amen!

besides, following the RPG.net thread on the subject, one comes accross some peculiar views on the subject... like that on posts 121 (read the end of it) that would explain how the dimissions of Ryan from the GAMA board might have a lot to do with the reviews in question... i think the link to...

no. but i've seen the "i've been misunderstod" self defence a bit too much... frankly, i'm stating to think that he's making it on purpose. that, or i should allow that a game designer (who earns his living throw writing and using words) suddenly forgets how to phrase a sentence in a way that it...

besides, as somebody else already asked, what has this thread, or Ryan's reviews for that matter, to do with any discussion of rule light vs. rule heavy game systems???

even for the casual reader? ever for somebody who doesn't read the credits of the D&D book line? even for somebody who doesn't use enworld boards? i don't think his bias is that obvious... just because you are/ have been instrumental in the design and success of a game system, it doesn't mean...

funny, i'm not... it seems to me that Ryan, not being a random fanboy, should weight his words much better. it's not the first time that i see a flame war starting because he was "misunderstood" or because he wasn't too clear... :) maybe he should pay more attention not to be misunderstood?

just because he gave 4 stars to the core book (a positive review, in fact), it doesn't mean that said review was correct at all about his claims of warhammer being derivative of D&D. as other people have pointed out, if i read in a review that game X is derivated from game Y, chances are i'm...

ehm... look again?

i'd say early baroque, which is even further down the history line. quest forforbidden knowledge that can damn the world AND your own soul? baroque (exploring the forbidden world of science sure wasn't as bad as messing with chaos, but is you had to face the inquisition, you wouldn't had been...

yeah, that's the new GW vision of the world... which most of the old time fans (i.e. everybody who hasn't started to play with the new edition of the game... i suspect is the bigger part of the market) don't like at all. what they did to the emperor or to bretonnia was cause of much aggro. also...

well, they could give envision a way for people with the paper version to have a discount on the pdf, if they want to buy it. like contacting them by mail and answer a couple of questions only somebody with the book could answer. or give the text of the pdf for free with the paper version. or...

i, for one, think that the session was a winner for everybody involved. you had fun creating the situation and the monsters and the plans. the players had fun twarting your plans and having luck on their side. everybody will have something to tell about this memorable session. what do you want...

i want a certain flexibility in character's creation. i want a free form-ish rule set that allows me to concentrate on the storytelling, improvise rules when the players what to do something unusual (as opposed to memorise a rule for 99% of the likely situations and then wasting time with rule...

oh, c'mon, he should know very well where his money comes from, shouldn't he? :) besides, on a loosely related note (not related directly to you Brent), i think this discussion is on the verge of derailing in an exercise of repetition and name calling. i will stop posting. if you have anything...

oh! i was forgetting... i never intended to try to legally define anything, because i'm not a lawyer. that said, if you still want to make that Oxford street run, i'll be back in england soon... i promise that, for a film of that to show to my band mantes and friends (males and females, rest...

very VERY OT, but this guy needs an answer! :) AAAAAAAAARGH!!!!! ANATEMA!!!! :D it's the worse day of my life! :_( man, you hurt me! :) ok, serious mode, now. well, everybody has their guilty pleasures. seriously, i had no problem with britney spears IF it was really her singing on the...

indeed. but the copyright laws is applied every time every version of the song is played live, by a radio, from a cd in a public event or venue, and so on. the payment coming from the sales of the media in with you have recorded the music (cd, mc, vynil, mp3 file, what has you) has nothing to...

well, i stand corrected. i did miss that. :) you were wrong.

simple: for example, you can't chose to buy a EA nba game with crappy graphic at a reduced price. so the fact that the game sells a lot is not a direct indication that the public would rather spend more and buy the product with flashier graphic no matter what. it's simply and indication that...

what about "you are all wrong, even if you agree with me?" :)
