Actually, I was going for WWII movies in the glory days (1960s), and just so happened to use Sean Connery.  Everyone else seemed to follow

Quote from: King of Old School;556885You know what would be awesome?  If the gaggle of social retards who spent multiple pages in this thread talking about how TheRPGSite is about free speech and no agendas (and I'm pretty sure I saw proposed for-pay banner ads that had the words "Free Speech" and "No Agendas" prominently featured at various points of the conversation) would accept that this is no more or less true of TheRPGSite than it is of RPGnet.  What's good for the goose is good for the gander, you worthless fucking cuntscabs.  Your hypocrisy is breathtaking.  What a pack of bitches.


At least 1989 has the decency to give the honest answer to the question... not that it's any less of a fucking disgrace for being true.  You worthless bottomfeeders should do society a favour and kill yourselves already.

Ooh, how edgy.

Quote from: RPGPundit;556967The mere existence? No, no more than the existence of Hungry Hungry Hippos doesn't make it "opposed to RPGs".

However, if there's a movement of very dedicated people out to infiltrate RPG forums and influence RPG companies, who have demonstrated a willingness to lie, manipulate, abuse site moderation, and play with definitions in order to hijack the language of any discussion to front-load all their notions so as to force their desired results, all to the end-goal of redefining Hungry Hungry Hippos as not only an RPG but the very definition of the "right" way to do RPGs (and by "right" meaning, the "coherent" way to play RPGs that will not result in brain damage), then that absolutely would be opposed to RPGs, as it is a direct attempt to subvert the RPG hobby to turn it into something it isn't.

And this is no different than any other RPG movement.  There are plenty people who enjoy the new games as an option - but there is also a subset of fans and authors who will say it is the best thing ever, and that it is the "right" way to do RPGs.  For example, White Wolf fanatics said exactly the same thing about their new games in the 90s.  David Berkman and other Theatrix people said that their cinematic diceless style was the right way to do RPGs.  The subset who believe that will indeed try to influence everyone they can to agree with them.  

A good reply to this is "There isn't a 'right' way to do RPGs, and the existing games are perfectly good.  Liking your new games is a matter of preference."

A reply of "No, *your* games are the wrong way to play RPGs" is, in my opinion, counter-productive.

Except that WW games, whatever their flaws, still followed the actual structure of the RPG.  What Storygamers are doing is different because they are trying to REPLACE RPGs with a totally different kind of game with a totally different set of structures and goals.

I miss the cowboy user icon spirit of community, but Tuco just being out there by himself was weird.  So I went with Connery too.

I may just bring back Grimorley.

I'm going back to the cowboy/hat theme.

Actually - I think that's Connery as Urqhart in A Bridge Too Far - which was 1977. My dad took me to see it.

The Simulacrum's hat is kinda built in...
