Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorbadwolf" data-source="post: 8267150" data-attributes="member: 6704184">I’ve never seen anyone get offended by someone saying, “hey these games do the thing you’re talking about, though not in a fantasy context, have you read or played them?” Or “You might be able to get ideas by reading XYZ game, since they’re designed to do heists/horror/space opera/whatever.”No, it isn’t. They aren’t asking for game recommendations. Letting them know that these games are out there, in a way that does’t assume they aren’t aware of the fact, is great! Derailing their thread to talk about how “D&D doesn't do anything but D&D” is rude. Telling them that D&D cant really do what they’re asking so they should play a completely different game instead is dismissive and condescending. Bull. If someone asks how to run Dragon Heist as an actual heist, they are asking about D&D. If they ask how to run a fairy tale arc in their current ongoing campaign in the D&D forums with the damn 5e tag, it’s about D&D. What’s more, I have seen the behavior you’re defending in threads where the OP is explicitly asking about D&DThis is a great example of dismissive condescension. It can’t possibly be that people are being disrespectful, it’s just that the asker is a crybaby that only plays D&D! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🙄" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" title="Face with rolling eyes    :rolling_eyes:" data-shortname=":rolling_eyes:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />No. Many of us, myself included, play many different games, as I’ve discussed in this thread. It’s absolutely not about attachment to D&D. That’s just a BS excuse you invented in order to dismiss a legitimate criticism. Not remotely an apt comparison. Way to completely fail to actually read anything I’ve posted in this thread. I didn’t complain about Monsterhearts doing something I wasn’t expecting. You have assumed ignorance and then looked for ways to confirm your assumption to yourself.I have explored the same themes in other games (monster of the week, D&D, Alternity, GURPS, my own TTRPG, etc) without the need for the dice to make my decisions for me about my character and what they feel. Monsterhearts is a cool game, and all I said about it was that I didn’t enjoy one of its key elements, and why, in the process of explaining why I would borrow elements of a game rather than play that game.You entire post is just a series of BS assumptions that directly ignore everything I’ve said in this thread.</blockquote>
