Hi Pundit. Yes I was scouring the internet for places where the book has traveled to in its advertising.....the Rupee came back as a exchange medium for one site, it is considered as an imported book, in India. Yes, it worries me.

Quote from: estar;648558The problem is the lack of flexibility. CRPGs are more interactive than a movie or novel but there are bounds to one's actions. Tabletop RPGs are among hugely flexible because the ability of a human referee to respond to what the players are doing. This is the niche that will allow Tabletop RPGs to endure alongside other forms of roleplaying and gaming.

Not only bound to one's actions, but those that the designers have allowed as possible choices.

It is easy to be impressed with the technological advancements of our time, but they simply build upon the same paradigms. Artificial intelligence may one day change that, but the commercial impetus is still far away and that is what makes the difference.

To compare - high definition broadcasts and TVs were available in Japan in the late 1980s (analog!), but outside of a limited number of enthusiasts and specific applications sort of dried up on the vine until much, much later.

Likewise there are 3d technologies that can parametrically create and render a small planet (first seen in its juvenile form in Wrath of Khan) with some features. Technology like that isn't required for building an interesting computer game.

I see, so this is not something you actively pursued, stormbringer?

No. I did not actively pursue, it happens of itself.

Why don't you post a link to your game. For free or pay. Would love to take a look. And Pundit you realise this isn't the StormBringer thats been here since 2008 right? This is a new/different guy.

Okay, I have something in the other forum for advertising the game. If Pundit does not mind, I shall post a link, for a $2 USD annotated version here: http://www.sojournergames.com/

Apologies if I have done this incorrectly. I hope you do take a look........If you want a complimentary copy, I am happy to do that too. Just need somewhere to send it.

What WOTC debacle?

I see you bothered to read at least the original post before responding.

Heh. Since when did it become a Debacle if Wotc is taking a break from publishing a new RPG?
