[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9600418, member: 4348"] The following does not describe all players of D&D during a time period, or even a majority of them. Most like a small minority of them...but.. Anti-Authority was one of the leading edges of some of the groups of people that chose to listen to Heavy Metal and play D&D in the 80s. I can see the request going over well with them (sarcasm). People who didn't fit in and purposefully avoided the norms were popular in the early aughts with D&D. I can see this thread's request going over well with them (sarcasm). Today, there are many who are wending their own way, trying to be an individual and be unique in playing D&D with unique characters and unique mannerisms. I can see the idea of the first post of this thread being something that they will want to conform to (sarcasm). The anti-authority, avoiding the norms, and wanting to be unique individual within me wanted to go and write a post marking all the things I was not supposed to do in one singular post, but for the sake of conformity, I think the above will do. (That post was written tongue in cheek and with a humorous kick, try not to be too offended by it lest you go raving into the night like a mad person). [/QUOTE]
