He sounds like someone who wants to "blow everyone away" but: (1) wants to act like he doesn't care about that; and (2) doesn't have the idea to back it up.<BR/><BR/>These posts are all about trying to stay relevant when you're know you're becoming irrelevant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1155319744453050032006-08-11T13:09:00.000-05:002006-08-11T13:09:00.000-05:00That may be.He seems to not care how people take h...That may be.<BR/><BR/>He seems to not care how people take his on-line comments. He might be intentionally affecting a persona there. I don't really care - I've mostl gotten to the point that I ignore his on-line presence unless someone points me to something that they think is particularly interesting/worthwhile.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319443832578685630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1155319490882484622006-08-11T13:04:00.000-05:002006-08-11T13:04:00.000-05:00sounds like a guy who wants to sound mysterious an...sounds like a guy who wants to sound mysterious and flippant, yet deep down inside wants folks to "ooh and Ahh" and ask him about it. <BR/><BR/>He's like the guys at gaming conventions who say "I used to be in Special Ops. in the Army.

Rather than coyly hinting at your new ideas I think it would be better to either lay your cards on the table for everyone to see or remain silent.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1155315820574652502006-08-11T12:03:00.000-05:002006-08-11T12:03:00.000-05:00From what you posted it sounded more like he was f...From what you posted it sounded more like he was fumbling towards something that he felt might be incredibly niche (or even unworkable) rather than something he claims will revolutionize role-playing.<BR/><BR/>Maybe he's working privately on this because he's still effectively in the idea stage and doesn't have a clear idea of it yet.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319443832578685630noreply@blogger.com
