[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 7280893, member: 6802604"] Maybe I missed it... that opening post was beastly afterall, I wholeheartedly recommend paragraphs moving forward... but did someone steal your Third Edition books? Were you sitting down to a nice game of Third and the Wizards of the Coast Sekret Polize broke down the door and gave you a thrashing? Perhaps your gaming group wholly embraced tbe new edition but you haven't? That last one almost seems plausible, but all things considered I saw nothing in that wall of text that told me why you feel the need to fish around the internet asking strangers to convince you to play a game you apparently don't like. So I'll ask you a question... Fifth Edition, why? Despite the overall, shall we say sarcastic, tone of my post I'm genuinely asking the question. [I]Did[/I] your gaming group fall head over heels for the new edition and you're finding yourself forced to grit your way through it? Is there some other reason I'm too tired to think of right now [I]why[/I] you can't just keep playing the edition you actually enjoy? Really, what this comes down to for me, is why anyone would force themselves to play a game that just doesn't click with them, especially to the point where they're just asking randos on the interwebs to convince them. Your old books are still there, keep playing that game if that's what you like, it's generally just that simple. And by the by, a better way to have gone about this wouldn have been to simply ask something like "Hey, what is it you all like the most about Fifth Edition?" rather than attack Fourth Edition while simultaneously saying you don't like Fifth and asking "Why should I play this game I don't like?" It's a way to generate a more positive thread and still get people's feedback, potentially reading something that makes you think "Yeah, that is pretty cool, maybe I should give this another try." Oh and paragraphs. Those would have been mint... ;) [/QUOTE]
