[QUOTE="payn, post: 9213169, member: 90374"] From a lot of your postings it seems like life has been a series of falling in and out of love with D&D. I understand that, but I also dont fully get it as never being a D&D "brand" guy. I have played D&D for some time now, but my games are less attached to the settings as perhaps a lot of others. I like D&D monsters and places, but I dont need them to be on brand to also enjoy a fantasy RPG game. I suppose thats why its been easy for me to really be into D&D at times, and to stray away from it at others. I love Golarion and was sold for PF1, but I've strayed from PF2 and its not really slowed me down. I know others are much more attached to their brands, systems, and editions. I am also curious about your emphasis on mechanics and their responsibility for your players and your own experience. I know bad and/or missing mechanics can dampen the fun, but I have also had fun despite that because of the group I'm playing with. It has never been the responsibility entirely of the mechanics to have a good time, in my experience. I wonder where you fit into all this? Maybe, this fixation on mechanics and system is misplaced for some other hurdle or obstacle for your fun? Im not saying you are doing anything wrong, just maybe a deeper dive into what's missing could help? Finally, I lost my father back in May, so I understand what that is like. My sincerest condolences to you for losing your Father. [/QUOTE]
