[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9310395, member: 18"] That's a crummy and pretty funny thing to say given the rest of the discussion from people who've played the game. I wasn't the DM, as noted, but the DM definitely did, and sought advice out online for clarification, so going above and beyond, thus you crapping on them from a height is ummm, deeply unhelpful? Not very nice? Pointless rudeness even by my standards? Quite representative of the unfortunate side of the FitD/PtbA community though - lot of people eager to crap on anyone who "got something wrong" rather than be to be helpful in any way. Kind of ironic/perverse given the nature of many of the games, but things are often that way - Steven Universe is a show basically about being kind and had one of the nastiest fanbases in fanbase history. Yeah, that's not the issue, as we can see from the rest of the discussion. People absolutely did. This is just funny, given the guys who created Dungeon World also said they'd stopped using Fronts, not even that long after it came out. EDIT - I guess my non-rhetorical question is, what do you think the point of saying stuff like this is? Like what do you think you're doing here? "Outing" me as a "fake fan" or "heretic" or something? If so this is something I've seen before in PtbA/FitD fanbases as I've said - instead of people explain or helping re: understanding rules, people rush to condemn people who either don't understand or don't follow the rules as basically heretic and unbelievers, enemies of the holy church, and it's so odd in the context of where those games are coming from.
