I was all ready to post on the "a...Awww, man! I was all ready to post on the "are we dumbing gaming down" thread, but it got shut down...(thanks, Mike...LOL)<br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to point out something absolutely brilliant that Tim Holt posted there:<br /><br />"There are so many good things that you can borrow from WOW and D&D. Simple rules take the focus off of the rules. Simple math frees the mind to be more creative."<br /><br />Bravo! In a larp in particular we are constantly trying to find the perfect balance between adequate character development paths and game simplicity. I am absolutely impressed with the fact that so many of the folks out here understand that. It is likely the largest disappointment of my life (I know, either I've had a pretty charmed life or I take this way too seriously...probably both) that NERO is on its 9th Edition and still hasn't managed to get it right. It makes me want to cry...literally. <br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />C'est la vie (probably mis-spelled, but you get the point...LOL)Mike Ennishttp://warweb.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781060643507162251.post-78416740462072100972011-03-17T19:10:34.189-04:002011-03-17T19:10:34.189-04:00"We lie to each other so much, there's ab..."We lie to each other so much, there's absolutely nothing we trust."<br /><br />- Dave Mustaine<br /><br />Doesn't really have much to do with what we're talking about, but I love that song!!!

I'm going through a personal plot-line right now that Tim is running, and it's a complete blast. I sat down and talked with him a year ago about the sort of things that I was interested in and he ran with it. I never know what's coming up next, but I know that it'll be cool. In addition, even though Tim is a self-identified stick-jock, there's been lots of really cool role-play (which is more my jam).D.
