For me, it's more of a way to look at how others view things than as a forum for me to get my word out. When I feel such a need, I have this blog here or some other such thing, like the Goblinoid Games forum or ENWorld.<br /><br />To be honest, I haven't been much thinking about roleplaying games recently, though that'll probably change soon.<br /><br />I'm sorry if I upset you. In my defense, I was feeling grumpy that day. I don't understand why people like Exalted so much, since it's basically silly combat after silly combat grafted over the 3.5e D&D engine. Isn't there anything more interesting to play?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596442998967851832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817647623501108348.post-74493223352485524532010-12-12T20:02:39.239-05:002010-12-12T20:02:39.239-05:00I just recently ran across your blog entry while l...I just recently ran across your blog entry while looking for something else and am somewhat baffled by your assessment of RPG.net. I actually find it fascinating, but then there are two things that I do. 1. I hunt down threads that interest me. 2. If I don't see them, I CREATE them.<br /><br />By your own admission, you haven't done the second thing. Other posters can't magically know just what YOUR particular interests are. You have to speak up! This is true on any message board. If they don't respond immediately, so be it. You keep posting what you think are thoughtful and intelligent topics until something sparks a response and hopefully a discussion.<br /><br />Since I've joined RPG.net I've been exposed to posts about all sorts of games from old classic RPGs to the latest releases. I would have never heard of Burning Wheel, Eclipse Phase or Dogs in the Vineyard had I not joined. Hell, I never knew FASA created a Masters of the Universe RPG until I saw it in a thread there.<br /><br />If you create the threads that YOU want to see and just maybe there will be more just like them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817647623501108348.post-7542537241188750192010-08-09T14:05:56.658-04:002010-08-09T14:05:56.658-04:00I lurk at the Knights and Knaves forum, but I'...I lurk at the Knights and Knaves forum, but I'd forgotten entirely about the od&d discussion.

There are a few old-school folks carrying the torch there, but not much OS discussion... <br /><br />Maybe the next time you need a change of pace, try Original D&D Discussion or Knights & Knaves Alehouse?<br />odd74.proboards.com/index.cgi<br />http://knights-n-knaves.com/phpbb3/index.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
