[QUOTE="CRG, post: 260032, member: 5867"] [b]Shadowrun[/b] Just want to say... Plenty of us buy books for the non-crunchy. The best example of this for me was Shadowrun (first edition, continuing on). Each of their books had this string of basically chat / message board commentary. Those books were EXCELLENT and a hoot. In those little snippets they dropped plot ideas, etc. Nothing concrete. Nothing set in stone. Plenty that could be adapted to any game (really). Plenty of place and people names. And my opinion, I'm not likely to buy FR for the FR rules (as they are usually way out of balance with whatever actual setting in which I'm playing). Frankly, I'm a history-guy and that said I find the "history" books a much better read than any of the GD Drizzt novels. I realize that I'm an aberration, so be it. I'd rather read the Silver Marches than any story about a dual-wielding guy who has a scimitar named "Twinkle". Personally, in the last release I thought the omission of Ivid the Undying was also a shame. I love that kind of crap, even if it is lacking on the hard crunch. Frankly, do we REALLY need more feats and prestige classes and skills and spells? Aren't 6000 feats enough? [/QUOTE]
