[QUOTE="Malmuria, post: 8935025, member: 7030755"] With respect, this will not be the basis of a healthy conversation, at least on a message board like this with largely anonymous participants. It basically deauthorizes the plurality of participants in the conversations. Meaning, if someone plays 8 sessions of BitD, their experiences can be overwritten by someone who has played 80 sessions, deciding from the outside what experience the former did or did not have with a game. This is problematic enough, but then we also have different rules of conversation for 5e, where someone who has played no sessions of 5e can purport to speak authoritatively about it to those who have played 100+ sessions. Granted, I think both situations (speaking about a game one has not played a lot or speaking to someone who has not played a lot of a game) can be mitigated with a certain amount of conversational grace and open curiosity.
