[QUOTE="Bastoche, post: 2626614, member: 306"] First, because anyone who post a "problem" post a one-sided story with way too much lack of details to come up with anything usefull to anyone. Second, because any gaming group that listens to the offered "solutions" do not play [i]their[/i] game but the [i]standardized ENworld type of game[/i] TM. I greatly dislike the general attutide I feel here that define the DM as the omnipotent master of "his" game. The solutions to "so-called" problems are very streamlined by peer pressure. Are we playing the game right? Etc. Each and everyone of these dicussion fails to address the real question: Do all the players around the table want to play the same game? 3E assumes all players "powergame". Each character has to fill a role in the party else all that CR buisness fails. However, it is possible to use these rules for a different approach. Yet in all this "solution search to gaming problems" threads, that issue is NEVER pointed out. Everyone suggest what HE would do presuming everyone play with the same style as HE. Therefore, no solution can ever come out of these discussions. ENworld never "evolved" into a community. It always has been, like every/most forum. The *more* that is going on is IMO overshadowing the good stuff. YMMV. I know my gaming needs have changed a lot during my current campaign and it may be influencing my opinion of ENworld negatively... That being said, I still participate a bit... [/QUOTE]
