[QUOTE="Acid_crash, post: 1926506, member: 16278"] I wish I could game with 80 people who felt the same way I do about gaming, but I am unfortunately not able to find many who feel this way. I have been gaming for only five years, the only game I have played is D&D. Not just D&D, but 'core D&D'. This means, "Wizards of the Coast D&D." I have been in five games, ran one myself. The one I ran was when D&D3e first came out, and it was 'core' because I was learning the system, and I think that when learning the system it should be core so as to not burden yourself too much. However, in the other four games, each DM, who has been playing for many years longer than me, was only for 'core' D&D. Why? Because he didn't want to look through any other books, because he didn't want to take the time to see what else was there. Okay, his decision, I accept it. What I do not accept about one of these DMs, though, was his constant side-bickering that the sorcerer wasn't as good as it could have been, and the paladin should be a PrC. Bringing to him a weblink and printout of two PrC variant Paladins and one alt.sorcerer from the web did nothing for him. He looked at them, then trashed them, and said that if it wasn't WotC doing it, he wouldn't bite. Half hour later he was still complaining. Earlier this year I tried, once again, to run a D&D game, but this time with the ruling that I will be using a variant class of each core class except the Fighter because all the variants I had found, and printed off, I felt were better done and had more options to them. At the table of six, one player stood up and flat out said that if it wasn't 'core' he wouldn't play, and walked off. His best friend followed because he was a follower. A third said that the variants looked too complicated and he wanted it 'an easy game' so left. After three of six leaving, I said to them to just forget it, grabbed my stuff, and walked out, and I told those three that walked away that if they can't think outside the 'WotC box' that WotC has firmly created, and they can't use their imagination for more than what they apparently want... well, what I said wasn't too pleasant and I can't say it on here... needless to say, I was pissed because I did spent a lot of time working on the game and stuff, and they crapped it aside without blinking because my classes [B]Weren't Official from WotC[/B]. That is my reason why I do not like D&D as a game that much because of this box so many people seem to have. I like the game, but I don't like it for the attitude some have. I don't know if that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
