And everyone (even myself) is guilty of it. We don't act like D&D players. We act like 2014 players, 2024 players, Level Up players, Shadowdark players, 4e players, Pathfinder players, OSR players, etc etc. And we fight like we are going to convert everyone else to our preferred version and thus our team wins. If I can just show you how wrong your beliefs are, you'll see the wisdom and join my side. Thus, we fight for every inch of land in this evangelical war. And most of the time, the fights are exactly to highlight why MY interpretation is correct, and YOURS is inaccurate.Half the D&D 2024 threads are full of people who don't play 24, won't buy 24, haven't kept up with the 24 changes, but sure as hell have opinions on 24. The same is and was true of 4e. Of OSR games. You get the idea. Nothing generates content like controversy and the quickest way to do that is criticism. So yeah, I can see why people people opt for a "if you don't like it, don't talk about it" take. Because defending what you like day after day is tiring. And it's not like we're having overly new arguments. We're still arguing about martials vs casters, evil humanoids, sport vs war, and the nature of HP. And now we all have a game or edition that supports our vision, so we're all right and all wrong at the same time. I dunno, I just wish somehow there was more about what united us as "D&D players" less about why my version is superior to yours. Whatever happened to "it's all D&D"?Rant over. Continue with your regularly scheduled thread.</blockquote>
