[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9308891, member: 86653"] Even the bad adaptations of Dune are better than the novel. Even the bad adaptations of Lord of the Rings are better than the novels. 2001 is the single most overrated movie of all time. It's the most boring film I've ever watched. Now that the D&D 5.1 SRD is out in the CC-BY license, I wish WotC would go bankrupt and disappear forever. The industry would be better off without D&D. D&D, as a whole, is the single most over-hyped RPG of all time. 5E is the most over-hyped edition of D&D, by far. I don't mind the pop culture boom of D&D 5E per se, but I cannot stand most of the new wave of players it brought in. Science Fiction is more interesting than fantasy. Science Fantasy is more interesting than straight fantasy. The anime, manga, and light novel versions of faux-medieval faux-European fantasy are more interesting than the western versions. Superhero comics books are for kids and they should be written for kids. Adults can like them, too. But they should still be focused on telling stories for kids. Like Harry Potter. It's a series of children's books that adults like, too. If you have to have superhero comics for adults, make a separate line like Vertigo. Give the kids back their superheroes. Cats are better than dogs. The closest thing we have to an actual "storygame" so far is Wushu. Most "storygame" designers have things by the wrong end. They're trying to add story elements to games, rather than adding game elements to creating stories. People should really pick one: 1) gatekeeping is bad, or; 2) bigots are bad. Gatekeeping is what keeps out the bigots. [/QUOTE]
