Well, Steven, since you choose to make it personal,
I like systems that are sanely arranged, reasonably
thought out, and still interesting, reagardless
of where they come from.   Certainly Rolemaster*
has concepts similar to other games.  <Of course,
I can't think of any famous lawsuits involving that
sort of thing, can you? :-( >


Frankly, I don't care where the ideas were introduced.
(Chivalry and Sorcery*, even.  Now THERE's a system.
Or at least an encyclopedia, I'd hate to actually try
to use it, once was enough.)  I care when they
are put together well enough to use without detracting
from play.

I don't really understand your article at all, you seem bent on
ridicule.  You don't seem to want to educate people, explain your
position, or try to convince them, so do us all a favor and
keep the egg on your own face.
This article, as well as yours, should be in net.flame, but
nobody there would understand it.  Let's end the argument.
If you want to recommend a system, then review it, describe it,
and tell us why you like it.  Don't tell us that you like
to put people down. <That's evident from your article.>
			In disgust
