That would be the worst of timing, as those who have been particularly offensive (unprovoked), have apparently said all they wish to say on those matters.
I know I should listen to what my mother always said about not being able to say something nice about something, but I have to mention something.
I have participated at ENworld since it inception, since when it was Eric's alone. I have seen many a discussion get a bit heated, I have seen threads spin wildly out of control.
I frankly can not remember a poster go out of their way to out of hand dismiss anothers points, to cry foul, and be blind to the manner in which they are acting. Kudos to you Aus Snow, you get the Ruin Explorer prize for slavish devotion to arguing a person and not the point.
Sorry, I threw that in there, but when one see injustice and all...
It's funny to me but I do not think 1e D&D did the horror genre any better, then 3.5 and yet the first seminal D&D "horror" type module,
Ravenloft, in the hands of a good DM was very horrific.
Horror to me boils down to Personal interactions with a Entity or Force that works differently then the world should. D&D zombies are Night of the Living Dead zombies, the problem is D&D characters are not like us. To get an effect like Night of the Living Dead, you have to change the rules a bit.
