[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6198307, member: 2525"] [B] And I've replied, but you keep cutting out or not seeing my reply. So, the frustration is mutual. I'll repeat the section you seem to have missed: You seem to be saying that, because something is not part of what is defined as "fantasy" that means it cannot be used in a fantasy game. I am not sure where you're getting this regimented way of looking at games, or entertainment in general, but it doesn't follow much of the time. A fantasy game can have non-fantasy elements in it, it's just an awareness that they are non-fantasy elements and therefore they should not dominate the game or be the majority of the game. This message board is devoted to "RPG News and Reviews". That is the type of message board EnWorld is. That does not mean you cannot talk about topics which are not "RPG News and Reviews", it just means the majority of topics conform to those requirements, and when there is a departure it's well defined as being a departure. So, for example, we talk about the TV Show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., even though it is not RPG news nor RPG reviews, but we do it in the forum set aside for such discussions, and we understand up front it's different from the normal RPG news and RPG reviews topics which form the mainstay of this message board. This doesn't suddenly make this not a "RPG News and Reviews" message board. It does not need to maintain absolute purity of topics to get those titles.[/B] [/QUOTE]
