[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3001754, member: 5100"] It's a code for the terrorist cell of which I'm a member. Actually, it's more just a reaction to things like ToB, which could have been really cool, but then had things like swords catching on fire instead of just incorporating sword styles. I'll get over it, but that seemed like a good description, at the time. Really, I've just not been happy with something undefinable about recent products. All the half-breed dragon-freaks in the "Year of the Dragon" have been more annoying than inspiring, IMO. "Races of the Dragon" pretty much exemplifies the sort of material that I'm talking about. The kobold entry could have been condensed to an "Ecology" article in Dragon mag and the rest was... well, I wouldn't use it in any game, ever. I don't know how to describe the flavor that's been turning me off, and I don't actually intend to insult anyone's preferrences. Calling it "anime" is probably grossly unfair. But I've kinda throw it into that same dark, sad corner of my mind that houses other knowledge like anime, furries, and Yanni that are really just a matter of taste, but still evoke Lovecraftian dread for me.
