Not in the thread, but that episode was relevant to issue brought up by Nisarg, which I again thought was related to the thread mentioned. Wick just displayed the worst of the storytelling attitude in a time when the masses were rallied behind the new 3E Dungeons & Dragons.

I think he was more annoyed at the fact that 3e was being praised for systems that are largely old hat among folks who've played a lot of different games. By Jonothan Tweet's own admission, the task resolution/stat system is largely derived from his work on Ars Magica. He expressed it in the worst possible way, though. But keep in mind that Wick's fave games include Champions (most of his columns for GO were about his Champions game), so he can hardly be accused of disdaining crunchy, rules-heavy play.
Plus, of course, he introduced a D20 setting he intended to develop (which predicted the premise of Midnight, in fact) with a truly awful piece of fiction. I think any disdain he had was best demonstrated by that not going through another edit.

This is a bit of a tangent, but it's my opinion that this is an affectation that gamers often take on. Why would we think that we're more creative, intelligent or individualistic than people who have other hobbies, that can be (and often are) equally challenging from a creativity, intelligence or individualism standpoint?DackBlackhawk said:
