[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8514236, member: 22779"] Because, for the past twenty years or so, EVERY SINGLE TIME we talk about anything that relates to D&D, you see the same refrain repeated over and over and over - this is the way the game was. Anyone who didn't play that way either is remembering it wrong, or should be ignored because THIS is the way the game was played. And you must accept that THIS is the way the game was meant to be played, because I'm part of the OSR and no matter what, you must accept the word from the mount about the way the game was intended to be played. Over and over and over again. For twenty freaking years. It's poisoning the well and piddling on every conversation. It's telling people that they just don't really understand how the game was meant to be played, so, any of these new changes are bad. You just don't understand why they're bad because you just don't understand how the game evolved back in the day. If it was something that popped up once in a while, that would be fine, but, it's ... every... freaking .... time. Heck, read through some of the drive by shots in the thread about [URL="https://www.enworld.org/threads/a-compilation-of-all-the-race-changes-in-monsters-of-the-multiverse.685355/"]D&D 5E - A Compilation of all the Race Changes in Monsters of the Multiverse[/URL] Monsters of the Multiverse and you see it. Change for changes sake. Ok they are ruining the game. Oh, WotC is completely ignorant of what "real"gamers want. So on and so forth. You're right, it doesn't encroach on my freedom, but, it's a serious pain in the petoot to have to wade through that crap every freaking time. [/QUOTE]
