Because you're awesome!

The issue may be that you're thinking of the Wall Street Journal's list, not the NYT's.

Every record is a record "as far as we know." Or did you forget that record is a verb as well as a noun? A record is simply the highest or lowest recorded measurement in one direction or another. Nobody can say for certain who the fastest runner ever or the oldest person ever etc. were, and...

Wow. I remember that thread!

I think Umbran was referring to the fact that many of Shakespeare's plays are themselves remakes.

Pullo and Vorenus were both as real as Caesar, so have at it.

Which proves that not only does the internet attract people with a natural talent for kibitzing, but that complaint threads on the internet...well, you get the idea. Also, the fact that you've been seeing and posting in these threads for years undermines your claim that they're generalizable...

If all of your arguments depend on predetermining what is "safe to say" and then reflexively hitching your claims to that (otherwise known as begging the question), well, then good luck to you. Personally, I don't think it's safe to say what the company's motives are, and I know it isn't safe to...

A D&D analogy: the cartoon is to immature as a paladin is to lawful stupid.

First, referring to someone's post as "speculative drivel" is pretty vitriolic. Second, you attempted to point out fallacies in his logic, not his rhetoric. Third, your finger is not on the pulse of gamers. You have no basis in fact for any of your remarks about WotC other than your own...

Edited per Umbran's post. Waste of a de-lurk.

The dictionary defines professional linguists as people who write RPGs?

Weeeell, looking at your logic: 1. Cam said that 'justicar' is a misspelling, not a word. 2. I said that English speakers have been using 'justicar' for years, and did a simple google books search giving usage evidence. 3. You assumed that every instance of 'justicar' yielded by my 60 seconds...

In fact, like most combinations of letters used by actual speakers, it is very much a word. English has no equivalent of l'Académie française. But even if that weren't the case, English speakers have been using 'justicar' for hundreds of years. This kind of thing isn't hard to ferret out...

Stats are nice and all, but as I recall Borys got aced by some random dude. Clearly he wasn't all that and a bag of chips. Considering that in the original timeline, before he was made aware of the consequences of his actions, Raistlin killed all the gods and took their place, I don't think...

You have a pretty narrow view of imagination. And it isn't better to read a book than it is to watch TV.

Your memory of the original must be tinged by rose-colored glasses then. Highlander has always been a cool idea that writer after writer and director after director have been unable to capitalize on. At least this one had Methos. It's also possible that the Sci-Fi cut is worse than the Russian...

That's an interesting gloss on indie narrative games. Are we talking, say, Sorceror, or maybe something even further down that path? I can already see how this fits into some of the design ideas you've talked about on LJ/Shooting Dice in the past. This is the thing that always bugged me about...

And I would not have been one of them :p . Is this the Vigil from Duality Press? It sounds like a tough one to track down:
