There's a new thread with someone asking about T&T over at theRPGSite right HERE. Aramis (I'd imagine it's the same Aramis) has joined in. It a good opportunity to give our fave game some good 'press'.  I don't have a membership there and I'm sorta loathe to jump in both as someone who's just signed up and with no posts at all, but if any of you guys have a membership and/or have posted there before you should chime in. |

I post there and jumped right into that thread with my own $0.02 -- thanks for the heads-up on the thread!

I've heard valid criticisms of T&T that I can understand, but the saving roll system?? That thing is awesome. I was using it as a kid without a problem - rolling a couple of dice against 20-Luck or 25-Dex, was not even slightly taxing on my 7 or 8 year old brain. Sure DARO requires addition (oh no!) but it's freakin' exciting to see that first die showing a 1, you nearly crap your pants, then your eyes move to the other die which is also a 1..."Yes I'm still in it!!"

Yes, same me. Yes, chime in. The place is a cesspit. But its a cesspit worth mining. |

The fact that Dr. Rotwang (who also happens to be a T&T lover) happens to post there is the only thing I check in on it for... However, I may to jump in on this thread....

You shouldn't. DI is cool. Besides, folks pimp their own games there often enough.
I should have joined RPGSite long ago, then I'd feel less weird about posting in that thread now (cuz I'd like to point out and show an example of 'breaking out of the box' in combat with SRs). Maybe I should join for any future threads.
If I joined now, it would feel...sorta 'sock-puppet-y'.

Thanks my friend. Get in there with both feet. Both puppets too! I discovered that I've been a member of that board for yonks and only made 4 early posts! ;D

I popped in and pimped my Dark Isles campaign... Feeling somehow... Dirty. I don't see why. Your Dark Isles campaign world is a perfect example of what can be done with the T&T ruleset. It's a well thought out, researched and reasoned world with enough possiblity for expansion with the overseas empires and airships to provide explanation for a character that doesn't otherwise fit. It's dark, grim yet has pockets of hope where people are just getting on with the business of living life. If a world such as this doesn't provide a prime example of what T&T could be for a potential GM/Player then I would suggest the individual re-evaluate what it is they want from a game. |

Well said, Prof.
And a very good point as well, as DI is indeed a good example of what can be done with T&T.

Alright.
Well, I joined and said my piece to the best of my ability...so it's probably meandering and a bit over-the-top, but..there ya are.

Meandering and over-the-top from you, mach? Surely not...  I will say, though, that your over-the-top meanderings are almost always worth reading. |

Thank you. Given the wisdom in your posts from your heavy-posting days, I take that as quite a compliment. |
