Re: [DL] The Good, The Dead, and The Supported



One more thing:  Its funny.  Blacksburg (the home of Deadlands.... theme park scheduled for 2100) has a hard time for the following.  I know that Shane can attest that 30 mins outside of Blacksburg you can't find DL stuff unless its on order. (Star City comics but I won't mention names).  Its just not "trendy" as with the second coming (or is it 3rd) of D&D and the arrival of the d20 glut.  However, I know that the end is nigh when I see White Wolf D20.

Um, White Wolf seems to have that elitest culture.  Or at least the ones that I have met.  Its funny.  I know Clint "I love being E-VILE" Black frequents the same store that I go to but other than that, I can't really find a following in my area.  Most of the stores are geared for Miniatures or Clix.

Someone mentioned forming a lynch mob? I'm in.
 
I can hardly beleive the stuff I'm hearing. the guy rolling his eyes... it's almost like there's an elitist preppy group among gamers! While in highschool  when we were all being laughed at by the trendy kids in polo-shirts and sweaters for wearing our Optimus Prime t-shirts, there seems to be a similar group among us gamer geeks!

Pardon me while I bash him over the head with my spitoon full of Fate Chips.
