Quote from: BrantaiYeah, I'm iffy on that myself.  He was attempting that whole posting manifesto a bit ago, which if it catches on certainly has the potential to vault him into the position.

This has all the workings of a role-playing game.

Plus, now I'm curious as to how others would cast posters roles in the community here. It's dubious wankery to be sure, as much as 'stat yourself up' ever was, really, but interesting on kind of an embarressing level.

Hairiest chick I ever met.

I don't like German boys, anyway.

Quote from: J ArcaneQuibble over a vowel aside, that's still asinine circular logic if ever I heard it.

The Forge has nothing whatsoever to do with my own designs, so of course that means it must have sometihng to do with them?

That's patently ridiculous on it's face.

And yet you feel the need to deny it?  And you're sure it has nothing to do with your game?  I take it you've never played a Forge game before?  

If you haven't, then you're right, but your opinion no longer matters to me when these kinds of games enter the conversation.  Your opinion would be from a stance of complete ignorance.

If you have played any Forge games, and consciously rejected their way of doing things, then I would be absolutely certain your games' designs were influenced by the Forge.  It's a negative influence in this case, one in which your design become consciously not a Forge game (or something similar).  We're not measuring influence here, just that it exists.

Like it or not (and I'm ambivalent on it, really), the impact of the "Indie" game movement has been pretty huge.

Quote from: Thanatos02What about me? I'm working on a game right now.... but if I'm not the future, maybe I'll just keep it here on my laptop.

:: pats laptop fondly ::

So, I mean, you're sharing the future, right?

You sure are the future, my boon companion!

Quote from: joewolzI believe I said they effected current designs.  No, the denial of them effecting your design is an effect.  It's a conscious decision to deny their influence, which is de facto influence.

:jerkbag:


Oh yeah, I'm guessing by context you mean affected. Normally I don't nitpick spelling and homophones, but you even italicized it. Sheesh.

So how long until this devolves into "Jonathan Tweet posted on Gaming Outpost once 10 years ago, so D20/3.x is 'forge influenced'."?

I was trying to be funny with that one, I didn't mean to come off like such an ass.  I apologize for the "effected/affected" thing, J Arcane, I was seriously trying to get a chuckle out of you.

No, I, Joseph Francis Charles Wolz, am exercising my forum-given right to speak my mind.

It won't be from me.  The influence of the Forge is a really recent thing that I believe started with the closing of the Theory discussions on the Forge.  That's when they really started having an impact.

POSTING SPREE!

Eh, nevermind.

...via your arse :rolleyes:

Honestly, I think we'll be in a position to find out. I think indie games will influence future rule sets, one way or another, though.
