[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5871794, member: 54877"] I disagree back. ;) I saw the same type of discussions here that I saw elsewhere. It got so bad on one board that I begin getting private mails along the lines of, "Glad you said that. I thought I was the only one that didn't think that quite fit." And then I'd get multiple such messages. I'm playing the same way that I played once I got over my Killer DM phase, circa 1983. Oh, I've gotten better at playing that way, but it is essentially the same way. And it ain't the stuff you guys say is so important--even when I got attaboys from people who thought they were doing the same thing. Not that I expect this to be bought. It is clear to me that there is a vast conceptual gap on some issues such that half of us often talk past the other half, and vice versa. I can see the gap, the mist, the treacherous rocks clearly enough, but not what is on the other side that causes the gap. Based on total failure to understand where I'm coming from, repeated way too many times to count over the last 12 years, I feel safe in saying that those on the other side see my side no more clearly--even those that are aware it is there. I think it would take extended and dedicated cross-pollination to bridge it, and most of us are too satisfied where we are to put forth the kind of effort needed to bridge it. If WotC can bridge that gap (instead of smudge it on the map), I'll be most impressed. :p [/QUOTE]
