[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4771264, member: 23977"] It's all good, I misread internet intent as much as the next I guess. :) I understand what you're saying. I think there are two types of players personally. The type that needs/wants the rules to indicate how or why an effect happens, and the type that needs/wants the rules to only indicate what happens when the effect takes place. I'm of the second camp (mostly) and pretty much always have been. I can play either style, but I notice I have a lot more fun when I play games more in the second style- They get my imagination going more. I look at a rule/effect/option and start to envision all the scenes that might play out when it's used. The first style makes me feel like I have to scan/memorize too many rules elements to achieve an effect I want. Like you said: It's just how my brain is wired I guess. I personaly feel D&D through the ages has been more in my camp then the first camp, but 3e pushed it more towards the second camp. I liked a lot of the things 3e added to the game, but that part ended up always bugging me. 4e to me, feels like the updates I liked in 3e but with more of a gameplay style from the older editions. To each his own though. [/QUOTE]
