[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3912781, member: 10177"] Thanks to you and Dragonhelm. Over on RPGnet people have actually posted that they stayed away from C&C because of me and my posts. Among the dumbest things I have ever heard, but there is a lot of that on that board. If I stayed away from games because of how fans talked it up I would never have played 3E, let alone run it for almost 5 years. Same for RIFTS and Paladium in general. Same for GURPS. So, when I think how glad I am I didn't ignore games based on its fans, it baffles me how others do. In fact, I have actually looked at more systems because of how badly people complained about it. Thankfully I discovered Shadowrun and Legend of the 5 Rings because of them. Plus C&C. Crothian knocked it pretty bad in his review, but it prompted me to look anyways. Simply because a couple of things he complained about appealed to me. Then I found out he misunderstood a couple oof things, which he graciously corrected in his review. Plus won my admiration for doing so, for whatever that is worth. Plus there are a lot of 3E WOTC books I would not have bought if I listened to the negative reviews/opinions posted on these boards and others. Fortunately I bought Libris Mortis and other books anyways, and liked them, a lot. So letting "fans", or "haters", completely determine your choices baffles me. I realized a long time ago everyone has different opinions, diffferent preferences, different many things, and find it very amazing when groups of such people can get together to play any one RPG. Fortunately it does happen. A lot. Or none of us would be here. ITs all D&D to me, so even though I don't expect to be a fan of 4E, and don't use 3E as my rules base, I have found plenty of "gaming" to still be in common with everyone to still hang out on these boards. Which is why I don't get why people feel only one edition is appropriate for any RPG board. I hope that ENWorld becomes like DF, even more so, in that ENWorld will support D&D in general, let alone only one or two editions. WE are all gamers with one thing in common. Dungeons and Dragons. The edition only matters because people make it a point of contention. We all share the commonality of the experience. The creativity. The fun. How we go about having that experience shouldn't be a point of division. [/QUOTE]
