Attempting to explain the differences between Harn and D&D result in the following non-Harniac comments:a) The pro-Harn poster is an elitist pig.b) Harn is a place where everything is boring and people play farmers.c) The anti-Harniacs are allowed to make jokes and ridicule the pro-Harn posters, but the pro-Harn posters are not allowed to make jokes, even when they use a smiley-face.d) The anti-Harniacs are free to conveniently ignore facts as they see fit, if they bother to respond to them at all.e) When the anti-Harniacs call for clarification and get it, they then call the Harniac an "elitist pig." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />When I said earlier that the average person in the game store was a smelly fat guy with a beard, I mean that is the average person in my game store. Your game store may vary, but they anti-social weirdos are the most frequently encountered type of gamer (regardless of system or setting) and thus serve as the public's perception of ALL gamers. I never said that all non-Harn gamers are fat smelly weirdos, LOL, and that all D&Ders are, nor would I ever dare to do so, for such is patently not true. There are a lot of fat smelly weirdos out there playing all kinds of RPGs, however.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />When I said that most people prefer high fantasy hack-n-slash, and that such settings are not as realistic or detailed as Harn, that is true, and backed up by the sales figures. That does not mean to imply that D&D is played by idiots, only those who prefer a simpler, less complicated (and therefore less realistic) game. I said either was a valid choice, didn't I? I like high fantasy fine, but am tired of it. I may come back to it someday, but right now I want gritty low fantasy, and am appreciating the level of detail involved in HarnWorld. There is no comparison between it and D&D's settings.</blockquote>
