[QUOTE="Monayuris, post: 7632236, member: 6859536"] So I think this conversation may have got off to the wrong foot a little. If you thought that my post was an insult to you, I apologize I didn't intend that. My point was more addressing the assertion that running a game based on rulings somehow means you can't have an objective game. My assertion was that with practice and learning, it is indeed possible to run a game based on rulings that is 100% objective. It is something that requires work and study and skill. This is a statement of fact and not a supposition of your own capabilities as a DM. In fact, it is something that I work on all the time and try to improve at. Personally, I feel the work I put in helps make me a better DM, so I find the endeavor worth it and satisfying. I love D&D and anything that helps me be better at it is something worth doing. I also run and play 5E... the same work helps me be better at that game as well. To the actual post: I'm really not sure of what I need to convince you. You said this, [URL="https://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?660554-OSR-Gripes/page2&p=7632099&viewfull=1#post7632099"]here[/URL]: [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]You are projecting your own experiences on me. You are making the assertion that older versions of D&D are broken and old and busted and are to be abandoned for newer versions. I simply don't share the same viewpoint or experiences with the game. You go on to assert that if I don't have a similar outlook as you towards the game, then I'm lying and I have not actually played these games. This is a ridiculous assertion. I don't need to convince you or anyone. If you don't believe me, I don't care. I don't need to tackle any of the issues you bring up. You already have a multitude of versions of D&D that serve you better. Enjoy playing those games. [/QUOTE]
