Actually, that's one of the PBFs that I never really understood. I get a vague sense that the strip is mocking people who fight virulently over stupid, unimportant things, but I don't understand the last panel and I feel like I'm missing the real punchline of the joke.

Skub is for noobs. Everyone knows that Advanced Skub is the only way to go

Why do all these Skub haters feel entitled to come in to a pro-Skub thread and start with the name calling? You don't see me going to the Buks forum and calling everyone there worthless.

You young whippersnappers and your Advanced Skub. Back in my days, we walked 10 miles, uphill, both ways, to get our basic Skub. And we like it!!

I just hate Skub! It is nothing like the Scab used to be!
It is more like WoW and smells like a money grab.

I was using Skub back when J. Larry Wymaxx was mixing it up in his bathtub and selling it out of his garage.

I think it is just atrocious that they would try to call this new stuff Skub. I haven't actually seen or used it myself, but a friend of mine used it once, and from what he told me I think I would hate it.

People who know better only use Skub Classic...even though it has all long since expired and no one makes it anymore.

They took away everything I liked about Skub classic and then try to pass this new crap off as the new and improved Skub. This new Skub isn't even Skub. It's some dumb down, kindergarden Skub knock-off. I'm tossing every new Skub I see into the fire.

I can't believe how you guys (or one guy- probably there are a LOT of sock-puppets in this thread) are ganging up on VJ for one of the most intelligent Skub critiques I've ever read. This is a conspiracy if ever there was one.

knife fights are far more entertaining and decisive

Oh and you grognards should grow a new set of huevos and accept skub for the vast improvement it is. YOu guys are just scared of change. Unlike me and my elk who are ready and fearless when it comes to the latest and greatest fades to come through the gaming industry.

Remember diceless RPGs. Yeah there making a comeback
