[QUOTE="RobertBrus, post: 7273322, member: 6916518"] I always own up to what I write, not only the content but the context. Tongue in cheek means exactly what I intended. If one can't laugh at the world, and themselves, what is the point of anything, since life is one giant ball of absurdity in which each of us is the butt of the joke. While it is sometimes true that placing a lump of coal up ones backside, and then squeezing tightly down upon it will, in time, produce a diamond, I still think it misses the point entirely about being alive. Besides, if a diamond were to appear, the person would have to contend with the DeBeers, and that would negate any of the benefits derived from the diamond. I suppose I should place one of those emojis, are whatever the hell they are called, to indicate lighthearted sarcasm. But I don't use emojis, so I won't. But on to the meat and potatoes of the thing. Paizo is a corporation. It mass markets many products. While they don't have the economic power that WOTC has, primarily because of Hasbro, Paizo is doing what you claim is only being done by WOTC. And right they should, as they have the right to promote their business. Nothing fundamentally different? Apparently you and I are reading different versions of the above said rules. I play Pathfinder. It is a well thought out set of rules. I respect Paizo and appreciate its commitment to the RPG gaming world. Often I quite enjoy playing Pathfinder. I don't see why any one set is mutually exclusive. I also play 5E. I prefer it, but that is a subjective opinion, not an objective statement. And for the record, for those who either can't or won't accept lighthearted sarcasm for what it is, I state for the record: Creative, free-thinking people can be found in Pathfinder games. Just as dullards can be found in C&C. However, I would still like to see my hypothesis properly tested. Perhaps there lurks a budding PHD looking for a thesis. If so, let me know your findings.
