Would it be wrong ...

[Hirram]

... to ask when Luke will write a Magic Burner, just for old times' sake?

[birdlander]

I think Luke's already issued an FAQ on that (http://www.burningwheel.org/forum/showpost.php?p=58698&postcount=26).

I think it's more of a Fatwa.

[luke]

I don't get it. But I do like to issue fatwas!

[Hirram]

It's just that we've been waiting so long, and so impatiently, for the Magic Burner, I think we'll almost miss pestering you about it.

[luke]

Surely there are other things you could pester me about? Perhaps you could join the chorus of people complaining (wrongly) that scripting takes too long and is too complicated? That's my second favorite after the "Where's the Magic Burner?!" questions.

[Hirram]

I like scripting, actually. I like the idea that there's some tactical choices to be made in combat beyond "I swing my sword" or "I cast magic missile at the darkness!"

I love scripting. I think the complaints are more "I can't get others to love it 'cause the find it hard" than people on the boards finding it hard. And, to be honest, some of those complaints might come because the people teaching scripting are already converts and can look past things like busy scripting sheets and lots of choices to make. I.e. it could be were bad teachers. :-(

I'll go one up on that and say that bloody versus is too complicated, I have to pick up my dice, divide them and roll them? I'm just one man.

There is a lot going on in Fight! A lot. I don't think Fight! is particularly slow, at all, but it intimidating.

Anytime you've got a matrix pushing 100 cells (and I'm not sold on the quality of the presentation in that matrix BTW) just for resolving one part of the combat it's going to spook people a bit. But IMO there is more than that behind the complaints that. Fight! is scary, you feel a little out of control. Foreseeing what the win/lose outcome is not easy. The thing that makes it good makes it intimidating, especially when you aren't used to your PC losing a conflict [in combat or otherwise].

Hey Luke, when is the Adventure Burner coming out?


If a forum is created dedicated to it, I bet that will be the question that replaces "Where's The Magic Burner?". ;-)
