Spectacular (and not so spectacular) exits

I find the Pocket Grimoires great for spell ideas and I use several of the Realms splatbooks.

They are in the computer room, which is not by my bed, but...

It was all good just a week ago.

Only when it's convenient.

Samuel you should know better than that, there is no end to the zoidberg voice.

As a side note, I had so much fun with my goodbye thread and it actually did its job because after I posted it there was a sharp decline in "I'm leaving" threads in the Design forums afterwards, the two could be unrelated, but I'd like to think I had something to do with it, considering before there was like one a week and after there was only like two or three more.

And the people who didn't get the joke were the best cause they tried to actually counter my inane contradictory statements.

Also, to Chatdemon: Mellow out! If you want to argue, please do it in another thread.

Responding to a comment specifically about me is arguing?

I'll keep that in mind.

Guess that doesn't apply when the person being disparaged is unpopular, and the one doing it kisses up to the moderators, eh?

Come on guys, for a minute I thought I had a DNS error and was actually on rpg.net. ;-)

To yank matters back on topic, I am guilty of a (not so) spectacular exit, for the most part (imo) due to disguist with edition wars. So now I'm stuck in a situation where the company I like makes the game I (probably) don't, and the game a prefer is made by a company I can't freaking stand.

Up for a game of Hero?

Don't do it, bugleyman! It is a trick! (Or a trap!)

LOL. I played (and ran) a good bit of Fantasy Hero in the BBB (4E) days. I really liked it, but coming up with a balanced, usable framework for magic, magic items, OCV/DCV caps, etc., was just *way* more work than I wanted (or want) to do as a DM/GM. If I stumbled across a really well run fantasy hero game, I'd love to play, but there is NO WAY I'd try to run it again.

Besides, isn't Hero going to cut lose with 6E this year? Another edition war is the *last* thing I'm interested in...

Do what I do: focus on the products and not the company. That's how I live (barely) with Chinese-made products. ;-)

Yeah, new editions are the new pink.
