Seems like a probable theory.

How about if I stopped complaining, admitted that I'm wrong, and just stopped reading certain threads and posted about other things, would you be happy then?

WotC doesn't seem to be learning from their mistakes.

In conclusion: I'm taking a break from here. I'm no fan of Paizo, but I'm no fan of Frank's attitude, either. I think that he's a good designer, but he's acting like a jerk just to be a jerk, and until he realizes that it hurts his cause more than it helps, he'll not be taken seriously by a lot of m...

Source? Sorry, but it is buried in the Paizo Archives, which gets cleaned out a lot. If there was some way to find all of Frank's posts over there, then maybe I'll be able to find it. http://paizo.com/people/FrankTrollman Here...dig away. It doesn't list all of his posts, unfortunately. Just the re...

Keep in mind that Illithid slaves aren't slaves in the traditional sense, but mindless automations.

If Caedrus was offended by what Frank posted he could have just reported Frank...bring that old news up has nothing to do with the Paizo situation. He does give constructive criticism. *points at my Runic Knight thread* I've seen that, but he doesn't always. When he said on a Paizo board that the p...

Also another thing, in a playtest people shouldn't praise you for getting shit to work properly. They should only tell you the shit that breaks and how they broke it. There is a whole thread about "what they did right." It wasn't just playtests that Frank criticizes; he criticizes a lot o...

I'm not referring to everyone here by my previous comment, just a few.

I think Frank uses his tone as a shit filter, if the people are really stupid enough that they can't understand we post in a different way here, and that everyone isn't always nice, then we really don't need them, and they can go on their merry way and be dumbasses. An excuse is still an excuse. Fr...

1.) Recall that I actually got a ban flag over there over a thread where I didn't break their Code of Conduct. 2.) The thing to realize is that you will not ever get all gamers to agree on anything . All you can get is a market share of gaming opinions. And frankly if you don't have a multi-million...

It has a very foresty feel. When I think of rangers, I usually think of Van Helsing monster hunters. This is more of a woodsman facet of the Ranger. That, and with enough time, you can harvest infinite cure spell equivalents. But I don't see this as broken, because Clerics can gain back spells in th...

Every day's vacation at my house; unemployment FTW!

I don't see flipping through charts as fun.

But is this just a first impression, or is it a genuine problem with the game?

When I first heard of Final Fantasy IX and LoZ: Wind Waker, I was put off by their cartoonish styles, but I eventually found them to be very fun games.

I'd assume that Mind Flayers work on a fallout shelter mentality; they know that they will win, but realize that others are a threat. As such, displays of wealth need real meaning. An army of slaves has value when you wage war; a gold-plated toilet seat does not. That, and Mind Flayers in many setti...

I've brought this up before. I've seen this in action from both personal activity and witnessing others attempting. When it comes to problems with RPGs, putting Frank's words in nice terms doesn't get you anywhere. At best, it gets uncommented and it falls into obscurity. Generally, people jump out...

The problem at Pathfinder is that it turns out that it doesn't matter whether your argument is persuasive or not, because Jason isn't really looking for feedback, he's looking for praise . This is pretty much all that needs to be said about the Pathfinder "playtest". Seconded. But really,...

Frank's tone just seems to alienate him from people that may have otherwise liked his ideas. Does that happen for FOX news? Of course not! Putting things in harsh tones makes people listen to you. They may hate you, but they'll lsten . If in addition to a strident opening you then make a strong cas...

If you're right, you're right; no need to advertise it. When was the last time that this was the actually the case? People need to be led away from their incorrect ideas and shown new ones. Frank just likes to use a sledgehammer to do so. Since when was the last time someone on the internet said &q...

We get that you don't like the way we do things around here. Or at least, the way you present yourself and your arguments makes it sound like that. Thus the confusion when you still spend time here and rack up post counts. Whatever happened to Captain Bleach, anyway? Alright, I'll talk about other ...

Well, just to throw something out there: Unbodied. From the XPH. You know, the 4th level psions who are nothing but incorporeal brains? How do they make psionics happen if they don't have a fucking body to gesture with? I don't know. But how do spell casting ghosts cast spells with somatic componen...

But if Frank didn't act like a jerk and just stated the problems, then he would be taken more seriously, and he probably would have more fans and people that like his work. That, and if Frank is right, then he doesn't need to prove it or defend himself from people like Disenchanter and Lich-loved. T...

Jerry, You seem to be peppering multiple threads with your thoughts about Serious Business/Gaming Den angst/Frank and K personality dissections. I suggest you start a thread devoted to these topics, and contain yourself to referring to these topics in that single thread. People don't appreciate you...

Since others have asked for me to stop derailing threads, I'll condense it to just this thread. Jerry it is very simple. Frank cares about facts. Everything else is somewhat of a joke, and he will fell free to be an ass about it. When Lich Love says "The DM can fix that!" that is an actual...
