Also pretty disappointing. I think the T2013 rules are excellent, and there's nothing stopping those who don't like it's backstory from using that rules set with the original T2K timeline. At least it sounds like Frank took a look at T2013. I'm disappointed that Scott would voice strong negative opinions about something he's never personally read.
This drives me insane (I'm sure it drives those involved with 2013, such as Tegyrius, even more apoplectic). The rules for 2013 are great IMHO. People bash the background and end up throwing away the baby with the bath water. I'm also on record as saying the background isn't so bad, just that I grew up with the v1 background and would prefer to use that. There is no reason you can't use the rules with whatever background you wanted to use them with. How many people that bash 2013 ever gave it a fair chance?

And Frank wishes he could use something like Savage Worlds? UGH. I loathe Savage Worlds. Played several different games with that system (Fantasy, Noir, Deadlands Reloaded etc) - it's so milquetoast its boring. All characters essentially feel the same, none of the various magic systems inspire anything but abject boredom for me, and the system seems so dumbed down and generic. Just not a fan at all. I prefer crunch in my rules, thank you
