[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9219361, member: 6801845"] I happen to actually like the game this forum is theoretically dedicated to. I know, I know practically heresy around here. But here's the thing, as long as the rules work at all levels, as long as I have a reasonable number of ways to express characters I want to play, and the 5E rules do, I'm going to continue playing D&D. Maybe I'll switch to the 2024 edition rules, maybe I won't. There are very few things that I could learn about WOTC that would make me change that; I don't agree with some of what they do or consider doing but I care about the end product. I can find fault with every major corporation, and most small companies if we're being honest about it, if I look hard enough. There are a couple of popular businesses I refuse to buy from, but they're pretty exceptional. The stories we tell at the table, the jokes we make, the fun we have matters more to me than system. On the other hand I've looked into other systems now and then. Some are overly constricted to a single overall theme that leaves me cold, some just have systems that simply don't appeal to me. Throw in the lack of interest with a lack of opportunity to play other games and I suppose you could call me a loyalist. But if I'm a loyalist it's simply because D&D provides me more enjoyment and ongoing satisfaction than other games. I'm not loyal because of the label, I'm loyal because of the value I get out of the product. [/QUOTE]
