[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9389623, member: 4534"] The biggest problem I've found with D&D players is that they often bring D&D sensibilities to the table no matter the game. When I first ran a Legend of the Five Rings game back in 1997, they had a dickens of a time adapting to a setting where their characters had to answer to a higher authority and they shouldn't expect to be rewarded with gold or other treasures for completing a scenario. And heaven help you if you're in a non-D&D fantasy game because they will often make assumptions based on how things work in D&D. Bingo. When explaining an RPG to a new player I will often compare it to D&D. But I make it a point to tell them I'm not bashing D&D, I play D&D too, but it's a useful comparison to note the difference in how this game works. This doesn't work for people who have never played D&D of course. [/QUOTE]
