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.

Why is it so wrong for a roleplaying game to be about something?

Okay, that I can agree with. My opinions are the same as they were re: elitism, but I will now shed my hostility for the day.:)

Nice to know! :)

I really hate being misunderstood, and whenever it happens I work my ass off to fix it. Glad to see it was easy to mend this time.

Quote from: AlnagI was really curious about those facts. Anyone can now consider, how many facts the Q&A acutally produced. Also, despite I am not fan of BW design, that doesn't necessary mean, that game designer doesn't have much to say to me. Rather the oppossite, I guess...

I'm confused.  I noticed you asking him a lot of questions, and he gave a lot of answers, most of which were direct.  What's wrong with that?

Incidentally, over here in Finland Mike Pohjola is about to release his next RPG, Tähti, which apparently will be marketed to non-gamers as well and no doubt will draw at least some attention from the mainstream press. What is it about, you ask? The lives and loves of sexy mutant popstars in a girl band of the near future, with a diceless resolution system based on fortune cookies.

Now there's a game that's about something...

...that something is my abject confusion. :confused:

There's probably not much of a chance that it will catch on and completely transform the public image of roleplaying... That would make explaining what goes on during a typical session kind of different, though.

Yeah, in the sense that when you've got a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
