I saw it as standing up for the truth really, rather than letting someone talk out of the side of their...well you know. I think the "job of us C&C types" is to answer questions about the game, dispel spurious comments, and spread interest through word of mouth, nothing more really. I can't imagine that C&C could possibly benefit by a bunch of us hanging out over here on EnWorld of all places, and just blathering on about how "suckified" 3.X is. One system is better for some folks while the other is the superior choice for those other groups.I think part of what's being misconstrued here is that the C&C crowd, at least those of us who are active in the society, are for the most part, an older group of grognards. For the record, Scadgrad states that rules-heavy games are for, well, people who like a lot of rules. I really do think that Der_Kluge hit upon this in a recent thread where he speculated that certain personality types might be drawn to one game system over another.I would hope so. But at the same time, it's in my nature to suggest C&C to folks who might be looking for a change, just like I honestly tell folks that, you know, maybe C&C isn't for you. Different strokes, but none the less Dancey's "equal time" comments still seems like hogwash to me.Not sure what problem you have with the SIEGE engine since I think it works surprisingly well, but since you've asked:The ability to use ANY D&D product from ANY edition easily, and on the flyA far simpler rules setA bridge between D&D 3.X and the incredible amount of material produced for all other editionsA very simple way to teach kids and non-gamers how to play D&DCombats that don't bog down into Battletech-like drudgeryA game experience that feels more like the D&D that I DMd for 22 years prior to the release of 3.X rather than say, Diablo.Prep time that is far easier on pressed-for-time DMsA game that is far easier for the DM to adjudicate when the PCs "go off the map"A very simple way for D20 players to enjoy the modules of the past without requiring their DM to spend days doing the conversion to 3.XI could go on and on, but those are just a few off the top of my head.</blockquote>
