So it looks like the Pathfinder and 4e people pulled into the 13th Age popularity vortex are now finding things to complain about. This makes me happy. Keep fighting those edition wars, guys! You're doing God's work.

    It's the perfect "fighting on the internet" gif.

    When I saw someone on a forum getting angry about math and nitpicking over what "engaged" means, I knew the game had hit the big time.

    I just saw Naked Gun the other week and I've been thinking about how I might do a comedic noir game like that.

    Gavin Bisesi every time I try to run a serious noir game it turns into Naked Gun.

    Ah... noting on the Pelgrane forum that I could find. Is it the other forum?

    I've just seen some random "my players don't like X because it isn't like X" stuff.

    Yep. It think it is culture shock on the main part. It is (that which I've seen)
    "X doesn't work like X in this other game I like"
    where the 13th Age rules state
    "X doesn't work like X in this other game you like, but if you want it to here is an optional rule for X being exactly like X is in that other game and here are the implications of using the optional rule for X and and here is why we decided on our way of doing X as the assumed default".

    I don't think gamers in general are used to being supported in their choices of how to run their games in the way they want.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
