SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Quote from: AkrasiaI wonder how broadly he understands 'd20'.  Would it include games like True20 and C&C?

As I recall, very broadly and so, yes, it probably would.

Quote from: flyingmiceNever argue with a reviewer. If there are factual differences, politely point them out, but everything else is a matter of taste, and people's tastes differ.

Hallelujah!

Quote from: flyingmiceAdvertising doesn't sell games. Advertising gets your name out there, but only word of mouth sells games - and that includes reviews.

I agree to a point. But one of things that RPG advertisers fail to do is put the product into context for the consumer. RPGs are a luxury product, not a necessity, thus you have to tell the consumer why he should pick up your product and what kind of experience he'll have with it. Think car commerical.

Quote from: flyingmicePopular games are popular for a reason. If you can't see it, then you aren't looking at it properly.

'nother freaking hallelujah!

Quote from: NicephorusI think this is why all the "game X sucks, my game Y is better" promotions fail.  Players of X don't think it sucks, so they're insulted and turned off.  People who don't play X assume it's like X so don't bother to look at it.

Or, worse yet, include it in the game itself.
