[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 2052308, member: 225"] Well, a) I'm a very even-tempered guy, so I don't really hate D&D (much as I don't hate most things). I'd do a whole slew of things differently, yes. Hate? No. b) It's a point of convenience: I know the game, I don't have to invest money and time in learning a new one just to find out I don't like it, my group wants to play D&D - and I want to play in my group (cause it's fantastic), ... c) Even if D&D is not my favorite system, there are *far* worse systems out there d) most of the time, I don't care. It's about the story. Only when I consciously ponder the system (like when I read a thread like this) do my dislikes show up again. e) D&D is the first rpg I ever played. It's like a first love - even when she steals your wallet and sleeps with your older brother, part of you will love her. f) One reason that I don't particulalrly like D&D is that the stories I'd rather tell don't come easily to it. But the stories that lend itself to D&D, it does very well. So I adapt and tell different stories, and most of my problems go away. Only secretly will I always pine for something else, but alas, I am content the way it is.
