I - personally - tend to prefer open gaming, because I'm still a boardgamer before I am a roleplayer, and very few RPGs have managed to have the same pick-up-and-play that most board games have.Eric Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877668655911388079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19166289.post-46807642996381019832013-05-29T07:32:42.921-07:002013-05-29T07:32:42.921-07:00"Open gaming" != "gaming."

So while I haven't been to PAX (and probably never will due to date conflicts) I disagree with your logic about PAX handling tabletop gaming better based on them having more open gaming.James Gelusohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733897616420952986noreply@blogger.com
