Not sure why, but I don't know him aside from his blog. His objectivity seems lost on White Star, though.

But we are still the ones who have the deeper understanding of and experience with those genres, and the bounty of the imagination!<br /><br />Note: I actually believe the true definition of nerd is someone who is obsessed with an activity enough that they delve into the minutia of said activity. Thus, anyone who is really into their hobby is a nerd. So, hardcore fantasy sports fans are nerds, as are rabid fans of specific TV series, etc. Anything to which you lend great concentration and energy and time is your nerd-subject.

I like Tenk, but come on. Seriously? Sure, we all get jealous, but you weren't roasting the competition. You were chagrined, if anything. We all feel that feeling of "Aw man, I coulda done that!" But you in no way came across (to me, at least) as some turd purposely blasting someone else for "beating you to an idea." And anyway, that whole concept is bogus, because you would produce your own/different take on a sci-fi game based on the old D&D rules, right? There's that dopey "scarcity" mentality our society labors under, where if someone creates something similar to what you're doing, they "beat you to it" so now you have to pack it in. Nope nope nope. There's room enough for all of us, just like there's room for many retroclones, etc. As Morgan Freeman once said, "Allah loves wonderous variety" (sorry, I will probably be attacked for promoting terrorism by mentioning the Islamic name for God...I don't mean to rope your blog into that, JB!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-73190597878943951122015-05-21T01:43:29.597-07:002015-05-21T01:43:29.597-07:00@ Fail:
