Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdrakeh" data-source="post: 2792358" data-attributes="member: 13892">Nope - I'm perfectly open to discussion but I didn't see a lot of that going on here. I saw (as I always do in Forge versus The World threads) a lot of "Your favorite game  suxxorz! My Forge game roxxorz!" diatribe (and as usual, most of the 'suxxorz' complaints were completely baseless. What's funny is that I don't play D&D 3x or other d20 games on a regular basis (no, really) - but even I know about the 'Take 10' rule and the crazy amount of mechanical support for tactical gaming (not just tactical combat, mind you) that is built into the system. Dave, who claims to possess an intimate familiarity with the D&D RAW, apparently didn't know about either of these things until they were mentioned in this thread. And this is why I'm dropping out of the thread - discussion I can handle, but the one-sided denigration of other games that the detractor does not even understand the basic principles of? That's not discussion, Luke. I think you know better. If you want to discuss The Burning Wheel based on its own merits as opposed to adopting the 'It's better than...' platform, we'll talk. [Note: For the record, I don't think you a prick at all. I've had enough civil conversations with you in the past about Burning Wheel to know that the whole 'openly attack others from the soapbox of intellectual superiority' stance is new for you. In fact, when I read the troll over on RPGnet, I thought (at first) that somebody may have hi-jacked your userid. If you've finally embraced the ideal of 'Better than you! Nyah! Nyah! Nyah!' in earnest, then that's too bad. I kind of liked you as a normal guy with a good idea.]</blockquote>
