[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3973433, member: 5100"] Pretty much. I'm sure you can see where it would be easy to get frustrated with the same-old conversation at an increasing pace. I had a long day, yesterday, and was already more than a little bitchy, which didn't help. I'm not going to go back and reread what I posted, but I will apologize for anything to far out that I said. Summary of my position: There are elements that get tossed around for inclusion in D&D from time to time that I don't like. Many of these elements seem to be common tropes (or reminiscent of common tropes) in what I've experienced in anime and wuxia. Based on that experience, it is easier to say that I don't like anime and wuxia elements added to my D&D game. It is imprecise and over generalized, but it is significantly less work for a casual conversation than attempting to maintain a list of specific elements. In general, when [b]I[/b] post something like "That's too anime," it should be read as "That's too... what's the right word... 'anime'... maybe." I also have no problem with D&D being able to support anime-like play. I just don't want to feel like it's inescapable. [/QUOTE]
