No two people ever seem to play D&D the same way, but we can usually find people to play with anyway.

[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8283423, member: 177"] This is a place where it is helpful to remember language. "Feeling" can speak of the character's emotional state, or it can indicate a sensation or impression - as in, "You get a feeling you are being watched." "You get a bad feeling," can be the shiver up the spine, or the momentary dropping in the pit of the stomach that is commonly used to indicate [I]wrongness[/I], but not the character's actual emotional state. It would be better if the GM used more descriptive language for the sensation, but them not doing so doesn't mean they are intending to dictate the character's emotional state. Do you have a quote of "Hey, we were surprised to find out..." from someone at WotC? Because otherwise... I doubt they were actually surprised. I mean, we have been noting since back in the 3e era, when occasionally WotC folks where known to read the place, that the boards do not constitute a representative sample of players overall. Anyone who has even a basic understanding of statistics could tell you that. [/QUOTE]
