We should just have an edition war subforum.
Really- because by and large that is what the RPG forum is right now- and it's fucking boring.  Obviously Edition wars attract enough traffic to have their own subforum. It would be refreshingly honest, if nothing else.
With a subforum threads that go that way can be forked, and people who play the game in question might actually be able to talk to one another about it without getting distracted.

Sounds like what RPGnet did with D&D. Meh.

Cool story bro, but the D&D forum is hands down the best thing about RPG.net.

Dragonsfoot used to have an EW forum, but it went from "I don't like your favorite edition of D&D" to "Your favorite edition sucks" to "you suck" and worse, so they closed it.

However, nobody here is afraid to tell anyone else here they suck (for example, I think AM sucks), so it's probably not as much an issue.

Down the civility!  Up an EW forum!

Quote from: Benoist;443807People are still edition warring on the Legends & Lore thread, heh?

My bad, I just wanted to make a joke about yet another retroclone being made (well, and mock story games) not promote edition warring.

It's cool, mate.

I'd talk about the games I'm running/playing, but right now that's the Burning Wheel (GMing) and Mutants & Masterminds with a Japanese myth/wuxia/fantasy feel (playing), so I don't think the reception would be very warm, if I got one at all.

I'm also planning to run The Whispering Vault and Trail of Cthulhu (using a Masks conversion), but again, those games seem sort of out of the park for this forum.  Well, Trails only partially so.

OD&D is also in the running, and I'm sure that would get a much more positive response than the other games, but that depends on whether my work schedule lightens up at all, as I haven't had a day off in about a month and a half.

So there's plenty of stuff I want to talk about, and plenty of games I'm getting ready to play, but given the reactions to certain types or brands of game here, I always question whether it's worth it to post a new topic.

Quote from: Benoist;443800That's totally cool with me. But jumping from one thing to the other and calling the games I'm talking about sub-par and all? Whatever! I was talking about me, myself, and I concur! I associate the d66/d666 with INS/MV. Period. The end. Others might associate it with something else. We have different game experiences and associations. OMG! A shocker, I know!

Yeah, you went through all that trouble to tell me off and everything.  "Cool Story Bro", but you belong to a minority there.

Moreover, you seem to think you belong to the aristocracy of RPG's with your French flavors that no one else seems to like.  

But you just keep fucking that chicken!

Quote from: danbuter;443798I knew WFRP used D66 a lot. I've never heard of this French RPG you're talking about. Probably the same for a lot of other people here.

Yep.  +1.

Quote from: Aos;443811Cool story bro, but the D&D forum is hands down the best thing about RPG.net.

Also true.  +1 Credibility Attack.

Quote from: David Johansen;443803heh...today I started retro-cloning GURPS first edition.  

I know it's a really bad idea, but I loved first edition and feel things went badly off the rails around the time of GURPS Space first edition and have never really recovered.

? GURPS went off the rails with 1st edition Space?

Quote from: Blackhand;443866But you just keep fucking that chicken!

Dude. I don't give a shit about your problem with me. YOU keep on fucking that chicken.

That chicken is a whore.

Quote from: Aos;443888That chicken is a whore.

Looks like a nugget in the shape of a donut, too.
