I'm inclined to agree. The OGL ended up fracturing the market in ways that WotC didn't intend with the release of variant core systems like AE, M&M, and so forth. That said, from a consumer standpoint, the OGL-movement was a huge success. Gamers got lots of new games that likely wouldn't have...

Anytime I hear the handwave of "you just don't understand" my BS detector goes off big time. I don't consider myself to be a dumb or even thick-headed person, so when a person can't properly discuss the finer points of a "theory" or can't explain what A or B doesn't fit into the grand scheme...

I'm glad you got some use out of what they have to say over there. I found it to be a bunch of self-important blowhards trying to show how smart they were. Not my idea of fun reading. I understand the premise behind what they have to say, I just think it's silly.

I poked my head in at the Forge just to see what a few people here and (mostly) on RPG.net were talking about. It appeared to me that it was a bunch of failed game designers using obscure references and intelligent sounding theories to describe why their pet system is better than any successful...

I picked up a couple of starter boxes from Wal-Mart the other day for grins. It's a pretty simple little game that's good for a pick up, but can get slightly boring after just a few plays unless you use some of the variant "advanced" rules that can be found all over the 'net. Kane

I enjoyed what D20 Past offered, but still wanted more. I'm glad that I purchased it, but I hope they do a second book over the subject matter.

I picked up the pdf yesterday and read through quite a bit of it last night. All I have to say is great job, Goodman. This is one of the few books I have in pdf that I will buy the print copy as well. Kane

I'll play just about anything. That said, the standard fantasy tropes bore my to tears these days. I tend to gravitate to settings like Iron Kingdoms, Diamond Throne, Etherscope (which looks great so far), and Darwin's World. My homebrew reflects those tastes as well with mixing fantasy and...

I once played a halfling rogue that got the nickname of Haldin Pinchinbottoms. Since the party was all males, the little guy with the penchant for playing grab ass with the party eventually morphed into a gay character. There were plenty of jokes all around, but overall it ended up being an...

That's some weird imagery there, and you know, I like how the thread is going down in flames. It makes for a fun ride!

That's what they all say, but they all come back!

I hear he really hates Adam Sandler.

Hehehehe...log...hehehehe

I hear that it's a really nice pen as well. It's a shame that someone worthy of such a fine gift won't get a chance to use it.

I've never gotten a gift like that, but my family and friends actually like me. Even if I did, I sure as heck wouldn't whine and cry about it.

As long as you believe that it's the right place to send money to, then thanks. (My name is Giles Kiser, BTW, in case you do do that.) You don't mind if I send a donation in your name to the American Heart Association? Kane

SR, if you're family and "friends" are actively getting things you don't like, has it ever made you wonder if maybe, just maybe, they don't like you all that much? From this thread it could be your attitude, maybe it's a subtle way of getting you to change? Although, in all honesty, I think...

CarpeDavid aswered your question for me, Thanee.

Why did it get all flowery smelling in here all of a sudden? ;)

I can see that! In all honesty, my fiancee is the same way. Me, I'd just pack up my stuff and leave...rather pissed, but I'd leave. She would leave nothing but a bloody trail of me across the floor! :confused:
