<blink, blink, blink>

good thought, man. damn good thought, about the MMORPG. hate those things
myself..freakin' waste of time, IMHO...but i gots friends who dig 'em, so it's
all good.

i couldn't see immortal bein' captured on any computer game...hell, who the
freak am i kiddin....i still hate 2nd and 3rd edition immortal...stuck in 1st
edition with all the beautiful rules and complexities...sigh.....mah point,
yo...is this...

computer games are awesome, in their own right. immortal tends to be more of
a personal roleplaying experience with complex rules which allows for creative
usage (ever ember a tornado's green as an attack or maybe gave a newborn baby
the nature doom as a practical joke?) which no other game system ever, ever,
ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever had before or since. i got into
it at gencon a few years back by some bloke who convinced me that i, and my
group, should play ourselves as awakening immortals. hell, it was a good time.

when i imagine immortal as a computer game, it loses the complexity and
creativity. the seranades become mere spells. talents will be nuttin' more than
3rd edition feats (f! 3rd edition). everything good about immortal, for me,
disappears......

then again, i'm a depressing guy :) what the heck do i know? if you think it
could work, then there should be a way to get it goin, right?

would make a good one. Dats all.
