[QUOTE="MichaelSomething, post: 4718884, member: 51168"] I'm not sure what you're sayin' here. Listen. I thought that I said that I agree with the fact that an RPG can be both a game and a toolbox. I thought I said that. Did I not say that? Am I unclear on my agreement with this issue? Am I saying it in a way that causes people to not notice that I said that? An RPG can be both a game and a toolbox! I agree with this point! If you believe I do not agree with the first sentence of this paragraph; amend your belief from "MichaelSomething does not believe an RPG can ever be both a toolbox and a game" to "MichaelSomething believes an RPG can be both a game and a toolbox at the same time." To repeat this point in the event you do not understand what I am saying. I am in agreement that it is possilbe for an RPG to be both a fun enjoyable game and a highly moddable series of tools a person can use to construct the game that suits their personal taste. RPGs can do both! AM I MAKING MYSELF CLEAR ON THIS!?! The point I am now trying to get across is that a "game" and a "toolbox" are different things with different needs! Finaly Fantasy 7 is different from RPG Maker. A frozen pizza is different from a hunk of pizza dough and a bunch of toppings. I can go to Apple store to buy a computer or I can buy a bunch of computer parts and put together my own computer. I can go buy a poster or I can buy some paper and paint and create my own picture to hang on my wall. I am also willing to admit that the difference between a "game" and a "toolbox" may not a huge divide after all. Warcraft 3 comes with several campaigns you can play through as well a editor that allow you create yoru own maps. I can buy a Dell computer and then cutomize it with my own computer parts. I can buy a poster and then alter it to suite my tastes. So are you also saying that 4e is also a highly cutomizable system that I can change to create the game I want to play? If I'm mistaken, why?
