(no subject)

I realized something today, browsing through Amber web pages. I can't take a campaign seriously when the trumps (for amber purposes, pictures of the characters) are photoshopped images of famous actors and actresses.

Maybe this makes me small minded, but I see a pic of Tom Cruise from MI:2, I have a hard time seeing that as an Amber character. It just seems to plastic and cardboard for Amber.

I'd rather see a poorly drawn trump in crayon than another celeb photoshopped to have green hair. Even playing with pictures of people who aren't famous can work; there's no predefined image/personality associated with the subject.

I guess you'll just have to play D&D then, oh well

There is but one true RPG, of which all others are but Shadows.

There won't be any dark side here

Don't worry. I've learned my lesson.

I'll only play D&D if it actually involves role-playing, instead of computer-gaming. :-p

I think the complaint was about cardboard character conceptions... how does rolling dice to determine attributes help this???
