[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 5148938, member: 2732"] Nice cross-section of responses. I guess I'm a lot like Festivus, because that's a lot of what I do with adventures and source books and the like. For me it's not a temporary thing but rather the whole tabletop experience I think "interferes" with my imagination. It's probably the same reason I don't like Live Theater and (both live and TV) sports events. I consider it a personal quirk. I have found I like Computer RPGs, though I more enjoy ones with plots akin to Bioware than rogue/nethack clones. Steel Wind's readability statement is important as well for me. I loved articles that are a good read. One major reason I find 4e alienating to me is that while it may be a good game, it's a bore to read, and I found some of the newer adventures (where they were setting up the battle maps on dedicated pages for each encounter) kind of boring. I guess what I am curious to find out is if game companies ever took this into account. I remember somebody from TSR or WoTC say that they did and/or realized that this market existed. [/QUOTE]
