"Hey guys, just took a gigantic poop. It looks like Stan Lee. Who'll give me $10 for it!!" Exalt just cause it was funny and a bit true.

I think it was pretty telling when Mark Ashby in that big thread essentially said the official board wasn't really official, and fans shouldn't expect FG staff to read it. I answered Mark when he said that and was expecting to be banned for doing so. After my last banning I was so pissed I went to Tom. First, he had no idea who LWPD was. I had to tell him twice it's the person who runs your board. I got into it with him about it being the official board, but Tom said he doesn't want anything to do with the message boards and just stays completely out of everything. I told him it has your name on the board, it says official, how can you have nothing to do with it? It didn't matter he wouldn't help me out with anything.

Yeah Rob called the O board the little kid board. Wildfire was told there is no real life wrestling discussion, but vegas can talk about what show he is going to, post a poll for a match at the show he is going to, whatever he feels like. If I say the word dvd I will be banned, but vegas can talk about all the dvds he owns and buys. Ty, don't forget - he signed the people that are ON the DVDs, so obviously that's perfectly fine to discuss.

It is sad to see such such a small community fractured, especially when a small few PEOPLE are doing the fracturing.

I think it's pretty obvious Tom isn't making the game because he likes it anymore, he's either a) trying to milk his few fans out of the last bits of money or b) Trying to use the game as a stepping stone to what he really wants to do.
I think it's mostly 'b' actually... otherwise he wouldn't have let the POW and GWFZ sets happen. The fact of the matter is he's got very little left for the GWF, I think the last few sets have made that clear. What I don't get is what he's trying to do.. Be an author? A game designer? Stan Lee Groupie? Maybe he doesn't know either, and that's the problem.
Sure, there are a few highlights, but for the most part, anyone 'current' is doing their own thing... there's a reason for that.
It's a real shame he didn't pass the whole show on to Osk a couple years ago when it seemed to be heading in that direction, I think that would have been alot better.... at least it would have been different.

I don't know... he wouldn't be able to justify it at all to Osk and TM. and they do pay a little attention to what's going on.
You might be right, though, I suppose if it happened I wouldn't be shocked.

Just a couple of quick thoughts...
Some guys like to only play with dice...great for them... Some guys like the COTGonline...I'm happy for them... Without desktop...I would not still be in COTG...I travel alot...therefore, it is a pain to carry a bunch of cards...COTGOnline is just too limited...plus...I may not always have Internet connectivity. I can understand why, in a business sense ($), FG would want to promote Online...but it is limiting.
As to the new color cards...I don't really have a problem with the color...I do have a problem with the new size and the small changes in the cards. You want to change a card...re-issue it. Don't give me minuscule changes over years that I have to keep up with. Also, the size almost spits on all previous card issued.
I think all of this is leading to a computer issued only card set as we are beginning to see in the pdfs. Can someone explain to me why previous out of print sets (such as classics) have not be re-issued in pdf? even in the original Black (or Blue) and White? The cost has to be minimal and the company could gain in each instance?
I will play on the Desktop until it breaks down...then...I may leave altogether if a better a venue is not available.
One mans opinion.

It has to be too many other things Tom has going on, more important to him, as to why more out of print sets aren't put out as pdfs. That's what I think. That and the couple other people he has helping him haven't done it yet.

The lack of a PDF for the EC set mystifies me.. there are at least 20 people that have posted in the last couple months that they want it. It would take, what, an hour to scan them? Maybe a half a days work of tweaking the files to make everything nice?
That's got to be worth it!
Don't even get me started on Cotgonline....
It's funny you say it's a pain to travel with the cards... I actually find that to be a really easy thing to bring with me when I travel... one little stack of guys (whatever fed I'm playing), the 3 charts, dice, and a notebook and I'm good to go.... less weight than a novel (of which I always also have a few) and the wife doesn't cry I'm depriving her of facebook by taking the laptop.

They might look at getting a new LOW/LOTF card in the promoter each issue. I'd be more for someone new rather than an alternate of an existing guy like with Hero, Delirious and Jacobs so far.
