Gawd, I hope this will be AL legal! I can already hear all the hard eye-rolling at all the tables as so many players invariably bring out their tortle monks. Please yes...

Look, don't get me wrong. I have a special, nostalgic place in my heart for Star Frontiers, too. But I see you made passing mention of Star*Drive. Yeah. That's where I'd get giddy. Loved me some (Alternity) Star*Drive...

What does that even mean? I'm going to ask that you stop butchering the term "RPG", twisting it to your narrow purposes. I think you may be better served by a more accurate term, like "thespian exercise" or something. Because D&D is not only "solely an RPG", it is the definitive one, by...

Does my greater experience here on this forum, as well as likely in TTRPGs in general, trump your assessment? Because I disagree with your theory. In fact, it may be the opposite. What if the people who complain most about "combat balance" are the ones who are so focused on combat that they...

Yet there you were, insinuating otherwise... It's amazing how little a point you actually had when the truth of what I said, and your agreement with its inherent truth, is solidified on all sides. The cognitive dissonance you are exhibiting, between the way you read my original response to...

Considering your last two posts are so indicative of your posting style, I'm not certain how you can hope to be seen as taking any kind of high road. Between my last two posts and your last two posts, guess which ones are in violation of the forum rules...

Given that as true, what do you think *is* the primary reason some people find little-to-no imbalance issues with some of these things you find so egregiously troubling?

I'm worried my request for a follow-up, after having been called out by name, is going to fall off the current page of this thread. And that my patience, to this point, will fail to be rewarded with the common courtesy of a response.

I don't see the issue with raising up old threads, if the topic is something you wish to contribute something to. Heck, sometimes its even fun, or enlightening, to stroll down memory lane. IMX, I've noticed people sometimes get the most upset about such things when it contains unflattering...

...and ironically, in my mind at least, more rewarding as well. Strangely, I think I got less enjoyment out of running the last couple editions of the game than I do out of this one. The more my role, as DM, was expected to be "rote, box-text reading, RAW-applier", the less I got out of it...

shoak1, Not sure what "side" you think I'm on, but by including me above I could use a clarification. Are you saying you disagree with my theory that there are some systems/editions better suited for certain types of individuals? And that maybe the same can be said of game forums?

Hippie!

Just as there are some systems/editions better suited for certain types of individuals, maybe the same can be said of game forums? Just a wild theory...

Hey! Don't knock Hero Quest! I love that game!

(yawn) You're just further reassuring me that 5e isn't for you. Evidently hyperbolic complaining is, though. So keep doing what you're doing, I guess. (shrug)

I find it interesting the way people perceive things. You know, what with it passing through their own filters and such... Yeah. What a terrible suggestion. (rolleyes) Again, why is this a problem? Seems like a logical response to someone who finds a lot wrong with a particular system, or...

And you could even theoretically get a short rest in between each, for that supposed "requisite 2/day" people think is a thing...

Not every system is designed to cater to every player or their preferences. Have you considered a more robust ruleset/edition? One better suited to your table's preferences?

If you say so. I won't get into a peen measuring contest with you, even though I've read countless as well over the last nearly four decades. I guess my qualifications for what constitutes a good module being different from yours might mean something other than how many we've read...

My guess runs counter to yours. I wonder if that means anything... By your estimation. I'm willing to put hard earned dollars there are a lot of modules, released over D&D's long life, that you haven't read. Yet you are willing to speak to them all and what they should have in them. But since...
