"the situation"? Too serious?

Hunger, war, strife, disease - some folks may find these things too serious to joke about, and I could understand that. But gaming is nowhere near those things. This is a hobby, an amusement, a way to pass the time with friends. People did this for millennia without RPGs, and would continue well enough without them, if they had to.

One of the major problems on these boards, that has caused much of our internal friction on EN World, is that people failed to understand that this is just a game, and what edition is in print/supported/superior/whatever is not worth getting angry at each other about - that the game isn't as important as people. We took our hobby too seriously, and paid a rather nasty price for it.

If we'd only kept perspective, we'd have been better off. So, with respect, to your, "too serious for humor," I say, "Plbtltltplt!"

I will certainly support D&D until the day I die. But I don't think that the situation is serious or dire. If nothing else, the OGL assures that D&D will live on, even if the D&D trademark dies.
