Gotta say the new gimmick systemi is fun. The little perks that you semi-randomly get do make it more fun (assuming they work; I don't see immediate differences).
I don't know if they actually do anything, but it's really fun to see what you get. There are a fair number of changes I'm on the fence about, but the new gimmick system is an absolute thumbs up for me. I don't think I could go back to the old gimmick system.

Of all the things to use as a comparison D&D?
Let's use a far better comparison like football. If FM used a fictional database.... Average scores of matches for an EPL season are 8-6 and when complaints are made players are told working as intended because it's a fictional db.
If RW modders were to model balance on CV most smaller companies would grow far more rapidly than they do in reality. Far more stars would be made than in reality due to hundreds of workers having OP stats. That's only stats, I've not touched the issue of CV creeping into every corner of the game. Just last week a dev when discussing broadcasters said something like "It's not 100% realistic they're made for CV". So CV is now changing the definition and way simple things like broadcasters work.
I also suggest anyone interested in this topic to do some research on it because there's a lot of history. See how the CV evolved, how it was used in one TEW in particular to plug over some very obvious holes in the game.
Whether you enjoy it or not shouldn't be questioned. Has it been overall good or bad for the game should be questioned.
I'm a nerd whose screen name and avatar come from a gaming comic book. Sue me.
I enjoy the Cverse, but prefer mods. I'm a big fan of yours. But my point remains true. The game engine was balanced using the Cverse as a base. The more a mod differs from the Cverse, the more likely that wonky things will happen, especially long-term.
-
You realise CV is entirely fictional? The mod makers goal isn't to model the CV, it's to model real world or the time period as best as possible.
Everyone has a subjective opinion about a real life subject, that is true. But that isn't the problem with real world mods.
It's a very tired meme on the community, treating people with disdain and dismissal for using modded content. It's just as valid a way to play the game or there wouldn't be an editor to mod to begin with.
The info in a mod should reflect the time period, but the balance should reflect the Cverse. If you're playing 1st Edition AD&D, and you see a really badass sword in a movie, you obviously want your version to reflect the awesomeness of the blade. But you still need to balance it somewhere in the range of short sword(1d6 dam)/long sword(1d8 dam)/2-handed sword(1d12 dam), because that's the balance that the game engine is built around.

I'm definitely buying on release day. Some of the changes I'm a little leery of, but overall I like it. It feels different enough from 2016 to warrant the purchase, imo.

I want to add my voice to the chorus thanking you for your mods. I really hope we'll see your mods for 2020, but I'll understand if you tap out.

<p>Taking a small breather from my TCW game to do a pseudo-RTG game in The Golden Age mod.(I'm following the rules, but I reserve the right to tweak the money situation with my fed if I'mm enjoying myself.) John Gotti is the owner of a hardcore fed in New York (that is too early going by the trends). I assume he's using it to launder money, because he won't let me hire anyone known for having trouble with the law.</p><p> </p><p>
Interesting bits so far. Chief Wahoo and Jackie Stallone have passed away. Both Steiners are hurt (Rick with a Damaged Achilles Tendon, and Scott with a Semi-Severed Spinal Column). Both Road Warriors are hurt( Hawk just broke his Tail Bone for a month, but Animal is out for half a year with a Torn ACL). That should alter this universe's tag scene. </p><p> </p><p>
Roddy Piper is going to Hollywood to make a musical(?). I guess The Maniac got a role in Nightman:The Musical.</p><p> </p><p>
My backstage area is hurting, in large part because apparently John Gotti is kind of a douche to work for. I have a clique in the making as Shane Douglas, Cactus Jack and Owen Hart are all good pals. Oh, and Rocco "The Cheetah Kid" Rock got caught with drugs in the backstage area, but I let it slide because, hey, it's the '80s.</p><p> </p><p>
Oh, and both of The Southern Belles are pregnant. GLOW's backstage area must be a very busy place.</p>

That was an incredible show, and your postscript was genuinely touching.
-
Another great show. Love Pillmania and the Canadian Tavern scene.
-
-
I'm going to go with Steve Austin. I think Austin vs Savage would have so much anger in the ring you would need Lou Ferrigno as a special guest referee.
-
Incredible show, with too many high points to list them all. I do want to single out one that thrilled me, Meng as the new US champ!

Great shows. I can't pick a high point, but if I absolutely had to, a front-runner would be the fact that the fate of WCW's leadership depends on an epic showdown between Richard Stevenson, attorney-at-law, and "The Superfan" Devon King.
-
Incredible show!
-
I like the new write-up for SN, the way it groups the angles by storyline keeps it neat. It works as kind of a B+ show.
How "close" are the various products to each other?
