Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aldarc" data-source="post: 8767091" data-attributes="member: 5142">I'm not telling you to stop playing D&D. I'm suggesting that your gaming preferences may be better suited by other games or designing your own fantasy heartbreaker. These are not synonymous statements. I'm also telling you that the composition of the six ability scores are not likely to change. I'm also telling you that your personal preferences are not necessarily shared by the larger fanbase. Sorry, but are you agreeing with Yaarel or me here? Because the bold has been a stated part of my position. I am not deciding anything and neither is Yaarel. I recognize that the D&D is larger than either one of us. I recognize that it's WotC's brand: I also recognize that my own preferences are not necessarily reflected in the larger fanbase or the will of the majority. Please note that I have not said what my personal preferences for the ability scores are. I personally don't like the six ability scores as they are. I do believe from my own participatory experience, however, that the larger D&D fanbase is more recalicitrant to such changes with things like the six ability scores and I don't see those changing anytime soon, especially due to the emphasis on D&D's brand and legacy. WotC is welcome to prove me wrong. It's their game. Likewise, Yaarel is welcome to do what he wants with the game and hack it as he pleases, but I do think - based on the sort of changes I have seen him propose for D&D - that he is pining for a fantasy heartbreaker.</blockquote>
