[QUOTE="The Crimster, post: 98929, member: 2511"] There are a lot of people that seem to enjoy hating something so they won't be a part of 'the institution'. They're cool/different/on-the-cutting-edge that way, daddy-o. This applies to a lot of things, of course. People hating movies before they see them is another example (see thread below about Star Wars 2). It's difficult to get past that. Preferring 3E over 2E or 1E is a no-brainer. It is obviously so much better that there is no comparison, and I needn't go into why this is so (especially on a Pro-D20 board). Therefore, his 2E fanaticism is irrational. =) Whatever the real reason, the only way to get him to change over to 3E is to PLAY with him. Ask him, as a favor to you, to try it out for a 3-session game. Ask him to not bring up negatives before, during, or after each session. He can comment/insult all he wants [i]after[/i] 3 sessions. Don't tell him to simply read the books - he'll do so, but with a jaundiced eye. Put him (and your old group!) through a good adventure, show him the strengths of 3E. You - and we - will gain another convert. =) The Crimster [/QUOTE]
