Again, you have not answered the question put to you. I want to know your answer, with the same simple declarative with which you announced in your original post, "Pathfinder is D&D" (emphasis all yours). So let's try again. To make this easy, you just quote me, and delete the part of the...

A dwarven engineer familiar with powder wouldn't be familiar with a petard? But yes, I agree with your larger point, and I fill in this sort of thing quite often for the players on behalf of their characters.

That grinding sound you hear is me wearing down my molars. (I really don't like this advice.) Now, to the original post. Why does a lord choose less experienced adventurers over more experienced adventurers? Because the lord's rival badmouths him so that only inexperienced adventurers will...

No. you danced around answering it. It's not a complicated question, and the courtesy of a yes or no answer, in keeping with your original post, would be appreciated.

So do you buy Whizbros products?

I saw all of those games at Target, too - I hadn't heard of Deadwood and it caught my eye. I've never seen any of the D&D board games you mention. Ever. Anywhere.

That doesn't answer my question. If Pathfinder is D&D, as you stated it is in your original post, then is Castles and Crusades also D&D? Is Lamentations of the Flame Princess D&D? Is Mutant Future D&D?

Still wondering, Mercurius.

Have you ever had to answer the question, "Does this dress make my butt look big?" How you say it matters, no matter what your intent may be.

Mercutio01, that hole's not gonna stop diggin' itself.

Is Castles and Crusades also D&D? How about Lamentations of the Flame Princess? Or Mutant Future?

I put myself in the head of the non-player characters in the campaign and act on what they know, rather than what I as the omniscient referee know. Listening to the players' plans and then thwarting them based on that knowledge is too metagamey for me. To the extent practicable, I'll determine...

More hours in the day.

Flashing Blades.

Y'know, you can post a vlog in response, right? Asking people to stalk this poor girl in her comments seems both creepy and petty.

Did you actually read the thread that went with the poll, 'cause I addressed this in the example?

:) Someone at Dragonsfoot made a trenchant observation: each successive edition of D&D is clamored for, and often written by, people who don't like the current iteration of the game. In other words, every edition represents the interests of cranks.
