I'd make a bread and fishes jokes but that would be religion. :)

Presumably it's made for winning coin tosses (i.e. like a loaded dice).

Well my regulars are: Ireland... Gaelcon (Dublin) | My Report Warpcon (Cork) | My Report Scotland... Conpulsion (Edinburgh) | My Report

Well just one point of correction: I didn't say that he'd stated it was plagerised, I said that he'd implied that it was plagerised, which is a bit different. Having said that, if I was writing my comments on the review for the review thread I wouldn't have used a word like plagerised because...

Eventually? Once or twice? Strong point? Hell, I've admitted that I'm wrong so often on Internet boards (usually accompanied by an apology for talking bollocks) so many times I've lost count. To be honest, and I'm picking my words carefully here, if someone said that I can "eventually" give up...

Firstly, you're putting that in a twisted way, a way which is twisted such that it's not so much a question as your opinion on the subject. i.e. You've taken the actual question: "Why were people offended by the review?" and then taking *your* answer to that question: "Because it compared WFRP...

I always figured (perhaps wrongly) that if it wasn't "smilied" out, then it was cool. :) Confused... Why would using the British version/spelling/pronounciation of a word be less offensive than using the American version? I mean, it's the same word: we just pronounce it differently and...

Well clearly the people who vote for the Ennies are just a bunch of elitist D20 haters.

Could it be (just guessing here) that they sell a lot of Warhammer novels, which might then give them good contacts/influence/leverage at conventional book shops? (In the same way that White Wolf and WoC also sell lots of novels in conventional book shops).

It's okay, it's okay! I'm going! I'm walking! :) (...walking in a looking back over my shoulder kind of way, admittedly). :)

<sarcasm>But I thought the reason you weren't answering my posts was because you didn't disagree with the points I'd been making?</sarcasm>

And who precisely are they? As fair as I recall, most (perhaps all) of the people you disagree with have repeatedly said that they have no beef against D&D, and in many cases are fans of it. But if you didn't want to know why people like me were offended by the review, why did you ask...

You were taking advice from the advice column! :eek: Yeah, my feeling is that if I was playing a WFRP campaign I'd want to use the WFRP system because: a) It is specially written to support the style of the setting; b) I find having a different system makes the game feel different and helps...

Apologies if I'm being unfair here, but you only seem to reply to people who are slamming D&D. Where someone, like myself if I can be so bold, makes a reasoned point against the review, you seem to totally ignore them. So far, I've made five replies to posts of yours, attempting to explain...

On behalf of my ego I thank you! :) I've been busy. You know how it is: one moment the newspapers are full of FDR and the New Deal, then you get a bit distracted and before you know it you've missed a world war, a cold war, the fall of communism and a whole bunch of other stuff. :) Anyhow...

Thanks! :) Well I do feel I should just point out here that I play a lot more D&D than I play WFRP. We did one big WFRP campaign, on and off, for two or three years, but that has now finished. Although I did buy the WFRP2 rulebook, my playing experience of that is limited to a game at the...

I'm pretty sure that previous posts of mine (three of which were themselves replies to posts of yours) addressed that, so I'll quote from them here: And... And... And... I can't speak for everyone, but I hope those explain why the review offended me.

Oops. Just to clarify - in case my previous statement is taken as being political - when I referred to people calling for me to be put to death on account of my beliefs I was referring to RPGNet not the SE Asian country, and it was the ENWorld moderation policies that I was saying that I wasn't...

Huh? It's not as though it's particularly hard to get banned here. The rules are pretty strict. Dammit! Just thought of a really good metaphor involving the criminal justice system of a south east Asian country, but I can't say it because that would be political. :( (Not complaining mind...

Okay. Truce. :)
