Synnibarr was and is a trainwreck, like McCracken himself. Yet for all that, I still prefer the old "homegrown" feel of '80s and '90s RPG books over the glossy soullessness and sameness of the art and layout in today's game books. It's all so very professional and spoon-fed... subconsciously reminding the reader, "Hey, you *can't* make up your own world and you *can't* do this as well as we do. Your imagination is untrained. Your ideas suck. Buy our stuff, use our worlds, follow our metaplots, 'upgrade' to our next edition, and know that if you do your lame and shitty art and writing... well, people will laugh at you."

Come to think of it, that's true for *all* genre stuff nowadays...

Sorry. I guess I never quite got over being pissed off at Gygax and Arneson for telling me exactly what a dragon with red coloration could and could not do...

Oh you can still get that "homegrown" feel in the downloadable PDF books. I am tempted to run the "Squirrel Attack" game I downloaded as part of the Haiti relief pack. You can even play Squirrelferatu and learn Electronics! (I'm not sure I want to know what a squirrel would do with a working knowledge of electronics...)
