[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7013753, member: 15700"] It tells me I know what the word means. You keep assuming that they did not give any thought into this. This is the second time you've said this. That's not true. They did give thought into it, and decided it's not in scope for what they want. It's like what Skip Williams said about 2e, "Of course we thought about ascending AC, but we wanted all the material people already owned to be compatible with the new 2e system." Just because there aren't as many options you want doesn't mean they didn't think about it like you keep saying. Especially when they've directly addressed your problems by saying "here are the tools to mold the game you want to make it." And of course, that's all ignoring the fact of what the word actually means, and what you've suggested does not fit that description. "Advanced" also implies that only smarter players can or do play it. It was one of the big knocks against TSR labeling, and why when WoTC came out with 3e, they just called it "D&D" straight up. Nothing what you suggested is more advanced (complex) than what already exists in the game. So why are you so stuck on that name? Because it implies people who use it are smarter and you want to feel smarter than other gamers? Not pretending. Looking at actual definition... [/QUOTE]
