Me too. Add in shamanism cue Blueberry, and you'd have a winner. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly. I didn't have time to elucidate fully at 7:37 am this morning but the whole Native American culture is ripe for exploitation, such that both the game genre and the culture may benefit mutually. There is a rich heritage, pantheon and social fabric on which to base several classes including all the bases: clerics (medicine men / shaman) fighters (braves / warriors, chieftains = ranger class) that can use all sorts of edge weapons and quivers full of arrows for their various bows, not to mention more exotic weapons, like boomerangs ninja sneak-up-and-flip-out-and-kill-everyoners (super-espionage agents of assassin class, without the alignment restriction) armed technologists (probably could use a Victorian Steam setting, similar to Arcanum) Doesn't need to be restricted to the US frontier, either; might just as well be in a different universe: even aliens might make an appearance! There is too much copycat-cut-and-paste in RPGs: too many orcs and blinking elves.

Just like Antony and Cleopatra ...

It may be so now, but at the time it was cutting edge stuff. I think the current ailment is that they (all those involved) were a victim of their own success: they (ditto) started to take themselves a wee bit too seriously ... I mean take a look at the fan sites ... scary stuff :ph34r: ...

Agreed.

1906 Autumn has come before anyone has written a word!

Silly pointy-eared green creature, you must be reading too many journals in dim light. I was bringing the thread back on topic, with a synopsis for you.

Without Gene Roddenberry there would be no Star Wars, either. ST was cutting edge, with an African character in a major role and even the first interracial kiss EVER on broadcast media. Don't show your ignorance, it's boring.

... And your bonus question is: what was Mario's brother's name?

Star Trek is ALSO Space Opera.

So, that's three orders of hooded robes, a side order of customisable hilts and choreography all round? I'm very surprised at the sheer imagination and innovation shown in this, the thirteenth collection of aspirational notes. At least Darque went with the sabrewhip; I favour the nun-chucks, but those of you who have been reading from the beginning would know that several times over.

evolution 4TW! Survival of the fittest game to entertain us.

I think the meaning sought was for the occident, rather than specifically the period of the US frontiersmen.

Um, it is logarithmic.

Newsflash: graphics patch released next week.

Only with everything you have written about religion. Start with Genesis and work forward. 1. I didn't know it was lost. (Badump-tish!) 2. Did he find it, or is this why Odin hasn't been heard of since Christianity "converted" the Nordic heathens ...? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. It was.. by your mum! (Ka-dish!) 2. He did find wisdom after his quests. I dont remeber if he learned from all of them or if it specificly was when he drank of the water in the spring of widom by the roots of Yggdrasil(which he had to sacrifice his eye to do) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. dang! And I thought all the problems were over after pandora ... 2. Sounds like a parable with a moral, kids ... remember don't drink to excess around stray bushes, you might lose an eye ..! ... A Christian charity is sending a film about the Christmas story to every primary school in Britain after hearing of a young boy who asked his teacher why Mary and Joseph had named their baby after a swear word. ...

Every time a mod has to discipline a poster for spamming (i.e. when it is annoying and deleterious to the thread and not informative and a fun tangent) then ten should be taken from the total.

Lucky for you.

Well, the slashdot system is more an aide-m

1. I don't like the apostrophe in the last option, otherwise I would endorse that as my choice. 2. Isn't this poll a repeat of one from about a month ago? 3. The whole point of a truly democratic medium like the PC is that as long as one person, somewhere, wants to play an RPG then they can make it themselves (in soem form). It will never truly die, not if we hold it dear to us, deep inside the c

Paranoia is good for the cynicism that breads so well in WoT ... /insert appropriate music from The Prisoner at this point ... FLoSD.ObE <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hang on ... yes ... I think I can hear it! Yes! I know where I lost my last kool mint!

I have pre-ordered it, paid for with the savings I make on buying Civ4 from Amazon ...

Here's looking at spam, kid. Has to be. CLASSIC.
