Yah, that's pretty rude, alright. True. However, that's "merely" being rude. As M. Sprange mentioned previously, they're moderating topics based on unwelcome posts about the game, not necessarily rudeness...

Pardon? You realize this is SteveMND, and not Atgxtg, right? :) I never stated that I had 'complete and utter distaste' for the game. Far from it, in fact -- I was always careful to explain that it's not a bad game, but rather just one that doesn't suit my particular tastes. There are a lot...

What? No it isn't. It's different terminology, but it's still the basic message you've been saying since you got here -- the "Old Guard" are inventing problems where there aren't any, and are the cause for all the world's woes. :wink: Well, with perhaps the new addition of making the Old...

Only two may post here, but I am quite certain plenty more out there keep tabs on the forum. Regardless, I believe my comments were not a jump, nor insulting, and certainly not meant to be either. Presumably the third-party developers that post here on a regular basis wouldn't be concerned...

Yet, as Mr. Sprange himself said, the posts they are concerned over and deleting are not the ones where the people are saying things about other people, or about the company, etc. Rather, they are looking into situations when people complain to them about posts here criticizing the game itself...

Heh, hardly. I did say I might stop in once in a while, and I have, about once a week. This time corresponded to a post I thought had some salient points embedded in it, which is why I was surprised when it was deleted. Since I no longer have any interest in the game itself, i mainly pop in...

I won't deny they of course have the option of doing that. However, if this indeed is a case of them deleting a thread merely because it disagreed with their products, then it presents a very poor portrait about them as a company. :(

Okay, have I gone blind, or has another thread critical of the MRQ system -- the one named "Companion, No Thanks" IIRC -- been deleted? I've been following it fairly closely today (since it contained probably my first post here in two or three weeks), and it never seemed to get close to the...

I think the issue I've seen here tends to be the fact that it is much of the core rules of the game that are being houseruled, as opposed to merely houseruling things to make the game better fit your play style or campaign concept. In the past, I've almost never met a GM who didn't do the...

There's a reason why the most famous tavern in Pavis is called "Gimpy's," after all. Presumably, it was a case of the rules really being written to reflect the game world... :)

Thanks guys, but I'm afraid the Companion wouldn't be enough for me to stick around for. The core rules of the new system simply aren't for me, and so I don't see any reason why options and add-ons for those core rules would somehow make the base more palatable. :) As I've said before, I...

Well, for weeks now, i had been saying that I was going to wait until I finally saw the SRD before making my final decision on whether or not MRQ is the game I was hoping it would be. The other day, the public SRD was made available, and I spend much of the intervening time poring through it...

Not really; at least yours actually got to see the light of day. My Epic Campaign World has as yet never been used in an actual campaign, because I never feel I'm done with it yet (that anal-retentive perfectionist streak in me)... I'm begining to think at this point it's simply turned into a...

Yah, fairly certain that's a typo.

Fair enough, but it looks like the Companion will be filled with more setting-neutral rules options, as opposed to anything specific. Stuff like divine magic, sorcery, etc. That still strikes me as material that would have been just as useful in comprehensive volume. Again, I realize it's all...
