Types of Indie Gamers

I think maybe that there are three types of indie gamers. There's burning wheel people, sorcerer people, and riddle of steel people.

Sometimes I feel like the last living riddle of steel guy.

Speaking of which, I want to play it again. A big 20-session campaign. I'll run.

You, John, are definitely a beautiful snowflake.

Hardly. I just think you've overestimated games and gamers.

Everyone is playing Dungeons & Dragons, regardless of the game they are playing.

I can make this argument on the web, but I won't because it will degenerate into Stupid.

Actually, James Wallis beat all of us to it.

I don't have a link, but if you can find him, he'll tell you all about it.

And he's wrong. D&D isn't a roleplaying game. (http://wickedthought.livejournal.com/731689.html)
