[QUOTE="grodog, post: 424255, member: 1613"] Well, I can't speak for everyone Sayburr, but Hackmaster defintely gives me the impression that it's not a serious game. I'm also not a fan of the KODT comic (mostly due to its portrayal of gamers), so the humor of Hackmaster doesn't appeal to me much on that level, either. I realize my antipathy to KODT means that I'm the exception, rather than the rule, but the association that I make between KODT and HM is another strike against me taking the game seriously as a game/system (vs. as a joke/parody game product like Hol, Slayers Guide to Female Gamers, etc., etc.). Oh, I'm sure many non-HM players/fans will buy the adventure if it's marketed well. And it may well open some folks' eyes to glory that is HM. Others will just buy it for the authors and contents. Does that really matter, in the long-run, though? A sale is a sale is a sale, right? [/QUOTE]
