[QUOTE="LowSpine, post: 4156574, member: 60239"] I had a 2E DM who said he would never try 3E because he liked the 2E system - he even said he liked THAC0. That really annoys me because the 3.5 way is mechanically exactly the same but without the stupidity. He says all this without even knowing a single 3.5 element or rule except that they have got rid of THAC0. It is a product of age and some people age in that way before they are even old. He would never move on without the kind of grumpiness you have experienced - and 3.5 has been taken up as the best rules yet by almost everyone. People like your players are the kind of people who have still never tried a curry. They are still using hissing videos that the auto tracking keeps going around and around and around before chewing the tape up. They have to spend half an hour going backwards and forwards trying to find their place. They complain that a scratch on a DVD makes it unusable (stop throwing it around like a frisby then.) They are the people that say CDs don't sound as real life as vynl. I have seen bands in real life and I don't remember an invasive constant hiss and lots of pops and crackles loud enough to make jump out of my own arse. These people are pegged for the death list. They have to die so the rest of the world can move on and progress. They say things like new fangled. I am getting old but I am keeping well and truely off that list. [/QUOTE]
