[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5563784, member: 92511"] Sorry to be late to the soiree...or to sound like a broken record... I can comPLETEly appreciate your not wanting to spend money on books you don't/won't use. Makes complete and perfect sense. I heartily agree. That said, it just doesn't sound like this is the group for you. If you have to go in, in opposition to the very basic premise they have set for their group...I really can't see this working out. Maybe they can make an allowance for you to use someone else's book(s)...and that would be very nice of them...but to go in thinking that they need to change their way of doing things simply is not....fair or justified. No matter how "brilliant" your way is...it is not theirs. If a cursory conversation about how you want to proceed is met with opposition...it sounds to me like you will not be joining this group. I am sorry about that, as I completely understand the desire to play without the folks to do it with...I think many of us have been there... But it sounds like it might be for the best. Find some other folks and start your own group (or offer to start a secondary group with these guys under your rules, maybe?). Good luck and, I hope, happy gaming for all. --Steel Dragons [/QUOTE]
