[QUOTE="Guest 6801718, post: 9389295"] I think D&D is actually bad for gaming. It's caused a lot of the toxic ideas that I've encountered at the table and in discussions. Ideas like the DM is the be all, end all and the players are just lucky to be there for the DM's glorious vision. That and it's actually a really boring game. Anytime you really get going with role playing, you get derailed with long, drawn out combat. Honestly, combat crashes everything in D&D. You stall out to set up a mat and then spend a few hours calling out numbers. Lame. I don't like stories about villains. Villains are only interesting to me for what they say about the hero that opposes them. So I have no interest in a movie, book, show or comic about a villain. I won't ever watch Joker, for example. Villains just don't appeal to me. I like indie comics a lot more than than Marvel or DC comics now, and I was always a big superhero guy. Now I have a pile of current issues of the superheroes I love from the big two, just sitting next to my chair. Though I got the omnibus for Sweet Tooth and the night I got it I devoured 200 pages of it. I'm almost finished it and I love it. I've enjoyed indie supers like Black Hammer or Local Man far more than the mainstream stuff. [/QUOTE]
