I love when this gets brought up. The Pinkertons of today are not the armed militia that was used to bust unions with brute force. People use this reference to make it sound like they sent the Hells Angels to rough up some card collector in his mom’s basement. The modern Pinkertons are a 3rd...

Oh i have no doubt that 5e is designed to make sure everyone gets tucked in safe at the end of the night. On this we agree. I started playing in 1988 with the Basic red box and played every edition except 4e. I missed out on that edition for logistical reasons and not mechanical ones. Most...

This would depend wildly on what stupid decisions were made when by each character. The value of any given game shouldn't be how long does your character last. At least I don't think so. Is that the way the game is designed to run or is that the way the DM decides to run it? I wouldn't join a...

I’ll have to take your word for it.

You're hostility adds to (if not proves) my point. You like a thing and consider it progress. The thing you like has no value to me and therefore to me it's just change as it doesn't progress my game play. This seems to bother you. Hence progress is determined by its value to the end user. I...

We never played that way. So again I posit that one persons progress is not I have never shown up to a game (even in 1e) with more than one character. I've never played this way and it sounds horrible to me. My not liking it means its not progressing anything for me. Which leads me back to my...

I don’t know what a funnel adventure is. Is having it an actual improvement over not having it…or…are there just people who like them vs. people who don’t?

Isn't change vs. progress when discussing games determined by the end user? If i like the change its progress. If i don't like the change its just change. I'm 104 years old and have been playing D&D specifically since i was knee high to a butter churn* I have no sense of nostalgia for it. I...

In that case; I think you know what to do. It involves the lamentation of women and all that. 😎

Are we talking people on the spectrum or just strange behavior?

Is this a behavioral issue or are they not understanding how cooperative games are played?

They should totally send you a basket of muffins!!!

I think you are just annoyed that he doesn't think like you do. It would seem that the general consensus is that he was describing his views on what the game means to him and you are making it sound like he he attacked you personally. Good luck finding what you are after.

Are people defending Mearls or are they trying to explain their point of view regarding his remarks? Is it that you don't like that people might agree with him?

The level of commitment you get from a casual player can be down right demoralizing to a DM that at the very least wants players to understand how THEIR character works. That being said, you would think that people who barely know the foundations of the game that they ARE playing would put up...

If there is a thing to be hated, people will hate it.

My DM used to roll for funsies all the time. Random rolls....scribble on a sheet of paper...ask players at random what their AC was or how many HP they had left....just random inquires that he would never follow up on. He'd also ask us to roll random dice and never tell us why. ;) If...

I'm currently waiting on something like 5 Kickstarters so; i'll get back to you. ;)

I keep telling you people.....PLAYERS ARE THE WORST!!! Why won't anyone believe me?!?! :eek:
