[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6842541, member: 6701872"] Of course it isn't... but then, there really isn't anything else to say that is more helpful either. If you don't know what you want to make up, but you want to make up [I]something[/I], you are in a state like that which some folks get into and someone, say their mother as an example, might point out they are in a different situation than the one they think, along the lines of: "You're not hungry. You're bored." If you can't tell me what you want to make up - you're not not hungry for more game material, you're just bored. Better to not waste your time frustrating yourself, and others, while trying to make up something you can't even say what is and do anything else. At the very least, look through what game materials there already are until you finally have what you want to make up come to mind. Show me someone asking how to make up a specific thing they want made up that isn't given advice how to go about making up that thing. If such a circumstance has happened, I'll gladly jump in and rectify the situation by explaining either how I would make up said thing for myself, or what it is that already exists and I now about which covers the desired thing. Some people are impossible to please. I find it is common that people that are impossible to please use the excuses that you've mentioned here. And I don't think I'll ever quite understand why it is that people immediately dismiss "some guy on the internet made this" and insist that only professional or "official" products are worth even taking a look at - it's like saying that because the cook at the local diner does the job for a living that you shouldn't even bother trying the food at your neighbor's backyard barbecue. The only person that can judge how well things fit your particular preferences is you - not whatever company happens to be the "official" product line. [/QUOTE]
