The foul beast Ragweed doth do me ill this eve. Yes yes, pollen isn't
a beast, but that's splitting hairs.
Oh yes, and special thanks to DMC for suggesting this week's topic on copycat games, as well as last
week's on serialization. Additional thanks to the anonymous reader who suggested the clothing issue.

This Week's Topics |
|
Tasteful Costumes |
It used to be that the average RPG character would go around in your standard suit of armor, or simple tunic, typical fantasy fare. In recent years however, more games seem to feature characters looking more like what you'd see on the covers of fantasy novels, with chainmail bikinis being on the conservative side. |
Humor in RPGs |
We generally have an all or nothing situation, getting a complete angst-fest, or the occasional pile of silliness. Do you think we need more moderation in this area? |
Copycat Games |
It's a plainly observable fact that whenever a popular RPG comes along, everyone in the world starts aping the main gimmicks. |
