A very fine retrospective on what RPGs can be. A slightly cautionary reflection, in some ways, on Market vs. Mind and Being or Becoming.

Well, to be light-hearted in response to the original Q. If after 143 pages of back-n-forth then I would guess that the two inevitable answers would either be 1) None; or 2) So many that it doesn't matter. ;)

Frank was a go-to guy at TSR for final editing as he had established great standards for such in the RPGA.

:ROFLMAO: Yeah. I suppose my reaction bears from having been given so many mss BitD to proof. If one can't get past the first printed page (about 2.5-4 typed pages, depending on the font, kerning, words/page ratio) then the ms is a wash. It's a sign of what's to come in fact. It's like a novel...

Hah! Since "Vecna" was a scrambling of Jack "Vance" I would never imply that either, especially an esteemed writer, was all "thumbs". However I do feel that @Morrus and Team are on a great path with this one for reasons stated elsewhere. RPGS have culturally grown in awareness; and that lays...

I've already given a big thumbs-up to this!(y)(y)(y) A couple more don't hurt. :0

Without Fantasy there would have been no D&D. Now it's time for D&D to repay the honor. I want a good "Fantasy" movie, period. A great story, a riveting plot, great acting and ACTION.

I really like the idea and will support the KS. More RPGs of this type--ease of set-up, ease of use, partitioned easily consumed portions--are needed not only as Introductory games but for a whole slew of other reasons. I can see a game (perhaps this one?) which is comparable to what the...

Yeah. But my adventure, WG5, was also a product that year; but come to think of it, they didn't mess the editing on it but did get one of my maps positioned wrong. But given the writing in the addie under question it doesn't even meet RPGA/Dungeon Magazine standards of the time.

Appears to be from what I read of it at the bog.

Good grief...

Well, consider how in the H--- this even got green-lit for publication!? I started reading a pdf of this about 8 or so years ago and never got past the first page.

I subscribed! I didn't know you were doing a RPG of such far-ranging content!

The Gort Knight! ;)

It's Fantasy. Just use magic, and poof, there it is. I shrunk a whole city and placed it in a bottle. One could do that for dinos as well. The infinite possibilities of Fantasy are, well, infinite!

I believe that all professionally inclined companies are attempting to meet and/or exceed expected/established standards in writing, design, organization, presentation and art, etc. I see EN Publishing in this case presenting a professional front similar to WotC and Paizo. Will they reach...

I find all of it passable and of professional quality with some exceptional ones (3) and some (3) which do nothing for me. I've never liked all of WotC's or Paizo's art/illos, nor all of TSR's. It's just the way subjective views roll.

Thus Sauron, a Fantasy name, with roots in Saurian, et al. The list goes on, but the point I responded to is that one could ignore all Fantasy words as made-up. Also no distinction as to whether they are derived, or whatever. Thus, your point, first paragraph affirms; the rest is based on...
