Re: (TFT) The return of Ogre - Rick did something silly.

["Edward Kroeten" <ekroeten@farmersagent.com>]

You could do just as much detail with TFT, GURPs just was over kill, you 
could be sneaky, cowardly or whatever there just wasn't a value (courage 
8)placed on it.  It left things open enough to have fun and I don't know 
about you but I talked my way out of fights in campaigns, it was just a s
lash em up.

       saw the video, good stuff.
         I think there's two different experiences gamers want - some wan
t a game
         world that is just as complex and intricate as the real world - 
or as close
         to it as they can come in a game / gaming / RPG experience. Thos
e are the
         people with 150 page rulebooks and 5-page characters. Then there
's people
         who just want to have a loose but interesting plot line that giv
e them an
         excuse to go wander around a dungeon killing things and taking t
heir
         treasure.
         

         I have to say, that _personally_, my real life is complicated an
d
         challenging enough, so I prefer a plot as thin as "Death Test" a
nd a system
         as easy as Melee / Wizard. Or "just kill the giant Ogre tank" or
 "Just
         drive the car and shoot all the other cars". If I want complex, 
I just have
         to return to real life.
         

         While I understand that people love to play such games on line, 
I like the
         use of paper and pencil, paper rules and those cheap graphics of
 Melee,
         Wizard, and Advanced M/W.
         

         I also found my copy of Black Hole recently!

         I agree with Joe.
         

         Have a look at this video, that explains the continuity with Dar
