Quote from: Ghost Whistler;556275This limitation is so pointless and self defeating.

Much like your whole line of argument.

It's his basement. It's his rules. Arguing with the site owner about what should or shouldn't be allowed on his own site is a waste of breath.

Quote from: Ghost Whistler;556273So what exactly are you trying to achieve with your wacky little banner ad?

Oh I dunno, to bring in regular Roleplayers who are pissed off about the heavy-handed moderation and the favoritism shown to the tangency fashionistas and the storygame-Swine over at rpg.net?

And anyways, I'll note its not "my" banner ad. It was a members-initiative, I didn't think it up, I didn't plan it, I'm not paying for it. Its all being done by the people who support and care about the existence of this site, and as such approve of the work I've done here.

Maybe that's what's pissing you off so much?

Then he should have no problem defining those rules.

Tell us what constitutes an rpg as accepted by the forum. Simple.

That's nothing but a bullet train to arguing about edge cases ad infinitum ad nauseum.

But hey, keep stamping your widdle footie if it makes you feel better.

No, it's asking the one peson in the entire multiverse that has a problem with people discussing games that he personally doesn't like to define his terms. Why should that be a problem, why should there be edge cases, isn't this black and white? There are roleplaying games (hurrah!) and then there are 'story' games (boo hiss!). Simples.

How on earth is Apocalypse World, regardless of its quality, not an rpg? Let's have an answer, and not the ad hom passive aggressive crap for once.

That's not how free speech works my lad.

It's my breath, not yours.

Where is the rule defining story games?

Plenty of regular roleplayers want to discuss not just 'regular' roleplaying games but what you regard as story games.

He has done so numerous times in many threads. You're just being a bitch.

And no, I'm not going to search for them. Look it up for yourself, instead of wasting everyone's time whining like a 10 year old wanting candy.

Ghost Whistler, what does your little temper tantrum have to do with what this thread was originally about?

No he hasn't.

If you don't like what I write then don't fucking read it. Simples. Don't gove me this passive aggressive shit.

Is this a serious question or another cheap shot made by people that claim they want an open forum, but only if people are willing to post what they want to hear.

If you want to ask the question seriously then do so without the abuse.

Quote from: RPGPundit;556277I'm not interested in making a sub-board here for CCGs, or computer games, or even war games (which I actually even play and everything), so why would I make a sub-board for storygames? All of those have in common the fact that they have some historical or mechanical relationship with RPGs in some form or another, but are not actually RPGs.

At the extremes, I agree the two are quite different, but there are games that attempt to blend the two, just as D&D 4e tried to blend elements from MMORPGs into a role-playing game. Perhaps you should be moving D&D 4e discussions into Other Games, then, too?
