[QUOTE="James Wallis, post: 498687, member: 9095"] As I work through this thread (sorry I'm late to the party; I spent last week closing down the company and working on Dragonmeet, which I chair), let me stamp on this right now. I don't dislike d20. I think it's a terrific game system. I think the OGL is a stroke of genius. Jon Tweet is one of my oldest friends in the games industry. I think D&D3e is a frigging marvel (and have said so several times, in public) and I have nothing against its players. As Mike Mearls has said, we wanted to publish d20 material for WFRP, but GW stopped us. Which is a shame because Mike's "Fear the Worst" is a brilliant adventure, and I would have loved for it to have been available to a bigger audience. I do, however, have issues with a guy called "bloke" who used to post to RPG.net until getting himself banned a few days ago. Bloke is one of the more persistent and more annoying trolls to surface in the last year or so. Where in that RPG.net post that Wulf quoted, I talked about people using capital letters and apostrophes, I was talking to and about bloke (who doesn't). When I said "...d20 products or whatever floats your boat", that "your" isn't a generic reference to gamers and d20 fans everywhere, it's a specific reference to bloke, directed at bloke. Who likes d20, despite being an idiot. And Thorin is not above being a little antagonistic himself, as I'm sure he'd be the first to deny vehemently. And I don't take crap from anyone.
