[QUOTE="w_earle_wheeler, post: 3750790, member: 35955"] No. Honest criticism of a game mechanic is not an emotional reaction. It is not an attack on C&C or Troll Lords. Also, correcting misinformation presented about a game book is not "anti" anything other than anti-misinformation. When I say evangelism I mean evangelism. There is no hidden subtext. And yes, there is another thread for those who have tried C&C and have not stuck with it, and it also features posts of a conflicting nature. When misinformation is given about the RAW of a game, it does a great disservice to potential consumer. That is my only concern. The house rules, imagination and great creativity [B]one[/B] person uses to make a certain game system great may not be the same kind of resources available to a different GM or gaming group. There are so many different kinds of game masters. This is why we should honestly represent the core rules of any game. From that honest review, you can then extrapolate with your personal changes or fixes (depending on your point of view) to the game that make it more enjoyable for you.
