Quote from: Tommy Brownell;416827That's just disturbing.

Especially when it's based off of a page count and a beta document.

Clarification: You "resenting" it is disturbing. Not buying it and not playing it? Whatever.

If there's no sample except the Beta, how should i be able to judge otherwise?

Would you buy something just for the sake of finding out it's mostly the same work you criticized in forefront?

Honestly?
p.s.: I don't actually even know wether there's a sample of the final setting, because i was so bummed and outright annoyed by the beta. I was, because i had printed it and spiralbound it because i had planned to feedback it, actually. I forced myself through it although IMAO it was so bad i finally tossed it aside from frustration when i had arrived at the species section. THAT is why i'm resenting IZ.

Again, you read the Beta, didn't like it, don't want to buy the final product. Okay, that's cool. Even though other people have specifically pointed out stuff that you hated from the Beta and said "Dude, that's not anywhere in the final version"...not wanting to buy the final version is still fine.

Harboring resentment because other people like what you didn't? Unhealthy.

I read D&D 4e. I didn't like it. It completely outsells any RPG I've ever enjoyed playing. I don't resent its success...I just play the stuff I do like and ignore it.

I think BASH Ultimate Edition is superior to ICONS in every way, but ICONS outsells it and has a crap ton more third party support...I don't harbor resentment over it. I shrug, move on, and share my opinions of the two when the subject comes out.

I resent you not resenting 4th edition D&D. Woo!

This might sound like a strange question, but how easy do you think it would be to port IZ to a system like Cortex?  I know Cortex and SW share a few similarities, but I'm wondering how much work it might take to get the feel right, and just how married to the setting the rules tweaks are.

Thanks!
