[QUOTE="Salad Shooter, post: 1994332, member: 9709"] I've noticed a trend on forums. A large portion of the population ( or at least a number of the more vocal ones) have their pet game/system/etc, and will argue to the death why their chosen game is superior to the rest of them. This isn't completely universal, Enworld is one of the more friendly places to appreciate other games, but there is still some here. The wizards forums are notorious for such. So why the hate? Am I a naive person who is missing some golden light somewhere? Or am I one of the enlightened few who acknowledge that there is no one true way? And for those out there who shoot down all but their chosen system, have you played in any other system? I know many of you have, so please don't lynch me. My one friend dislikes White Wolf products because there is too much fluffy stuff, White Wolf's strength, in my opinion, before you get to the rules. I enjoy d20 because of the (relatively) solid ruleset. I enjoy WoD because of the huge amounts of fluffy goodness. I enjoy Palladium games because of the great ideas they tend to come up with. So, does the majority of you that only like one system like it because you've found your perfect world? Do you only like one system because you've never played in another setting? Do you fear for your wallet to much to branch out (I know mine is hurting...)? Why? [/QUOTE]
