Pelor knows we have played enough of them.<br /><br />Anyway in terms of quality games for every taste and style, there has never been a broader selection in gaming history with more support and options and ideas free for the plucking.<br /><br />The art of design has more than 3 decades refinement too.<br /><br />The only thing that is "wrong" with gaming is the fragmentation of our social networks.<br /><br />Since most of us are adults it can be hard to get people together. Plus the same tech that gives us so many wonderful ideas is also a distraction.<br /><br />If we can overcome that, we can have a golden age5stonegameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694550968360550229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-60934936557995286822011-02-06T15:44:43.935-05:002011-02-06T15:44:43.935-05:00Eh.

I've learned that spending five minutes on anything Sheppard (eyebeams) or The Pundit (Nisarg)for that matter says is five minutes of your life that you will never get back.Joe Bardaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242764968237965401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-29042238260808010172011-02-06T11:14:04.320-05:002011-02-06T11:14:04.320-05:00Well, that dude managed to get kicked from rpg.net...Well, that dude managed to get kicked from rpg.net for being a total dick, and the only one I ever put on my ignore list.

He can present this opinion as fact all he wants but in the end it doesn't matter. What any of us say online really doesn't have an impact on what people will like or play.<br />He hates Golarion, but it has quickly become my favorite setting. He claims you can't run a game in Golarion because it is just a rehash of other setting and has no substance of its own. Yet I have and do. While it is true that many previous settings have been integrated into Golarion, the setting also has enough depth to allow gamers to run something that ignores those previous settings. That's why I like it. <br />Many people rally against 3e/Pathinfinder and the many other d20 games that came from it. Is it going to stop me from playing those games. Hell no because that is my favorite system. <br />I dislike a great deal about 4e, WoD, OD&D, Hero System and countless other systems. Should that matter in the least to you or anyone else. Not if you/they have any sense. <br />I don't care if you just picked up a d20 yesterday or are a 30 year RPG industry professional, your opinion is valid, but only to you and those that agree with you.<br /> I just regret that our opinions cause so much animosity and division among a shrinking community. I also hate that so many of us get off by causing such conflicts. Table top rpg gamers are community that really should try to get along, instead of turning on each other as often as we do. However, that is just my opinion.Geek Gazettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041253917215490424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-22769149539093906392011-02-06T09:28:28.425-05:002011-02-06T09:28:28.425-05:00RPGs only suck as much as the guys and gals playin...RPGs only suck as much as the guys and gals playing them. <br /><br />It's as simple as that.<br /><br />They're not like video games where the players are restricted by the boundaries conceived by the game designers. They're amorphous and easily modified. If they fail to entertain it's because the referee fails to be entertaining or his/her players are just not on board with what he's doing.Greg Gorgonmilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397374629757817360noreply@blogger.com
