Hey look, it's Chaosvoyager to threadcrap again and tell us:
I am better then you.I still find it a decent RPG. It's just cunts like you who claim it to be the God On Earth of RPGs, and claiming that "oldschool RPGs are only good for catstringing, yo" I despise. I even said here that there are parts of it I like. Hells, I'd buy Vinnie a beer, if it was not for the fact that catering to the likes of you probably makes him a hipster fuck as well.
And yes, I do consider it a RPG, and a decent one, except that whole "Thou Shall Play As Written" attitude - which discards it in my eyes. But I guess reading comprehension's too much to bother, ey? Not to mention that only an ass never changes opinions. There are great pearls there, but there are also crude turds, and I for one will protect someone from the smell of shit, if I can.
In fact, just to be fair - I will hurt something I love by saying that GUMSHOE's game, Esoterrorists, is also written in a pretentious manner - the whole "You were a rollplayer, now you are a roleplayer" crap is found there. Fortunately, Trail of Cthulhu can deliver a good game without jumping on high horse of hipstershit - and that's why I love it. There is a slight smell of
I am better then yourism in it, but not as much as in AW or Esoterrorists, which is why I am also going to say - stay the hell away from Esoterrorists.
Also, here I say good things about AW and I am not ashamed of it.
Says the lad who bothered to, oh wait, answer me?
:forge:
Of course, if you prefer that your character is good at shooting people because he just had sex with another character rather then because he trained shooting guns, this is a game for you.
The sex mechanic, irony aside, I actually like - but I'm adapting it for a game in spirit of "Here I Stand" - PCs gain special XPs when they defend their Protestant or Catholic beliefs.
So without much further ado.
Learn how to fucking GM.
And cry harder. Your tears of frustration are icings of joy on the cake of my day. Maybe one day you will understand that you are just a more elitist 4venger, but I doubt it. Then again, it's the same problem with you people as with 4vengers, except in this case, I like some of the games - it's not game I spite, but the advocates of it.
