After a veeeeerrrryyyy long, and mostly unplanned, hiatus, Stuart and I got
together to play more Stargrave in recent days. It was good! It was also a
bit ...

Well, it ignores the possibility that one's favourite version isn't out-of-date (either being 4E or 3.5 as supported by Pathfinder).
ReplyDeleteI don't get it, it seems to make sense, though intelligence was my IRL dump stat.
ReplyDeleteThe "out of date" and "retroclone" players are playing the same thing?
ReplyDeleteThe "my hopelessly out of date version of D&D" and the "free retro-clones" meet, implying that there are an increasing number of free games that are basically out of date D&D clones?
ReplyDeleteThat your D&D (red) line travels backwards in time which, by definition, means that at some point it was a retro-clone of itself.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is where the players of the current version travel back in time, creating a paradox, where more and less players are gaming at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSome of them exploded.
It's accurate but incomplete.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the the red line gets within LOS of the green line, roll a wisdom check for the red line once per year. If the red line succeeds on its wisdom check and notices the green line coming, it will (roll d6):
1-stab it
2-sue it
3-buy it
4-re-clone it
5-go back and publish all the old books with expensive new annotations attached
6-Roll twice
@deadlytoque: that's only true at time T for any given version. At some later time T + x, your version is out-of-date, for all versions.
ReplyDelete@Christian: the vertical axis is # of players, not editions.
@Al: This is what I agree with.
it's the colors. you got the colors wrong.
ReplyDeleteOnly C-tards hang out on ENWorld, plotting their one-true-way campaign!
ReplyDeleteThat's what the dice told me, anyway.
Nothing?
ReplyDeleteIt assumes I care about D&D....
ReplyDeleteI wanna cast a spell...
ReplyDeleteI agree that there is nothing wrong with your chart. It appears absolutely accurate. So accurate that I finally created a blogspot account. Dang, more things for me to write!
ReplyDeleteYou aren't allowed to list "favorite versions" and "free retro-clones" on the same chart. Why can't you just admit that they have nothing in common and don't belong in the same discussion?
ReplyDeleteYou're wrong Jeff. Just wrong. Wrong doesn't need a reason, but I'll give you one random one anyways - "Jeff Rients is only a shill for Chartmaster, don't believe a word that wishy-washy Shatner-tard says."
ReplyDeleteAd DeadGod said, it reveals that WotC has Time Travel technology and now they will have to kill you for that.
ReplyDeleteThe retroclone line will probably flatten out some time after its short, sharp rise, becoming an inverted mirror of the out of date edition line.
ReplyDeleteThat 95% of statistics are made up, especially the squiggily ones.
ReplyDeleteHitting the Random Post button got me here. I like how Zak's prediction became reality.
