I don't have a problem so much with Lich-loved, so much as Pathfinder's creators were also trying to fix D&D in their own way, and Frank bad-mouthed several of their ideas.Kaelik wrote: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 problem and needs to be stopped. Because Lick Love is making life worse for other people by convincing others to not correct problems.
If Lich Love threatened to kill Frank's family, he wouldn't give a damn.
You think threatening to kill someone's family is worse then saying something that is wrong and causes others to come away with wrong impressions.
I disagree, I assume Frank does as well. If what you have to say is a personal insult that does not affect anyone other then the person you are insulting, and they can freely choose to ignore it or respond, then it is really doing no harm.
If what you have to say is that problems that affect at least 100s of people (the people that are going to buy/run Pathfinder) should not be fixed, that is sirus biznez, and you need to be put down.
To understand this, you have to accept that facts are more important then people's feelings, and that is something you will never be able to accept.
Also, saying that Lich-loved is actively making people's lives worse is weird; D&D's a game that you play to have fun, not a necessity.
If you have problems with a game, you fix them to suit your tastes if the game developers fail. Frank and K did that. And yes, saying that "the DM can fix that!" is a cop-out, because anybody can try and fix a problem.
That, and what's a problem in your games may not be a problem in other peoples' games; I've met some gamers who don't care in the least about game balance, and think that Wizards and Druids being powerful is "just the way things are."
