[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2764727, member: 26473"] Really? That's...sad, that you are driven to a state of violent mental agitation when a few people disagree with you, particularly when more people share your taste in game systems than don't. It seems profoundly intolerant.The operators of ENWorld don't share your point of view on this, running a message board and game store that cater to a variety of different gaming interests. If I may paraphrase you, get it over with and get over it, ENWorld has moved on...D&D moved on, and so have I - from 1e to 3e and on to [i]Castles and Crusades[/i] and [i]Conan RPG[/i], should the jones to play a fantasy RPG overtake me at some point in the future. The topic of the thread is, "Games you were turned off of and why": I was turned off by 3e [i]Dungeons and Dragons[/i] for the reasons I outlined - a few other posters also listed 3e [i]D&D[/i] as well. My reply, which mentioned games other than 3e [i]D&D[/i] you may recall, is entirely on-topic (unlike your reply, or this one for that matter :\ ).I think I answered that already, but I can go into a bit more depth if you like. The [u]general[/u] RPG board appeals to me because it covers a cross-section of games and gamers. From here I can pull ideas from across systems and genres to work into the games or the characters I run. That's one of the great things about a [u]general[/u] RPG forum where gamers familiar with different systems can interact. Because of similarities with the games I do play, such as d20 [i]Modern[/i] (a Wizards of the Coast d20 product), I can often ask general d20 questions on this board and get a response from other d20 gamers, including those playing 3.0 or 3.5 [i]Dungeons and Dragons[/i], that are applicable to the games I play From your post someone not familiar with ENWorld might expect to see posters spamming up threads with off-topic posts along the lines of "d4d teh suxxors!!11!!!11!" I haven't noted that to be the case. I also know that the moderators usually step in if a problem arises - again, I haven't seen it.No, you evidently prefer to camp out on this board, hijack other posters' threads, and harangue those who disagree with your personal taste in games.
