Hello everyone. I've posted here but once before, with a dumb question (converting Doom as a Blades of Avernum scenario). I hope this isn't such a stupid topic: I work with this goth who says that Computer RPGs AREN'T properly role playing games. I disagree. We both have histories with older paper 'n' pencil RPGs, btw. He plays the newer games, whereas I played D&D and Runequest when I was a kid (which is why I like Spiderweb games so much). Overall, I'd say he's full of crap. Avernum is certainly a role playing game--albeit with only one player. (Reminds me of the old solo dungeons for D&D, et al.) Have you all heard this opinion before? What do you think?

I really like BoA. I would hope it's not dead... I'm not a designer, but I've had a few ideas--for example, why not do a version of Doom for Blades? Or take a game like Deus Ex and make a scenario for that? (I'm working and going to school so I don't have alot of time, but if I did, that's what I'd do with this game...I really like how Michael Slack adapted Wizardry 1 for his "Proving Grounds, for example.)
