[QUOTE="GrumpyOldMan, post: 3504597, member: 16469"] Molonel I thought that I’d embolden part of the post you quoted. Because this even disguised with a ;) is crude and insulting. Fortunately for you, I’m not an elderly wheelchair-bound arthritic dyspeptic. I’ve seen game fashions, and gamers come and go over the years, however, I don’t insult other peoples campaign choices. Of course you’re kidding. But why? Is it some insecurity on your part, that you won’t allow someone to post about an alternative to your preferred style of play? I’m happy enough with my campaign. My players, don’t complain, at least no more often than players do. They tell tales of their (admittedly minor) victories. Personally, I don’t like the term Joe Average, and as the rules I use aren’t level based (I won’t bore you, suffice it to say that I haven’t played a level based game for over ten years) then the level comparison is invalid. I prefer to use the term ‘ordinary people in extraordinary situations.' Have you ever played Call of Cthulhu? In my opinion it’s a magnificent game. There’s a huge amount of fun to be had from a game which is not ‘balanced,’ where the characters could die, not from ‘bad dice rolls’ but from poor role playing, like simply forgetting how much danger they are in. Check out some of the free stuff (adventures and background) at [url]www.Lythia.com[/url] and if you don’t like it by all means say: 'it’s not for me,' and explain why. But don’t condemn my gaming style out of hand. [/QUOTE]
