However, I do not believe this makes me different from someone who exclusively uses a pre-packaged setting who happens to like a lot of combat.   I think we need to realize that just because someone has different tastes does not make them an inferior person.  (Some of the posts in this thread would appear to imply otherwise.)If we were all identical, I think the world would be a very dull place.   Perhaps we need to celebrate our differences rather than condemn them.I thought the whole point of gaming was to have fun.  Somehow, that seems to have become a point that has vanished at times in this thread.</blockquote>
