[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 4117369, member: 3867"] First and foremost, I am a gamer. Game systems are just one thing - a tool to be used in order to game. They help you to determine if actions are successful. They should enhance play, not prohibit it. Above all, they shouldn't be treated as some sort of second coming. I don't base what game I play based on systems. I base what I play on what sounds fun. I would gladly play AD&D again. I would play 3.5 or Pathfinder. If a certain friend of mine is running a game, I'll be playing True20. I had a blast playing Savage Worlds at Fear the Con. I'm certain I'm going to enjoy 4e. I've also had fun playing C&C, several versions of Star Wars (d6, d20, revised d20, and a Storyteller homebrew), the d10 and d20 versions of L5R, Shadowrun 1e, and so on and so forth. Why is it that we, as gamers, have such a "versus" mentality? I know, it's human nature. We see it everywhere. Yet in this community, you would think we would support each other just for being a gamer. We've had enough flack from others; we don't need to destroy ourselves from within. It's okay if we don't like a system. Let's just remember to be respectful of others' opinions, likes, and dislikes. [/QUOTE]
