[QUOTE="Golden age Superhero, post: 9559862, member: 6775902"] So, I just got a text from a group of players that were coming to my house every other Saturday. We played a couple of session of 3.5 D&D and then everything kind of stopped for the holidays. We were supposed to get back last Saturday but other real life stuff, sickness, relatives,work and so forth but I was looking forward to getting back with them next Saturday. I then get a text saying that they are parting ways with us because they want to keep playing 3.5 and were leaving because I had stated that nowadays I prefer lighter systems. I never once said that I wouldn't play in their game, I play in a Pathfinder game as well and even though I don't love it I will still play it regardless. They some how got the idea that I wouldn't play in their game or try and change systems. So I do know that they have very busy lives so I would completely willing to keep playing 3.5 if that is what everybody wants. My only real problem is that this mentality goes against most of my gaming experience. So, I am 61 years old, I started playing way back in 1977. My first RPG was Red Box D&D. I played that game, then White Box, then 1st edition AD&D. I also played Boot Hill, Top Secret, Traveller and lots of other RPGs. Now of course I was 14 so as a teenager I had a lot of time. Now that I am a retired/self employed gig worker I have time. However, even though I use to have a full time job and I gaming group that switched games. I was the Champions GM for a long time, my wife primarily ran D&D as well Legends of the Five Rings. We played different stuff and we had a busy lives too. In fact before we left Florida for Wisconsin I ran Amazing Adventures, my wife ran BASH and Adam ran 5th edition D&D. I was retired part of that time but the other players had full time jobs as well. Now I am in Two Rivers, Wisconsin and the gaming groups I have found here only want to play one RPG exclusively, usually 5e and when I suggest anything else they respond with but we play X, why should we play anything else? So now I am really bummed because it seems that I am always getting into trouble for having a contrary opinion. Is there something wrong with me? Do I just have to keep my mouth shut once the majority has made their ruling? I have been having such a difficult time getting a group to play at my house I was so hopeful and optimistic this time and feels like such a gut punch. [/QUOTE]
