[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 7444693, member: 48965"] And again you are mis-reading... I'm not angry and I'm not being passive aggressive honestly this isn't serious enough for me to feel anger about... it's make believe games. I am stating how I saw your reply, nothing passive aggressive or bickering about it. The thing is you were only liked by 2 people who regularly disagree with my stance on indie games and one poster who has me on ignore yet passive aggressively comments on my posts through other people as well as the like and laugh buttons... so I don't really consider that evidence but ok stepping back, I'll ask... what exactly in my phrasing is causing the subtext you attributed to my posts to come across as such? Not being snarky, not being passive aggressive... asking for perspective. Yes but instead you attributed a stance or set of feelings to me... D&D is superior, D&D is mother and father, etc. when that is not what I said at all. Believing that D&D is flexible enough to offer an experience similar or in line with Sorcerer is not claiming it's superior or better in any way... and I've never claimed such in my posts. No I've been pretty clear with my earlier posts that I think traditional games (D&D included) can often be used to replicate the experience found in more narrow games . Tying this back to my original line of thought we were speaking to player types and I commented that more narrow designed games like FATE put an emphasis on the fun of say a player who enjoys storytelling but not a player whose into tactical combat while a game like D&D has the tools to accommodate both in the same game. This wasn't claiming one was superior just stating my observations. Well if the claim is made that it can't emulate the play of Sorcerer (which was not made by myself) then i am looking for what can't be emulated. I am familiar with Sorcerer in passing, I have read it and ran a game years ago with it but from my recollections it was a pretty standard dice pool system whose real innovation was the GM advice, non-mechanical aspects of character creation and suggestions around gameplay as opposed to anything hardcoded in the actual rules... but as I admitted earlier in the thread i could be mistaken.
