[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 3913306, member: 3867"] I agree. Many C&C fans are not helping their cause as much as they could. They're putting off a sizable portion of the potential audience with the d20-bashing. In my mind, C&C can both serve as a new way to do old school gaming, and as a way of doing "d20 lite." I have stopped participating over at Troll Lord Games' boards because of the negativity I was encountering at one point. When 4e was announced, the reaction was...distasteful. One person even posted a graphic of a guy crying gallons of blood. :eek: It was just awful. I reported all of this to the mods, but it took quite a bit to rope it all in. By this point, I was so put off that I left. You know, I can understand preferring C&C to d20. That's fine. Some of us, though, actually like [I]both[/I] d20 and C&C, as well as AD&D and other systems. It's okay to like your system, but it's not cool bashing someone else's system. This has turned me off to some C&C vocalists, as well as some d20 die-hards, d20 psionics fans, and so on and so forth. Like Treebore says, though, you shouldn't judge a game by its fans (or at least the vocal ones). It's hard to at times, especially if a group of fans is being obnoxious. However, you might miss something really good. [/QUOTE]
