Seriously though, I'm not even saying to be OPTIMISTIC. I have no info for or against that. I'm just providing counter arguments to the depressive theories that go around in here, for basically no reason other than the usual Codex pessimism/shitting on everything
If I had any photoshop skills, I would make you a rainbow so huge that could take you to Asgard.

Systems are meant to serve the story in an RPG, not the other way around.

Story is merely an excuse to use the pointy stick and throw fireballs.

Unfortunately, some homosexuals are more interested in unleashing their absolutely dreadful, puerile imagination thinking themselves deep and engaging, imagining themselves the author of a real story than play a game and get through maze like dungeons, surviving traps and dangerous encounters.

I just want ToEE but not about ToEE.
There was some guy that was porting Icewind Dale to ToEE, he even made a demo that was awesome but after that, there is only radio silence from him.
There was a mod called Icegate II, but then I found out it was canceled. Man, imagine a BG2 in 3rd edition. Would have made for a strange first playthrough.

...and they stuck really long to that design philosophy...no, wait, they started throwing it out the window as soon as possible.
Which happened at the same time DECLINE has begun. Coincidence?

Decline of what? Sales? Popularity? Demand? All of those things were on the rise. Or are you just spouting power-words in the hopes of gaining some bro-fists here?

Decline of quality and intellectuality. It usually corresponds with increase in sales and popularity. Plebians wants products which are shit and dumb.

Why are people shitting on my bro OD&D ? It's a great game and nice books. With rip-off drawings by a kid too. Awesome.

The way you are having fun is completely WRONG. Shut up and feel ashamed of yourself.

Behead anyone who insults THAC0, and mount their head on a pike for the crows to peck at.

Yesterday the 'tards were trying to insult and distort the glorious Vancian magic system. Today it's THAC0. Stay tuned for tomorrow, when the 'tards try to insult and distort another sacred legacy, and get suppressed yet again.

You mean a system that translates so poorly into storytelling that every author writing novels/stories/comics within a universe containing Vancian magic simply ignores it?

Jack Vance motherfucker. Do you have any idea about anything, illiterate ignoramus?
