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.

The Basic Game...why the hell would anyone play it instead of Basic D&D?

In any case, I'm done with this thread, as I'm just going in circles.  If you want to count it as a loss for me, and win for you, go ahead.  I'm finding it more of a exercise in frustration than a interesting discussion.

Quote from: QuireOut of curiosity, are there any even semi-reliable sources for the number of copies of Basic D&D there ARE floating around out there? Are there millions?

Sorry, it's a tangent, but I'm intrigued.

- Q
There probably are several hundred thousands, if not millions. There was a period when even modules were printed in 100.000+ numbers.

Do you also storm home from the park with your ball if the other boys don't play nice with you?

And this is the reason I'm un-registering from the entire site.  I think the post said it all...but someone still has to come back with a smart ass comment.

Sure, having a site where you can speak your mind is fine...but a site where everyone comes looking for a fight, instead of a "mature" discussion, just isn't for me.

Judge me as you will, I'll live.

Yoiu're just angry because despite your wizardly goodness you still can't afford to upgrade to an anatomically correct model. :)

I usually like Grubman's posts and he's definitely gotten me to buy into a couple of games, but this was just an unnecessary attack on something that's doing no harm to anyone.  If you don't like it, don't play it.  Don't piss in someone else's fun.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

Quote from: J ArcaneMy point is, there's plenty of people besides just Sol who have similar feelings on how they distribute their creative works and how or what economic gain they recieve from them.

Ah, well that I can get behind ;)
