[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 6129398, member: 11821"] I think everyone (or, many people who are in the business of making RPGs) had fun with D&D growing up. So I don't think it's crazy or ironic to want to play that sort of game and recapture those sorts of experiences while thinking the actual rules of D&D are pretty bad or could be done better. That they don't provide or push towards the sorts of games you thought they did when you were 8 years old. I mean, I ran Dungeon World recently, and it's amazing how well that system works for D&D's "genre." It's like how I always wished D&D games actually ran, but didn't. And keep in mind - I like D&D, too. (And I'm super thrilled I found a good D&D Rules Cyclopedia for $4; that Amazon seller had no idea what he had. So I finally have a hard copy instead of a PDF, and plan to run some sessions soon.) But anyway, like I said - the negative buzz from certain corners of the Internet is worth twice its weight in positive buzz from other places, so my attention is certainly grabbed for now. I'm always game for clever and revolutionary attempts at old genres. -O [/QUOTE]
