[QUOTE="Barastrondo, post: 5113290, member: 3820"] I hold with the words of Old Geezer (I forget his real name, unfortunately) from RPG.net. Old Geezer's notorious for having played with Gary back in the day. He still plays brown-box to this day, and he's locally infamous for admitting to having a hand in the creation of the gelatinous cube. Whenever a play style debate starts bogging down into minutiae, or someone questions why some particular oddity of D&D ever came into being, he says "We made up some [swear word] we thought was fun." That's all they needed. It works for me. (He also says "Kill them and take their stuff" a lot. And "Buy me a beer, kid." He's a wise one.) Yeah, pretty much. Like I say, group chemistry is critical, and knowing what your players like is paramount. That's why I'm always up-front about the kinds of games I run; if someone finds my gaming style not to their taste, they're not really going to enjoy playing with the rest of my friends, and my friends aren't going to enjoy playing with them. I do know some people who'd play any game even if they knew they'd be miserable in it, but I'm careful not to invite them over to the house. [/QUOTE]
