[QUOTE="Luce, post: 6057285, member: 29760"] My point exactly when I talked about the two sides of the screen expectations. IMO with the encroaching sentiment that everything is core and everyone plays, if not the 1-to-1 exactly same then very compatible game ignore the fact that in fact DM do make campaigns their own prissily by making the changes that make sense to them with the intent to make the gaming experience better. In other words to some people changing the contents of MM is the same as making longsword do 1d12 damage vs large creatures in all editions. I would not have problem with either, as long as the DM tells me that there are deviations from RAW, preferably also giving me a list of those changes without spoilers. As for why I group 3e and 4e, in the context of this discussion I see both as shift in the direction of making the rules not only consistent in terms of crunch but also in fluff. Thus the concept of overcampaigns, fluff that applies to all those who choose to run a game in published one (or even the one implied in the core books). While there are several advantages to this approach it can also lead to the mentality that if you change detail X in setting/edition Y you are not in fact playing Y but a homebrew. (And should go be ashamed in the corner.) In the same vain, since not everyone uses the same rules it is not inconceivable that not everyone applies errata. My game is not "broken" it is differently structured ;) then the RAW and by your statements Neonchameleon so is yours. [/QUOTE]
