[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7573170, member: 85555"] I think it is unfair to expect people to bring anything other than their experience to a discussion. If you have a wider range of experiences, it is on you to figure out how to communicate with people who haven't had those experiences. But I think some folks are holding their gaming experience over the heads of others in this debate. Personally I am open to trying all kinds of games, and I don't even really play D&D anymore (at least not that often). And if I do play D&D now, it is usually an OSR version. And while there are games I like to play and try, there are others I don't have much interest in (DW, Burning Wheel and FATE all have very little appeal to me). Doesn't mean I haven't looked into them or tried playing them. A game like FATE for example, I wanted to like because there was a setting put out using that system that I really wanted to try, but I just can't to connect with the system. I don't think that should be held against me in a discussion like this (especially when I think it is clear I am basically getting what posters are saying about those systems, but some of my words are being used against me to imply I am not). But that said, I've tried to explain that I do like to try and play other games. I have a whole group of players where this pretty much all we do (I don't usually run the games, but I am a player in a game where we rotate systems, often times very experimental and quirky systems). But to get to metagaming stuff. I wasn't paying close attention to that part of this conversation. If it is the sort of thing I am imagining it might be, I don't know,I don't care if people want to metagame in their games. As far as this thread goes though, I think the OP pretty much poisoned the discussion from the start. [/QUOTE]
