[QUOTE="Xaelvaen, post: 7241273, member: 6681906"] Pretentious elitists who take on some salmon-like opinion that has become the new 'elite' thing to think. In example, thinking alignment is the devil and restricts character development. Nope, the only thing restricting character development is believing your character can never change alignment. Just bad DMing and Role Playing, not bad game design. Or people thinking that a Lawful Good character must be from a lazy player who is too shallow to think. The hell kind of Lawful Good has that DM been allowing? Or perhaps the DM just isn't intelligent enough to challenge that Lawful Good character to make decisions they may not be proud of. I'm sure there -are- some lazy LGs out there, but stereotyping never works. In truth, 28 years of DMing has pretty much let me see every type of awful DM and player behavior out there. If I truly had to pick the absolute worst thing out there, it wouldn't be exclusive to player - condescension. A player talking down to other players, or a DM talking down to a player - that gets my goat every - damn - time. As someone else said, it always just boils down to mutual respect, and that arrogant display of neanderthal-like tone just - Argh. A very simple Argh. [/QUOTE]
