[QUOTE="Odhanan, post: 5279617, member: 12324"] First, maybe you took my comment as snarky, in which case I have to apologize, because that's not the feeling I wanted to convey. Second, this is a message board, and just as you may not want to answer my responses, you could just as well have sent a private message if you didn't want me to be given the occasion to comment on it? Just joking mate. No big deal. ;) In any case, just like them creating the game gave me the opportunity to play it in my home, me buying their game also provided me with this opportunity, and also gave me the right to do whatever I want with said game, even throw it in a fire if I want to, or use as a cup holder, or whatever else would come to my mind. I paid for this game, I do with it as I want. It isn't "fair" or "unfair" to the writers of said game. They don't even own the content they write in most cases. The publisher does. Really, no matter how I turn the question in my head, I just can't understand it, especially when talking about role playing games, which basically form a hobby of proactive imagination and creativity on the part of their users. It'd be completely out of place for me to not even consider any rules change during actual play because it might not be "fair" to someone I don't even know in real life. This is really interesting that some RPer might actually think that way, to tell you the truth. It's really puzzling to me. [/QUOTE]
