A D&D Edition... into a SINGLE picture... (?)

[Relique du Madde]

Most of the posts have been trying for the funny rather than trying to start a flame war.

Trolls on both sides are being shouted down, though I will admit that some are wittier than others. (While some are only half-witty.) Seems the 4e trolls are busier this time around, or maybe just rolling badly on their Sneak rolls. It also seems like a lot of low post counts are chiming in. But don't worry, thick headed, moss covered, 3.X trolls will come lumbering down from the hills soon enough. (Then go back up, they forgot their clubs.)

I totally agree.

Since explaining my own choices in detail would be against this thread's rules, my first post was "What I don't like about the system." My "anime" set was more of series of images laced with ambivalence and personal insights that led me to the conclusion that X series represents Y version of DnD. (Yes, comparing Lodos War to 2e is not truly positive in my eyes).

it's frustrating because i like 3.x, pathfinder, and 4e, so I don't want to counter with a series of images that puts down 3.x/PF. Meanwhile, someone actually took someone else's mock of 3.x and reversed the images as if that constitutes a damning argument.

That was me. However that post was not about a damning argument. Reducing either 3.x or 4e to "Jerry Luis" when the rest of the images are evocative of fantasy is a kin to saying that that system is a farce and not worthy of even being considered on the level of the other systems within its own genre.

There's another post that has a list of cokes for each edition, but I thought I'd add this one since it seemed appropriate:

Hackmaster

(BTW - just so this doesn't get misinterpreted, I'm playing on the fact that Hackmaster tends to have artwork that's an over-the-top bloody parody of classic D&D. I'm not hating on Hackmaster )

Or maybe this?

Hackmaster
+12!

The Auld Grump

Heh, one thing about it, the poor troll put on some pounds over the years. Then again, looking at the early pics, he bloody well needed a bit.

I never likes how trolls looked. However, let me just say if 4e's trolls were not so "bulky" they would look perfect. Now that I think they remind me of someone...

Just as long as David Bowie keeps his junk away from me.

If Occam's Razor makes you believe one person has cunningly made dozens of accounts to invade EN World specifically just to post in a single thread to accuse others of Edition Warring, rather then, for example, someone just linking this thread on other forums...

...I'm not even sure what to say.

First, please re-read my post. I'm not sure where it shows any interest in making accounts, forum linking, or any other method of how anything was done. It only expressed the suspicious nature of the exact same criticisms appearing under multiple low post count users.

Secondly, regardless of how it was done, there's nothing about it that even remotely merits the adverb "cunningly".

I thought that picture was supposed to go with the Book of Erotic Fantasy.

What's really odd is that several of these low post counts seem to stop posting only to have another low post count show up with the exact same criticisms.

What kind of post count do I need before I can say this is the dumbest thread derailment yet?
