my ever growing lead pile goes all the way back to the 1970s, too.Ĭurrently, i am into mainly THWG rules, SKANK and a couple of other free rulesets for post apocalyptic gaming with miniatures, dice, and terrain on played everything from dinosaurs to starsships and starship troopers in my time still own v/1 brown box D&D, and black box v/1 TRAVELLER, among other rules. Oh, yeah, i am an aulde fart gamer named DAWGIE. Looking forward to seeing some if not all of y’all over at the THWG yahoogroup! i think that y’all will find that we are not a “cult” or band of punks, but, just nice folks like i am sure that most of y’all are with families, jobs, various gaming interests, who live in the real world most of the time, and enjoy our hobby when we can. OKAY, now things are hunky dory between ED and the author of MONSTER HUNTER, they have made their “oeace” over what was an honest misunderstanding, so i think it is time for the lynch mob to disperse and return to their homes, begin going about their business again, etc.Īnd i honestly suggest that any actual gamers among you lot, cruise over to THWG yahoogroup and “meet” about 3500 nice folks who play and enjoy THWG rules. BUREAU 13 and FRINGEWORTHY are the titles.Īlso, doe it not behoove a lynch mob, real or cyber, to at least try to get the facts straight before shouting “plagarism!”, “kill the infidel” and etc? This is the first time i have even “heard” of MONSTER HUNTER, but i know of at least two earlier RPGs that you folks might consider to be plagarizing the author’s work. No i do not have any financial connection to THWG, ED is not my brother, brother in law or related in any manner to me, but i am his friend, and have been playing with miniatures, rules, dice, terrain, on tabletops probably long before some of y’all were even concieved, or contemplated, and i have done been there and done that hell on earth where human beings kill each other, so i do not for one like to have RPGers or anyone else on the frankly, i doubt that 1 in 100 of you has the danglies to react in this manner to my face and within arms reach, but it is easy to be “brave” thanks to the intervening time/distance that seperates you and me, or you and anyone else, from a well deserved ante up to your long distance mouthing off. WELL, i am one of those “punks” that you folks are talking so glibly about blowing away, putting in the pillory, leading mobs against, loosing the dogs of ambulance chasing on, and etc. Baen Books owns the rights to MHI, and anything that ties in there needs to be cleared through them through proper channels. I know of at least a dozen different gamer groups that are running their own MHI based campaigns and I think that is awesome, but when someone uses a writer’s creation to make money, then that is different. I don’ t mind fan fiction, in fact I love it and there is some great MHI fan fic on the internet. I respect that he contacted me so quickly to apologize and to try to make things right. Ed apologized, said that he read that bit and got fired up, and should not have used my stuff like that. He apologized, and will be linking to where people can get my book. He will be putting up a thing on his page about that is where he got the idea. Yes, he was inspired by the first part of MHI. I spoke with the owner of the Two Hour Wargames after I posted this.
