I hear ya.  There are a lot of moderators and game designers who think that the
latest technology is all they need to make a great game.  (Hence the period
posts from guys who claim they will shake up the PbM world with their "soon to
be released" game that never does materialize - but that's another topic!)

IMO, a well-designed game with a nasty ASCII printout is still better than a
pretty but hollow game.
