[QUOTE="Olive, post: 1005287, member: 1297"] I'm not going to keep arguing the rules with you as you don't seem willing to actually do so. Needless to say, until you actually give me some concrete examples, i remain unconvinced that BRP is in any way better for anything than d20. I, however, will point out a few things. WotC market research tells us that, despite popular opinion in some sectors, the average age of DnD players is something like 18-35. Or in other words, the average age of roleplayers. Every poll on this board has borne that out. This has caused WotC to aim their products at a higher age bracket than they did previously, leading to the huge number of complaints on these boards when Dragon magazine has words that the boards won't let me type in it. Furthermroe, if the presence of d20 and BRP stats in a Chaosium CoC product (and as far as I know Pagan is the only other company that has the right to publish CoC stuff at the moment), is impingment well then you might need to grow a thicker skin. All the dual stat products so far have been identical reprints with extra stat blocks. How pwople become so obsessed with a rules system that the mere presence of a kind of stat block some how ruins the product is beyond me, but needless to say I don't think it's d20 players who need to grow up. I still think that BRP CoC players should be pleased. I could care less what version anyone else plays (something that you should prehaps consider adopting as an attitude), but the fact that d20 vastly outsells BRP should help to make sure that CoC prodcts keep on coming for sometime to come, or even start to be produced with more regularity. If the products get dumbed down it won't be the fault of d20, it will be the fault of prejudices that d20 is some how a morons system, predjudices that aren't borne out by reality. [B][/B] You're missign the point. People should play whatever they want. If they want to play BRP then mroe power to them. If they feel that d20 does the job, [i]then why does that bother you so much[/i]? Anyway, I should point out, as you're new here, that d20 bashing goes down pretty badly on these boards. Especially when you question the intellect of people who choose to like a system. It's just bad form. [/QUOTE]
