[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7741523"] Where did I say "personal attack"? I said "hostility and aggression". You seem almost desperate to discredit me. To wit... And that's just in the first two posts. (I started to punch back after that, so further such comments are fair.) That's what I would have thought. And please don't offer the disingenuous, "Oh, I wasn't disrespecting [I]you[/I], just your poor reasoning skills and articulation..." What 'personal' are you quoting there? And, yeah, I either think you don't understand my argument, or are unwilling to consider that it might be valid because that would imply a legitimate criticism of this game you so ardently defend. Evidence for lack of understanding. You don't seem to understand the difference between "can be simulated by the rules" and being a foundational concept to the rules. For example, you [I]can[/I] simulate playing chess using D&D 5e rules (e.g. Int vs. Int, plus proficiency if proficient in chess) but that is not an argument that chess is a core theme to D&D. I thought I had to extensively play the game, not just read the book...? OMG YOU ARE CHANGING YOUR ARGUMENT! (Not really, but I'm trying to show how silly it is for you to keep accusing me of the same.) Honestly I don't really care if you give my opinion due weight, and I'm nearly certain you never will. I do think it's funny you are trying so desperately to discredit me to protect this game, and yet all you are doing is bumping this thread. Oh, please, such drama. If they are motivated by pure love of Howard, why do they try to extract royalties on something that is almost entirely out of copyright? Anyway, I'm not saying it's not "authentic." (Again, evidence you are not understanding my point.) The fluff is very authentic. I'm saying the [I]rules[/I] do not reinforce that authenticity. They are orthogonal, not opposed. Wow, you are really pissed about this. [/QUOTE]
