[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 1770647, member: 22103"] Here are a couple of threads (one started by me) on the Dumpshock forums (a SR board) on this very subject: [url]http://forums-temp.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=5560[/url] [url]http://forums-temp.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=2648[/url] Needless to say, I wasn't surprised by the comments. I figured this would be the comment that raised the most attention. I [I]like and play[/I] both d20 (a lot I might add) and SR so I'm not sure why people are taking offense to my statement. Anyway, I don't really care. I'm sticking to my guns on this one. [I]On average[/I], a different type of gamer plays SR. SR does not attract the casual gamer. SR [I]is[/I] a much more cerebral game. Just look through some of the cyberware books. They are like reading an anatomy textbook. Remember, EN World is not a true cross-section of gamers out there. Many of the people in the groups that I'm in are casual gamers. They don't post on message boards and they don't buy a lot of books. They like to get together on the weekends and roll some dice and kill some stuff. They also don't play SR and probably wouldn't if given the chance (I asked them). Perhaps intelligence was the wrong word to use. Dedication is probably better. So let's all take it easy and save the easy attacks ok? I'm not sure it really needs it. Again, I would buy this argument if the quality of SR products was lacking. Of the top-10 best RPG books I own, at least 25% of them are SR books. The quality and innovation of SR products is amazing. SR is the perfect example of quality, not quantity. [/QUOTE]
