[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 3609024, member: 3649"] I think that in general people self-select the D&D groups they play with. If there was only one D&D group in town and their style of play was too far outside my comfort zone, I'd rather not game. People with radically different play styles more often than not might meet once or twice, but that's about it; in my experiece you'd be lucky if they talked to each other. A person will generally gravitate to a style of play they know or are comfortable with. If I was, say, a 1E gamer and went to a new game only to find out they gave XP for GP, I'd probably not go back again: obviously they're idiots. If I went to a group who played maybe a couple hours and spent the rest of the time watching videos on the 'net or reading or passing around comics or whatever, I'd probably not game with them, either. Thus, when it came time to tell about groups I'd played with, I'd probably not ever even remember those other groups I tried or heard about that did not match my preferred style of play. [/QUOTE]
