People who relentlessly bash other systems or other people who say something slightly less than pleasing (to the zealot) about their system, or to sing the praises of their flawless system. I think this is a case of a few bad apples ruining the whole bunch for a lot of people, and most of what vitriol there is usually comes from a very small group. And yes, each system has their haters and zealots, so you end up with a zealot going and bashing another zealots favorite system because they perceived an insult on another thread, and sometimes the hate circle kinda hetrodynes out of control...Heh. No system is perfect, not even HARP, and I wrote it! But I do think that HARP comes pretty close though.... heheh <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />That's right, it is a rules forum. I had forgotten. But there is still system segregation, in that you have the d20/OGL games in one forum (their own), and all other games go into the General forum, along with every other topic under the sun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />If EN World is going to start doing reviews of other games and systems, then perhaps this is another reason why there should be a forum for Other Games. Thus it is in keeping with the idea of Other Reviews, and gives folks a place to talk about those reviews. By my way of thinking, not having a forum for Other Games, while having reviews of Other Games is kinda lopsided. Somebody may come to read the review, and then check the forums, and not see a place (clearly marked) in which to dicuss those reviews or those other games it might make them shy away from joining in on discussions. Having such a forum can help the EN World community grow as a whole.No, it is not the admins job to entice anybody to talk about anything, just to make sure folks don't get out of hand. Yes, but the signals are mixed signals. To me, they are saying, we will review other games, but they are not important enough to warrant a forum to discuss them in. Hey! Joe Kushner has promised me another review of HARP now that the ENnies are over! He did a review back when it first came out, but since then HARP was revised (and we added 32 pages while keeping the price the same, AND offered folks who bought the first printing a $15 discount on ANY product from ICE to make up for the inconvenience of revising the game 6 weeks after it was released). So now all I have to do is to remind him of that promise hehe...</blockquote>
