[QUOTE="kaomera, post: 3661194, member: 38357"] It seems to me that sometimes, at least, someone will recount what I parse as how [I]they[/I] played the game, and several other posters will parse it as stating that this was the [I]only[/I] way the game was played. Part of the problem here may be that Quasqueton's original quote: does not seem to indicate "munchkin" behavior to me, and apparently to at least some others as well. And there's also the question of purpose: this thread doesn't seem to be replying to that quote, merely putting it up there as "evidence". Now the whole thread seems to have been a response to uncited gamers who apparently have a very adamant view that all the bad things about D&D are strictly the invention of 3e, and that some earlier edition(s) where a gaming paradise where all of the polyhedrals lay down together and there was no hunger or fear... That [I]almost[/I] seems like a rather suspicious thing to have to argue against... Unfortunately I've met enough gamers who have a vehement disdain for all things D&D (regardless of edition), and who feel the need to justify their dislike for the game by badmouthing it and anyone who could be so crass as to actually find any value whatsoever in it, that I actually understand (if not entirely agree with) Quasqueton's position.
