[QUOTE="scourger, post: 1712069, member: 12328"] [b]SOLD titles[/b] The only way I can respond to this is to give the books I've sold or traded as an indicator of blandness, in order of most bland to least bland: #1 - Gamma World. Terrible. So inferior to Omega World that I immediately sold it after reading it. There were a couple of small design and story nuggets, but that's it. #2 - Farscape. Never saw the series. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it. #3 - Everquest. Never played the computer game. Again, I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it. #4 - Oriental Adventures. Some good flavor, but overall a snoozer for me. #5 - d20 Modern. What can I say? It just didn't do it for me. Should have known from reading most of the SRD online. #6 - Slaine. A work with some good flavor completely overwhelmed by a sick preoccupation with blood sacrifice. Too bad, the adventures would probably have been fun to run; but I just couldn't have the players in a race for victims. Really sets the hobby back. Honorable Mention - Conan. It should have been awesome, but there was too much useless crunch overwhelming the awesome fluff. I gave it away, but it made its way back to me. But The Road of Kings is great, so maybe the property will do better in the hands of a true fan. [/QUOTE]
