Fair enough.

You just saved me a whole lot of typing.

"I loved it. It was much better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again."

It's too bad this thing couldn't have an NHL awards-style weighted system i.e. more points for a 1st place vote than a 2nd. Truly a rollercoaster of emotions! I read, I laughed, I cried, I voted. Then I moved on. But all entries were pretty great... really. If anyone has any hint of writing...

I thought I had this thread on Watch. Some good reads here folks! I'm only seven entries in and already have a top four that's resisting any whittling down.

The person I responded to just ignored me, so maybe there is something to that. Does this Lao Tzu have a newsletter I can subscribe to?

Honestly, as good as it must feel to think that, it's usually the other way around. Missing the fine print on the social contract. Luckily, malice is rarely intended, and objectively viewing the situation both through the lens of self-awareness and from the perspective of others generally fixes...

Gotcha. Sorry for putting words in your mouth! I wandered across this thread and noticed a few folks badmouthing your idea before even thinking about what it was they were badmouthing. Honestly, I was not 100% on board with your idea either but I dislike the sort of reactionary 'thoughts' that...

I assume that you missed this response of mine before you made this statement?

Err... I would prefer that someone disagree with me. You can do that in a respectful way though! When you don't, I'll let you know. That's all that's happened here, nothing more.

My bad, I introduced software development speak. It basically means designing from scratch, or starting fresh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenfield_project

I do like a counter opinion. What you were doing was just thread crapping. You're being a lot more communicative now. Progress! I am not the OP. I don't even love the OP's idea, partially for the reasons you presented (which you did in a pretty juvenile way, hence my response). I actually...

Not sure what you're getting work up about. Take a deep breath, take a walk outside, let your toes touch the grass. No one is attacking you or anything you believe in. Relax.

That's not at all the point. I think the angle here is to add verisimilitude without affecting game balance. If you have something constructive to add, great. Your post was not constructive though.

A few issues have been pointed out in this thread. Still think this is the kernel of an interesting idea though.

This doesn't mean that this is a bad idea. It's just a bad idea when implemented in a system where spellcasters have an existing advantage. Not sure I love this concept, but it is something to contemplate in a greenfields game system.

That's all sensible. What you're missing is that the way you make your points doesn't acknowledge anyone else's positions, which is effectively telling others I don't care what you think and your opinions don't matter. You're effectively attacking others when you post, but I don't think you...

For sure. But if it's not of value for you doesn't mean it's not of value for the game in the greater scheme of things. That seems to be a hole in the position you're taking. It kind of feels like you're putting your own needs, desires and biases ahead of everyone else's. Actually, more than...

Refinishing the dining room table?

That's quite a misanthropic take! Sorry this was your experience.
