RE: (TFT) a survey of Melee and Wizard editions
I'm sorry for delurking, PvK always rubs me the wrong way. For instance; in the word-count-analysis of ITL, the word "will" is ranked as the most frequently appearing at 590 occurrences. The book is full of phrases like "the GM will", "the Player will", etcetera.
But PvK asks "I wonder why 'will'? " Causing me to wonder if he has ever actually read ITL. Which has now triggered me. As I have always felt he was anti-TFT. Like another contributor who's answer was always "g.u.r.p.s. is better".
I have no stomach for a flame war with such hard headed negative minded people. I return to radio silence. /grouchy's submarine sinks back beneath the surface.
