Yeah, at this point, I have no reason to play this game. 13th Age does what I want more meaty D20 to do, DCC handles the rest. Not to mention the 10-15 other games I enjoy.

Makes me type a bit faster than I can think, because I don't have a lot of time to do said typing (let alone thinking and organizing a coherent message)!Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801483473113363785.post-32506166998699223242014-05-20T16:08:56.718-04:002014-05-20T16:08:56.718-04:00Heh.

And now, when people read your post and our exchange there, or the comments here, they will know that, once we have talked about what you meant to convey, I agree with you completely.ravencrowkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315630554847698555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801483473113363785.post-2814946878334785402014-05-20T15:55:42.958-04:002014-05-20T15:55:42.958-04:00Thanks for the shout-out.

Ultimately, my post was trying to get across my frustration with the tendency among some old-school gamers just sitting around and grumbling about "the damned kids on my lawn with that damned in-print D&D game!" I've just gotten fed up with it, that's all. I saw the latest grumbling and nit-picking about the 5E covers as just the most recent exhibition of that "grognard" tendency, and it got to me. <br /><br />I applaud your efforts with DCC RPG. I have a similar experience with C&C. <br /><br />The OSR doesn't need to ride the coat tails of D&D to be viable. Rather, I was merely suggesting that we take advantage of the brand name doing a big marketing push. Free publicity for the hobby, man! Or rather, WotC is paying for it, so let's capitalize on it!!!<br /><br />Game on, my friend! And may your roleplaying tao be ever stronger than, well, you know who!Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.com
