[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 7683977, member: 15582"] It's not lazy, it's usually two types of people. 1) Those who found something that worked for them and it's now their comfort zone. Which can be frustrating for some if you live in a small community of limited gamers and want some variety, but it's not badwrongfun. 2) Stingy gamers who think WotC is a heartless corporation for "forcing" them to buy another book 10, 15, or 20 years later. Reminds me of DM who wanted to mix things up and was jonesing to try a few different systems. We had Savage Worlds on hand, but he wanted to put it up to a player vote. I told him, "You do that, and we will be playing D&D, more specifically Forgotten Realms." He laughed. One guy's literal email vote was "Forgotten Realms, or barring that, Dragon Lance, or Greyhawk." When I told him, "Dude, those aren't different games, those are different flavors of the same game." He insisted that I was wrong. The next session, the DM already looked bored and dejected. Mr. D&D-All The Games came in with crate that had every FR gaming book ever printed and a big smile on his face. [/QUOTE]
