"Cal & D" (Wheaton blog)

[UnknownAtThisTime]

Wheaton had a nice take that touched on 'edition wars' a bit:

"We're not playing 4e," Cal said.
"Are we playing 3.5?" I asked, imagining a five hour encounter where I did little more than grapple.
"No, we're actually going to play a system I made up. It's sort of a hybrid of AD&D, 4e, and some other things. You're not even going to have character sheets." (Later on, we would describe this particular system as Cal & D.)

RPGs can be all about telling a collaborative story, using our imaginations, challenging our wits, and building heroic epics ... but they can also be an excuse to get together with people we like to goof off and leave the Muggle world behind for a few hours, seriousness be damned. Whenever a system holy war comes up, I'd encourage you to think about that ....

Read it yourself here (or don't - I'm not the boss of you):

In which we play Cal & D. - WWdN: In Exile
