[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3614483, member: 18280"] Magitech is a slap? I thought it denoted a crossing of magic and technology, like in a Steampunk world or as with the mad scientists of Deadlands. Wait, is Steampunk a slap now? Anime is a slap? I thought it was a genre of animation styled after Japanese style animation (itself originally styled after Walt Disney). I know some people would rather not have anime influences in their fantasy role-playing, but how does that make the term itself a slap? Dungeonpunk is a slap? I thought it was an intentional design choice with the core 3.0 books, to differentiate them from previous editions and attempt to draw in a new crowd of younger players. As with everything, some people don't like it, but how does that make the term itself a slap? That would be like saying that "chocolate" is a slap because some people prefer vanilla. Tolkeinesque is a slap? Presumably then also Gygaxian? Howardesque? Burroughsesque? Again, this is a descriptive term that denotes a particular style or influence. If you like that style or influence, it is a bonus. If not, at least you are warned. How is this a slap? Let me guess: Any descriptive term that describes something that you like that the person using the term doesn't like is automatically a personal attack against you. :lol: Sorry, I just can't see it that way.
