I can't tell you how many times Gary wrote about "Thespianism is bad and doesn't belong in D&D." But many people I know disagreed with it at ever turn and enjoyed the hell out of a little bit of play acting for NPCs and other things that brought the game, and the world to life. I get the same feel from this article in a sense about the worlds building comments, and be it Stephen of Gary I don't like it.You can say these are ideas you use in your games, or this is how you play your games, but not try to make some blanket statement that tells someone what they can or cannot, should or should not do while playing.How many people would laugh in the face of Sony telling then they shouldn't play Warner Borthers DVDs in the PS3?Or, any other silly you can or cannot. When you are talking to adults, you don't tell someone what they can or cannot do or should or should not do. Leave that for when you are teaching your own children, as you shouldn't tell others people's chidlren what they can or cannot do either.So it spans the ages in terms of these articles, and makes people upset always. It is just now The Forum is not a column in Dragon that only certain letters get printed in a later issue, but the internet where people can say what they want without worry of their comments being discarded by a company, because the company has no control over the outlets for comments on Dragon or any other publications articles this day and age.</blockquote>
