[QUOTE="wilrich, post: 1719978, member: 18624"] Hello all! Infrequent poster, but a vague memory came to me today that I'd like some help focusing. Some years ago (I think it was pre-3d edition) did Monte Cook and Tracy Hickman have a "feud" of sorts in Dragon magazine regarding different playing styles? IIRC, it took the form of "dueling letters" or "dueling columns" and it was somewhat heated. Does anyone remember this as well, and, if so, whatthe details were? If there are any links that anyone knows of that contain more information, posting them would be most appreciated! Finally, if people have any thoughts about their "discussion," I'd be interested in hearing those as well (as I recall the differences in game philosophy, etc. were interesting.) Anyway, I'm just curious, and thought it might provoke some discussion. If it turns out the "feud" occurred when EN World existed, and this has already been discussed to death on these boards, I apologize. In any case, thanks for any thoughts / info anyone can provide! P.S. I also know that Tracy had serious issues with the Book of Vile Darkness, but I am not referring to that disagreement. This was an earlier disagreement long before The Book of Vile Darkness.
