[QUOTE="billd91, post: 2224255, member: 3400"] On this, I think you're wrong. You do need to try something or something suitably similar to it to make an informed opinion when talking about certain things. And yes, the poop analogy is quite unfair since poop has a lot more baggage when you compare it with decent food than one RPG over another RPG. But notice I say you need to try someting or something suitably similar to make an informed opinion. Close is close enough in many cases. I didn't need to spend a lot of time with Planescape to decide whether I was interested or not since I have many years of D&D playing under my belt and had reviewed materials in a passive way (in other words, read them rather than played them). And that's also an [i]informed[/i] opinion. It's quite easy for anyone to come up with an uninformed opinion, and hold to it, as long as they accept that there are people out here like me who will discount those opinions as essentially irrelevant.
