[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5169559, member: 15538"] Well, no. The idea was to distill out some interesting points to discuss intelligently, using the DMG passage as a shared reference for the topic. Much more productive than talking about life, the universe, and your mother. So far I haven't seen too, too much emotional carryover from the other thread, which is refreshing. I think it's a false dichotomy. The fact that a person who advocates fudging and a person who advocates not fudging can both read the DMG passage and find a lot to agree with suggests, apart from demonstrating that Gygax was writing in generalities that may be useful regardless of your specific viewpoint, suggests the divide is neither wide nor deep. I cannot imagine describing myself as less fun-oriented or less rules-oriented, only as fully oriented toward both. In my mind, using the RAW and "doing what needs to happen" can exist harmoniously under the general umbrella of competence by applying reason, consistency, and sensitivity. [/QUOTE]
