This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Even a quick visit to RPGNow should prove you that it has not...

Wait, do you mean that in your opinion, the RPG industry has "gone under" because people aren't thinking like game designers:D?


Quote from: Sommerjon;897171People would rather have small, but quality options then a wealth of mediocrity.

"Lots of quality options and an equal number of not such a great quality" is what we've got now, unlike before the explosion of small press publishers, when we had a dearth of options, half of which also sucked;).

Yeah, sure there's lot of cool older stuff, but there's also been an absolute overabundance of cool things coming out in recent years that I want to play. Like so much that I just know I'm never going to get to play it all. Sure, there's a bunch of material that's not interesting to me, of low quality, or even both, but . . . wow, I'd be lying if I said the amount of awesome stuff available was less now than it was at any time in the past. That's just objectively not true.

I obviously agree, what else can I say:)?
