[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 3307597, member: 957"] How much of this was because of the game itself and how much was because it was [b]Serenity[/b] in a rather down year for the overall P&P RPG industry. Honest question there. I'm not slamming it. I haven't read it and don't have an opinion. I'm also not claiming there was remotely a need to be ground-breaking or anything. I agree completely with the Gretzky line. The goal of this product was to make money by selling product to people who wanted to play in that setting. Clearly they solidly achieved that goal. BUT, when you step back and look at the bigger pictue of gaming, what does it really mean? Is it a largely meaningless expection because it has everything to do with the license and next to nothing to do with game system? (Obviously a total screw-up in system would be an issue, but I think we can set that aside) Or is it completely meaningful in saying that, for now at least, license or some other setting/feel hook is a total trump over any game system considerations? Where in between do things rest right now? [/QUOTE]
