[QUOTE="Arauthator, post: 4004056, member: 46168"] The suggestion wasn't one of where he didn't make ANY rules heavy systems, it was a point being made, that he put out 2 very fine systems that were not. Better known as alternatives. But we'll come back to that later. You opened up a whole new can of worms, young grasshopper. However you think I spread false statements is beyond the Great Abyss, which translates you into calling me a liar, bold words from somebody that doesn't even know me. You grasshopper, may read this interview and see for yourself that he is all about role playing, not rules. That my friends, translates into seeing the RPG's of today's world, as rules heavy because when they do get away from this emphasis, they concentrate on rules and turn you into their rulebook slaves. DnD was in it's original creation, designed to be a role playing game, not a table top hack and slash with comic book powers. Which, the later is I.E. "Rules Heavy".
