Hey, he asked what it meant :)

as far as I am concerned

Anything Blood and Guts, if you like military modern. Anything Blood and Space if you like space future. Anything Darwin's World if you like Fallout-flavored post apocalyptic goodness. Really, I've never bought a product of theirs I didn't like, but the Darwin's World II stuff is my favorite.

My Midnight campaign uses Riddle of Steel. You can see how it plays out in my story hour (link in signature). People either love it or hate it. The thing is, there's no hit points. A dagger will freakin kill you in TROS. The whole point is to not get hit first. Wading into a fight with...

No, it doesn't fly with me. Despite the fact that it is impossible to write anything, ever, without it looking like other things (even things the author never read before), the topic of Tolkein being allegorical is very old, very well hashed out. The resemblance to WWII society and events is...

There's certainly interest in star trek, and D20. If it makes it into a netbook draft, I think you'd get a lot more response. Likewise, posting in the BlueRose forums. However - there is, in the pipeline, an official D20 Star Trek system coming out some day called D20 Prime Directive. I...

And yet, other people have fully-baked opinions based on actually reading it, and some people even post because they are joining a discussion on a particular topic, with little expectation of glory. As for me, I want to rule the world and I expect my posting to accomplish that in the next, oh...

BUUUUUUMP! "More, please." :)

Yeah but at $16 for the PDF it isn't going to kill me to just disregard the 40 pages that are setting info. I'm really glad they made it very easy to separate mechanics from setting.

Yep, Amber. Mutants & Masterminds is amazing. Ars Magica is conceptually really cool. To those, and the previously mentioned GURPS and World of Darkness, I'll add Riddle of Steel (www.theriddleofsteel.net). I've heard HeroQuest is worth checking out as well.

CBaize, any chance you'd post all this in a wiki or PDF or .Doc file or something?

ULRUZ The summer campaigning season sees a brief flareup of rebel activity, with legions being deployed especially in the north and west to deal with the unrest. By end of summer, things have once more settled down into simple discontent, but a sense of fear pervades many social circles, as...

Create what? Nonono. Just don't use the chapter on Aldis. The rest is bueno. Of course, if you don't think so, don't spend the $16 on it and everyone's happy :) EDIT: And of course, if you like Romantic Fantasy I think the Blue Rose setting probably will work out great for you. In that case...

MMORPGs are (for now) a radically different experience than RPGs. I haven't really lost a player to MMORPGs. Well, one guy for six months but he came back.

Decent enough satire :) Still, if the apple pie has the best crust for quiche, why not apply it to quiche. Not everyone likes apple pie (damn commies!), and if there's a market for their existing line in the quiche field, cater to them. NO GODAMMIT! MY CRUST SI TEH 4 APPUL PI3 ONLEE! <--...

GURPS 4th Ed. CJ Somethingorother's Witchcraft. D20 Modern/Future. Battletech (the whole collection). Plenty of 3E/3.5 OGC stuff. World of Darkness / Vampire the Requiem / Werewolf the Foresaken. Twilight 2000 1E and 2.2. Heck, pretty much all I do get to play is Darwin's World II...

Ok, that was posted a month ago and I don't think this discussion benefits by dwelling on it :) Not that I begrudge you your opinion that his opinion on other people's opinion is itself opinionated... heh.

OpenRPG, if you like a free utility with everything you'll ever need. ScreenMonkey from NBOS Software if you want something with a more slick interface (it's a commercial product after all). http://www.openrpg.com http://www.nbos.com/products/screenmonkey/screenmonkey.htm Also-rans...

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=QC7Sg8IBdI&isbn=1932442227&itm=39 - Blue Rose at Barnes & Noble website :)

Seems to me that everyone who is going to buy the book because of the system will do so anyway, and a lot of people are buying it because of the setting, have little or no committment (or even knowledge) of D20. I don't really see the Blue Rose decision to be a mistake in that light :)...
