Thunder rolled. It rolled a six.

You know I'm starting to wonder if a lot of hate for 4e comes from a lot more of the page count being given over to being a rule-book with stats and such and not a fantasy Almanac/Travelogue with some occasional easily-ignored statblocks in it. In other words, how many people defending 3.5 don't actually intend to play it and just treat it as fantasy literature?
4e, especially early on, kinda went to the opposite extreme, being hyper-focused on just what's relevant to running a campaign. I liked how some of the later 4e books started developing the setting and general flavor more, but I definitely don't want to bother with another book like the 3rd Edition Forgotten Realms setting, which at times was very much the dry fantasy almanac thing.

That anime WoD supplement someone posted earlier made me wonder how many bad, fanmade rpgs supplements were made in the 90s based on anime. Kind of doubt any were good.
Even the actual licensed RPGs based on anime in the 90s by and large weren't very good. The major bright spots in anime-based RPGs were pretty much all from R. Talsorian.

Don't ever imply that the DBZ RPG is a bright spot for anything, that poo poo's unplayable.
Yeah, no, I was thinking of TFOS and Mekton, and not a whole lot else.
