[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1113176, member: 2205"] DNP, you have to have noted BelenUmeria's posting habits to see how the two are entwined. BU has made it clear in other posts in the past that he thinks d20 is too rules heavy, and that many of his problems with either the system or his games have been attributed to that percieved flaw. :) In a way, I can see where he's coming from, as there are rules for too many things that should be GM judgement calls in D&D, I believe. There's the danger, for those unusual beings who are anal about every single rule and interpretation thereof every printed, for what he's worrying about to come to pass. For me, a "mature" gamer is one who can look past the rules for the sake of the game. By playing with mature gamers, I find that rules are often handwaved to a greater or lesser extent and nobody questions or even necessarily notices. Arguing, or being pedantic and nit-picky about rules hardly strikes me as mature behavior, so the problem described seems like it -- by default -- shouldn't interfere with mature gaming. [/QUOTE]
