Hey Vincent,
Does your gut-level fear of Burning Empires at least partially come from not wanting the indie scene to be re-absorbed back into the mainstream of roleplaying?
I know I've overcome some personal obstacles in the past in order to fully embrace Luke and The Burning Crew, because it sometimes seems like they're on their way to becoming the next Green Ronin, a small mainstream game company. Their terrific, full-color, 500-page brick of awesome symbolizes that fear for me, in some ways. That's not Luke's plan at all, I don't think, but I fear that more than I fear anything, that ultimately our flourishing little community of rebellion will somehow be standardized and conservative. It's an irrational fear, perhaps, but a real one.
