Christian, I’ve known Bruce since the early ’90s when we both used to work the ICE booth at Gen Con every year. We both loved the Hero System, as you can tell by the fact I wrote Western Hero and Bruce went on to become the system’s developer for a while.

As for PCs/Macs, I think of Windows as the Dark Side because it seduces Mac users (like me) with its games and such, pulling them from the path of righteousness. But that’s just a silly metaphor. Honestly, both systems are solid these days. I prefer the Mac’s sense of design and comparatively well-unified interface, but I’m happy to have my new Windows machine on its way too.

I thought about running Windows on a new Mac using Boot Camp, but it seemed like a lot of extra money. Macs cost more to begin with, and if you toss the cost of a copy of Windows on top of that, it’s less attractive. Since I already have an iBook on which I work, I thought it would be great to have a true Windows machine around that I could use for games and for the odd projects I have that require them.

On the REVs project, for instance, I produced a CD-ROM that works on OS X and Windows XP. To test it out, I had to run over to my mother’s house and use her computer. This will make things much easier.

Now if only we could get him to run a Champions game…old school…none of this 5th edition revised stuff. Why these young whippersnappers today…they don’t know what it was like when Marksman and Foxbat were bringing smiles to young children’s faces.

God help those, who in the 80s, weren’t on the Macintosh team.

PC’s on the other hand are held together, loosely, by an operating system (if they choose it). They are often collections of parts from different eras. The companies who make games for them are a rag tag army.

That doesn’t mean that Microsoft is the rebels or anything, I look at them as Correllian Corp who provides stuff for the rebels. Walk into a store selling PCs and their are many manufacturers, even for the basic processor.

Walk into an Apple store…you are walking into an Empire.
