Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest 7037866" data-source="post: 9473857">But MOAR POWER was NOT my interpretation for YOU... it is "bigger and awesome" to YOU. It is MOAR POWER to me. Read what I actually wrote, not what you are reading into it.Was I wrong? Was it not "bigger and awesome" to you? Those were your words, after all...Yep. Your words.Saying something is garbage to me is definining my preferences.Your choice of words (bolded) is inflamatory since it was nothing like what I said:To me. Get it? My preferences. Not yours.If someone loves mushrooms and serves me steak with sauteed mushrooms, I will gringe and push it away. I find it disgusting and revolting. Those people should (IMO) shrug their shoulders and say, "fine, more for me!".Since I haven't read everything here or know what posts you're referring to, all I can tell you it is people speculating from what they do know, snippets here and there, info in the PHB 2024, past performance of WotC, etc.Well, no, that is certainly not true. It is your choice to engage with the naysayers, complainers, or whoever. If they respond to you about something you like in a manner you don't appreciate or find constructive to any manner of discussion, just don't reply. You can engage with the people who are talking about the things you look forward to about it, etc.As far as previews, I assume you are viewing previews from influencers you know and like? If not, it is a gamble of course and if the preview is not to your liking, you can stop watching it, right?Again, those people have the right to complain, however. It is your right and choice to engage with people complaining or not.Yes, it does, but people will be doing it forever in all likelihood.In writing this I reviewed my posts in this thread. I don't really think I have said anything inflamatory or meant to offend. I'm sorry it bothers you so much, but I am not going to change my ways when I see no fault in them.Just so you know, I had you and a few others blocked. I unblocked all of you just the other day. I even gave your first response to my post a Like. I'd rather continue to keep things civil, but in less than 6 hours of my initial posts you say my response was "False and insulting" when it was neither false, nor meant to be insulting. You took it that way, and I even apologized if my remarks about my having different tastes bothered you. Yet you continued to misread what I wrote and so we are here again.I can understand your frustration, however, but personally I find it better to walk away than continue to engage with people who's views are so completely contradictory to my own if I find it frustrating. Life is too short IMO.As I've said before, while I am not excited about the new releases, I am hoping I can find something useful to my tastes and preferred style of game. MOAR POWER and "bigger things" and "awesomeness" in the direction WotC has taken D&D for the last 5+ years makes me doubtful, understandably I think. Will I review the DMG and MM when the come out to check? Sure. I've got a copy of the PHB for review. Like others I like the new layout (but not the art work!) and find the Rules Glossary a nice touch.Not everything is doom and gloom. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
