[QUOTE="kroh, post: 1470331, member: 16768"] [b]Pickin it up[/b] Definately going to pick it up. IMHO, there is no longer such a thing as an orignal idea. It is how the old ideas are used that make them appeal or don't. I mean...when you think about it...Most of what you read in the "Save the Day" category of fiction goes all the way back to Beowulf anyway ( Monster= problem, Hero brought in to solve monster...hopefully things work out). So anytime anything new comes out...it is just new packaging of an old box. But it is a box that we all love or else these message boards would be empty. I think the material that has been put out so far has been outstanding. Gotta give the team props for doing such a wonderful job. Congrats to Keith Baker for winning the setting search and for pitching such a good idea. Thanks to Johny_ONiel for putting up a great site. A lot of times people look at this stuff and forget that some one had to put this together and give blood (papercuts), sweat, and fears ( of the whole thing crashing) to make these products a reality. I mean lets face it...if not for the OGL and setting searches and things that breath in new lifeblood... A lot of new gamers wouldn't be doing DnD and we would all eventually be playing Everquest online. And if anyone out there finds my little rant childish or whatever... TOO BAD!!!! it is an opinion and I am entitled to it...Besides, i could fit the entire world's opinion in the coffee cup next to me...So unless yours looks like mine...i really won't be paying much attention to it ...although... you are entitled... Thanx for the minute... WalT [/QUOTE]
