[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8969459, member: 11760"] Because you keep saying weird stuff that makes you sound like someone who collects RPGs rather than plays them, including the hilarious suggestion that it's a problem that an OSR DM will have to make some rulings on the fly. And it is OK if people are just RPG collectors -- there's a significant portion of the hobby who, for a variety of reasons, don't get to play often or even at all -- but it definitely colors how you respond to a game, because something that might seem like a problem on the page isn't in play, or vice versa. The stats of a monster being slightly off from another version of them, or stats being incomplete because you're running monsters from a slightly different version of the game are examples of something that looks like an issue on paper but isn't even noticeable in play. The dictionary definition is a meaningless term, then. If you can use two things together without significant effort, that's compatible. "Compatible" does not mean "seamless," which is what you're asking for. It's a standard that anything other than a retroclone will fail. Stop behaving that way, then? Yes, we have classic "just asking questions" behavior, followed by detailed explanations of why, actually, this isn't a game people should like. When anyone pushes back, there's snark or even outright melting down. No one is coming for your RPG collection, no matter how well or poorly this game does. You can choose to not be triggered by this game and this thread. An excellent way to avoid that is to stay off threads about projects being Kickstarted. You consciously came onto a thread that, by its very title, said that people were enjoying a thing, and you wanted to make sure we know, repeatedly, over the course of 10 days, that you do not enjoy it. What are your plans for later this month? Stand outside the theater and tell everyone who enjoyed the D&D movie that they shouldn't have? [/QUOTE]
