[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 5760529, member: 336"] In general I find a lot of the complaints against Lair Assault to be rather "unusual". My group playtested some of the Lair Assaults, and we provided input on what worked, and didn't work for us in the scenarios. Many other groups were doing the same thing. From playtesting these, I found that I don't enjoy playing within the premise of Lair Assault. They are designed to be brutal to the characters, and they say it right on the advertisement. They are designed so that you can try them until you beat them. It's no mystery, it's the advertisement. There is no bait and switch here. I can understand the purpose of Lair Assault, challenging the characters to the point of breaking, but it's not my preferred way of playing. I don't like it. I don't participate in Lair Assault because I know its premise is not my preference so I'm not going to enjoy it. I don't like dance movies. They don't cater to my preferences. If I see that a movie is a dance movie, I'm going to skip it. If I purposely go to a dance movie, how is it a surprise that I'm not going to like it? It would be rather silly for me to go to a dance movie, and then complain that it was a dance movie. That seems to be a lot of what I see in these threads. Complaints about Lair Assault because they are unfair. No, duh. It says it right on the box, it's a dance movie. A good way to deal with things that you don't enjoy being a part of is to avoid being a part of them. Lair Assault is not for me and, from what I see, it seems that it's also not for some others. How about we just don't play in Lair Assault if we already know that it's not to our liking. I think it would be more productive than continuing to participate in Lair Assault and complaining about it. I don't enjoy it, but it doesn't mean that I should be a constant nag about it. Why don't we let those that enjoy that type of play simply enjoy it? [/QUOTE]
