[QUOTE="Gorgoroth, post: 6080335, member: 6674889"] Does one who boldly proclaims "Pizza without cheese is NOT pizza!" need a preface of an "in my humble opinion?", how tedious if we all had to state what we write is merely our own opinion each and every time. What I wrote only entails my opinion...as to what the essential nature of my favorite hobby is. No, I don't think 4e captures the essence of D&D, and I'm not alone in that opinion (I dare say it's the majority), nor will I apologize for saying so. When people say bad things about AD&D (and a lot of it deservedly so), I don't take it personally. That's their opinion, they're entitled to it. In many cases I agree. But the game was still better. I played it for 20 years. I admit many AD&D rules suck - everyone knows they're quite bad in many ways - but on the whole, we ran up against bad rules with less headaches/frustration/vexation and annoying argumentation than the entirety of 2008-2011. Going back to pathfinder was a breath of fresh air, and that system is far from perfect as well. One of the goals of DDN should be to recapture fun at the table, rather than endless rules debates. Some are of the opinion that 4e sucks worse than others, and vice versa. Why the need to caveat every comment with "in my opinion". At a certain point, it becomes tedious semantics. I write my opinion here...why should I feel bad about it? I don't. And neither should you, Obryn [/QUOTE]
