[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7692926, member: 42582"] In that sense, solving any puzzle with a group of friends can be dynamic, especially in a context of no takebacks. But that doesn't necessarily make for a good RPG session - as at least one relatively experienced player thought even way back in 1975 (per A&E quoted above). EDIT: That is to say, a person for whom that sort of dynamism doesn't lead to a good RPG session is hardly some sort of freak or outlier, even if there are others for whom that [I]would[/I] be a good session. I think Wick's criticisms of ToH are pretty commonplace and unremarkable. It's no surprise that not everyone agrees, given that "bad module" is a matter of taste and judgement, and obviously his rhetoric is intended to generate needless outrage, but there's nothing in his blog that's very shocking, is there? If he'd posted the A&E commentary under his own name, would that have caused outrage too? Is ToH now so iconic that criticising it is per se heretical? [/QUOTE]
