This is a site for discussing roleplaying games.

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.

C'mon Pundit, I know you have to like some of AEG's d20 stuff!  Mearls had a hand in quite a bit of it, as I'm sure you know.

The Mike Mearls stuff I like, that I've read, is Cityworks, Portals & Planes, and Iron Heroes. Probably a couple of other things that I've forgotten just now.

GDW is dead, and therefore irrelevant. Why waste bandwidth talking about it?

EDIT: Actually, I'm a huge fan of GDW. I have tons of their stuff, from Traveller to Dark Conspiracy. Their absence is sorely lamented.

Played a lot of Twilight2000, Merc2000, and Dark Conspiracy in my time.  The system was a bit wonky, but overall a good set of games.

Quote from: VarajWho do you love and who do you hate?

Well...

While I don't really hate any them, I do think a number of them pander to the lower elements of modern culture. White Wolf, whatever lame name chosen by the publisher of Little Fears, Adept Press, etc. If they were all sucked into a black hole tomorrow I would take some degree of enjoyment out of it- but not much. There are more important things I'd like to see sucked into black holes.

On the love side of the question...

Nope. Not much there either.

Love Hero System, but IMO the current 'owner' of that game system is a hack even if he is a worthwhile editor.

Oh I know. I like Macro, the writer of JAGS. He's cool. So is his game but sadly I don't have a need for it.

Hi Gleichman:

That's Marco Chacon, a damned fine guy and a brilliant game designer. He's also a rockin' GM and player. :D

Besides my stablemates at Better Mousetrap - Timeless Games, JAGS, Chine Games, Daemornia Studios, Karmatech, Goshu Otaku and Silverlion Studios - my favorite publishers today are Politically Correct Games and Hinterwelt, both of whom have never let me down with solid, kickass games which are very well supported and beautifully presented.

Ca you expand al ittle on why you dislike Little Fears?

This is the first negative comment I have ever heard about it.

Little Fears compares to real RPG-Systems like the Card Game UNO to Magic: The Gathering.
For that matter even the most thought out Forge Game never went further than "Bohnanza" (don´t know if this german cardgame made it over) in this comparison.
 
Those are just small, in-between games, with no need to either be angered or enlightened by them.

So it's not as complex, and to you this is a bad thing?  I'd rather play in a good game of Uno than M:tG these days.
