[QUOTE="Prince of Happiness, post: 1679375, member: 19819"] [b]I Can See Them Now...[/b] *cue sca-a-a-a-a-r-r-ry attack ad synth music, male voice over, slow motion footage of a mid-40s politician type, blue suit, grey hair* You think Bob Johnson has been honest with you on his past, but has he been? [I]Really?[/I] Well...here's something that Bob Johnson [B]hasn't[/B] been clear about: *slow-mo footage stops* He's a munchkin. After vowing not to buy "Skills and Powers" and "The Complete..." series of handbooks, Bob Johnson did [I]just that[/I]. Bob Johnson, do you know him? [I]Really?[/I] "Paid for by The Committee for ROLE Playing, Not ROLL Playing" ********** *cue same exact scary synth music, this time with a picture of another middle-aged man with greying hair in a suit* Sure, Jack Reynolds [I]says[/I] he's a roleplayer, but his record speaks for itself: *graphics appear on the screen* "Supported a raise in character point-purchase pools." "Absentee role-player: Makes frequent use of Diplomacy checks." "Vetoed the passing of "Golden Rule of DMing" legislation." *cue sunny day music, picture of Bob Johnson broadly smiling in casual golf clothes* Bob Johnson supported the "Golden Rule" legislation, and furthermore, encouraged die roll mechanic simplification and new editions to smooth play! Bob Johnson: There's More to It Than Mechanics. "Paid for by People For DMs' Perogative" ************* *T.V. News Broadcast* And in the upcoming presidential race, tireless consumer advocate Richard Parsons, famous for his quote "Unplayable, in any edition," announced his candidacy for President: *cue Richard Parsons, again, mid-40s but with dyed hair standing behind a podium* "...Bob Johnson, Jack Reynolds, they're just two sides of the same coin! Endless reiteration of broken systems, no [I]real[/I] mechanic evolution, endless rulebooks! As President, I would push through a bill making diceless roleplaying a fundamental subject for our children, teaching them the necessary skills to game in the 21st Century. I will reduce our dependence on dice and paper and encourage a more open, more friendly style of role-playing, just like America used to be." *applause from his supporters* "And I know this...we can't go it alone. That's why I advocate actually reaching out to the Storyteller System, reaching out to the d6 system and saying 'Hey! Let's game!" *thunderous applause* [/QUOTE]
