[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7674370, member: 2525"] If you don't like the stuff they've put out so far that's expansion material but not adventure material, why are you assuming that MORE material would result in things you like? I mean...your track record says you're not going to like it regardless of quantity, because your tastes don't mesh well with theirs. Why? It's a logical reply to you saying you want more quantity of material, to name the quantity that does exist. They've offered a wide variety of things, from races, to classes, spells, etc.. So it's not all one type of food (to use your analogy) it's many types of food. That you happen to dislike all of them - that's your issue at that point. The host has no reason to think offering you more would get a better result from you - you have tastes which obviously don't mesh with the kinds of foods they provided at the party, so just suck it up because the party isn't about food anyway. Or leave, if you're at the party to eat food as opposed to enjoy the company. But yeah - never tell the host that despite giving you many choices of food to eat for free at their party, you don't like any of it and want more and different foods. Bring something to the party next time of your own so you have something to eat that you like, and make sure to offer it to others at the party as well. I suggest you sit there and eat, because you're an adult at a party. Or don't eat. But don't say anything about it - it's a party. But really, most of this response is because you chose a rotten analogy. Analogies are bad methods of discussing D&D to begin with (they're useful when someone might not know what you're talking about so you need to compare to something they do know about - they're not as useful when everyone knows the topic to begin with). This analogy in particular was really bad. [/QUOTE]
