[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 1797850, member: 6182"] What's the second F for? "What the Funny Farm?" ;) 1) Blaming a rule set for flavor text makes no sense. That's blaming Bob in payroll because Rob in mail spilled coffee on your paycheck. 2) You got it wrong. That's blaming Lucas for your not figuring out to just watch the older edition that, if you're a fan, you should own already. Lucas can't be blamed for your not making purchases or copying your own tapes if you watch them enough to ruin them.* *I think Lucas made some bad decisions, but if I -really- want to see Star Wars original crispy style, I can, gasp, watch the version that was made before he got goofy! Edit: Just for reference's sake, I -do- know how you feel. As a Planescape fan, I've watched the flavor designers at WotC write their name in the snow that is my favorite setting. But it's not the fault of the rules, or the edition, and it's no reason to -hate- anyone. I just don't have the urge to spend money for wastes of paper like the PLHB, when I can go and read my 2e PS materials and be happy as a dire clam who just ate everyone at a clam bake. [/QUOTE]
