[QUOTE="Heretic Apostate, post: 322802, member: 696"] Mostly the fluff text. When it came down to it, I collected RPGs for background material. I liked the diverse cultures. I'm sure there were equally diverse cultures in Sword & Sorcery, but the setting didn't appeal to me. Anyway, it had always been my intention of cobbling together the "perfect" RPG system. I liked a little bit of stuff here, a little bit of stuff there, and so on and so forth. I think I finally narrowed it down to a heavily-modded 3E/d20, borrowing extensively from GURPS and Alternity. But what would I have done with it? It would have been copyright violations to release it. And I didn't have a gaming group to play with. (There are no gaming shops within 30 minutes of here. The comic shop guy who used to sell gaming stuff now only sells Warhammer and Pokemon, in addition to comics.) But, instead of working on the system, I always was buying just a few more items. [Bear in mind, I had a HUGE collection. One-thousand one-hundred thirty-six items. (Including magazines, of course, though they weren't as big a part as I thought.) I probably spent $20,000 on that collection. I'll probably not get more than $4,000, after everything is auctioned off and the proceeds split.] Okay, now that's off my chest, I'll have to add Last Days of Constantinople to my list of least-liked items. Just for the record, I am a HUGE Constantinople fan. So I bought this adventure for the information about Constantinople. And they killed off my favorite city. Argh. :mad: [/QUOTE]
