jealousy. You know...jealousy? The green-eyed monster that doth mock the meat it feeds upon? That's the one.

That sting you're feeling...that's not postcount. That's pride, messin' with you. Actually, the biggest incentive to continually post is the Reply button. The Quick Reply button is even worse. And the fact that this is a messageboard? The worst incentive of all! Everybody knows you can't...

They're really good, too. I want THE TRIPODS!!!

I loved the books and the miniseries. (Hmm, gotta get over to that "TV on DVD" thread...) This would be cool. Beanpole! EDIT: Ugh. Disney.

I will cast a vote for "terrible," agreeing with reasons above...especially the lack of back-ups (!!). I think the writers are conscious of what they're doing. This whole season is about a mission into a distant region to find a Weapon of Mass Destruction. Oooh! *claps hands giddily* I...
