I like the new art and graphic design style exemplified by this new product:p

As Danger alluded to upthread, using the old art smacks of trying to appeal to old school farts who cried themselves to sleep with the original, rather than new blood.

One thing I think gets forgotten is that most 4E fans are not simply newcomers, and many of us have been playing D&D far longer than the self identified "old schoolers".

Have no idea about that one. '83 rules me out of this particular love-muscle measurement, i expect.

Complete self-serving bullshit.

Don't mark me as surprised, though, just pointing it out.

Congratulations.  You prove that old people can be just as stupid as the young.

Course your love of 4e and dismissal of Basic Roleplaying are proof positive of that anyhow.

It all makes so much sense now.

I'd dismissed him as another mindless consumer whore, but that has nothing to do with it at all.  These are the desperate throes of an old man who still wants to be "with it", a sort of pathetic nerd version of the midlife crisis.  

He's Eugene Levy, but with all the humor replaced with Glenn Beck-like "true Scotsman" lunacy.

Don't mind me, just cutting a big block of irony out of this thread to remember it by.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

You must have had me on ignore.  I have been pointing that out for the last six months or more.  ;)

If you're going to accuse me of hypocrisy, you best fucking step up with some evidence, or shut the fuck up.

Leave the passive aggressive attacks for RPGnet.

Does it really hurt you guys that much that I like a game? That I love my gaming groups and my friends? I';m hardly the oldest person in the circles that I game in.

That would be this guy:

He's in his 70s.

I still say BRP can suck it.

EDIT: Do you guys want me to take more videos? There are now 108 names on the local LFR meetup. I can also do longer interviews on my Droid phone, now.

Not really on topic, but I'm just wondering why you recorded a video of a guy's moobs. Oh, and BRP told me to tell you that you can "suck it" back.

I didn;'t want to put peoples faces on the internet, especially considering I have at least one dedicated stalker and some of you guys are kinda textbook sociopaths.

But these are good people, these are the gamers that just dropped in, and had a good time, and are now part of the hobby.

These are the people you losers are shitting on. And they're better than just about any one of you. Even Mr. Whipple.
