[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 7633809, member: 57914"] Every rpg has crap rules. OSR-New Modern...it's all crap. You have to overlook that crap to get at the fun. Rules do not bring fun to the table. I love OSR games just as much as I love 5E. More some days,less others. Mostly I run a crapload of 5E but my B/X D&D game is awesome as well. So if you have issues with B/X rules ....so what? I'm sure your right...they suck. So does 5E. I have two pages of house rules designed to make my 5E game sing just the way I like it and to fix the hot mess that is it's many many issues. My B/X D&D House rules are only a single small page...does that mean its less broken? Heck no, just there were less rules to fix! Reading all these posts Celebrim, mostly you come off as a Troll. You bash other people's ideas and game in a almost mocking manner and are very dismissive of others opinions. I'm not sure why you are here after so many pages of aggressive pounding on the OSR. Do you think your opinions or posts are going to change anyone's mind? People play what they want to play. Frankly I have no idea why anyone would EVER want to play 3.5 D&D. I find it baffling and illogical myself. That doesn't mean I would go into a thread about 3.5 and aggressively demand justifications for the fans of it. I'm sure they love it and would have answers that make sense to them on why it's the best game ever. That's cool! More power to em! [/QUOTE]
