[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9448460, member: 7035894"] I'm not putting words in your mouth. I wrote that you are [U]in effect[/U] calling people stupid sheep. Do you not see that you are doing that? When you state, as you have reiterated here, that people are simply going with D&D because we don't know better than to just "go with the status quo for the sake of it", what exactly do you think you are implying, other than that we are stupid sheep? Do you not see that your framing is deeply insulting? Well, it is. Which is why many, many people have responded negatively. For your information, I am a professional with a masters degree. I have played many, many different TTRPGs in my forty+ years of serious gaming. I even have a publication credit for being the principal designer of an educational game ([I]Up the Creek: The Salmon Survival Game[/I]). So I'm not some rube who stumbled across D&D and has never looked elsewhere. I think similar goes for most folks on this forum. I am also familiar with the DC20 system. I very much enjoy the Dimension 20 crew, and appreciate their perspective on it, and I've kept track of it's development, as I do with many TTRPGs. So maybe, just maybe, people disagree with you for reasons other than being ignorant. Maybe we are just as smart, just as informed as you, and have still come to different conclusions.
