He didn't say he hated Over the Edge, another great game that inspired the rules of (and is mentioned in) tSoY.

As far as hating every great game on earth, he didn't mention Unknown Armies or FATE (although his hate of FUDGE may spread to FATE for obvious reasons)

I just thought it was funny that he hates both GURPS and FUDGE. Aren't they both sides of the "crunch-continuum" of generic RPGs? One could try speculate what generic RPG he does like. Or he could just answer the question I posed on my thread.

I also thought his comment on "trendy" games was priceless. On the RPG.net boards, there is but one "trendy" game which all others quake in fear of. Just go to the Roleplaying Open board and look at about 10 random threads. 4-6 of them will be about that game. I promise it won't take Ben Stein to figure it out.

tSoY is known as a great game, and it is for it's great mechanics. It is mentioned often for the fact that it was written recently and has great mechanics which the writer states that he blatantly stole from other great games known for great mechanics. And the work is free, unless you want pikturs.

I suppose that could be considered trendy. I consider it kickass. And I'm usually a "troll". Go figure.
