A modest proposal: The Edition Wars "Swear Jar"

[Shawn_Kehoe]

Hello!

I was perusing the D&D forum after a long absence, and it appears that the Edition War threads are still very much alive and well. I find this sort of sad, as I figure it's better to work with things you enjoy rather than tear down things you hate.

So!

I make the semi-serious suggestion of Edition Specific "Swear Jar" Threads, which would be repositories for player generated spells, monsters, NPCs, etc. If you find yourself getting mired in edition debates, you can go to one of these threads and share something you've created for the system you love.

And if you just wanna contribute original material without fighting about editions in other places ... great!

Just an option to consider.

Shawn

I am at least intrigued by this proposal. Sounds like it could be kind of fun.

Better yet, any time you find yourself saying something bad about any edition of D&D, go donate to the Rebuilding EN World Kickstarter.

Maybe, but first we need to war over it a bit.

Both true.

Discussing the flaws of a game is not edition warring.
