The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[CleverNickName]

Sadly, a thread celebrating a games 45th anniversary has turned into a how much it sucks buffet.

Sadly, but also predictably.

There is always That Guy in the thread who can't imagine anyone enjoying something he doesn't, and therefore tries to ruin as much enjoyment as possible for everyone around him. "I can't believe people still listen to Buddy Holly, ugh, that so-called musick is just so lame, blah blah blah, here's my 4,000-word essay on why you're terrible for liking it."

Hey.... there's nothing wrong with 4,000-word essays.

Right?

My life is a lie .... sob

Needless to say, I don't want to step in and say my Solis has transhumanism (more in the vein of Zoltan Istvan and life extension though), etc..

Of course not! It's only the 4,000-word essays titled "How Dare You Like Something I Don't" that wreck my blood pressure.

That is sort of another thing is that they aren't arguing about Traveller as much as the Third Imperium which while is the official setting, only about half of Traveller players use it. I showed my latest work in progress map in the Traveller fb group and got hundreds of likes, and it is near future, real stars, totally different setting.

Well, as a courtesy to your blood pressure, I am not going to post my thoughts on store-bought spiced rum.

Although I do think it would probably pair well with pineapple pizza.

I sincerely feel sad for certain posters whose every post is about how terrible players are and they can't be trusted and are always trying to find a way to cheat or bend the rules to the detriment of the game and the DM's fun. Simultaneously, however, I can't help but snicker at the fact that if someone is consistently having these experiences, maybe it is just them.

This is sort of what im talking about. Everyone has their "best Traveller version" and often the nitpicks are not that germane to discussion about the game in general.

I just wish that the "Spinward Traveller" film had actually come to pass, but that's another discussion
