[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6363833, member: 6689464"] More like nobody is using standard as a term and everybody completley shut off the moment they heard "advanced" next to "basic" and stopped caring about it all, in a way defaulting into a fake dichotomy where basic= core, lowest common denominator and advanced = everything else under the sun, crazy, wild mutable and strictly optional. I mean nobody is using "advanced" but very evidently they are thinking of it whenever they refer to the phb and have the expectations of both the old advanced D&D of the first two editions and the hyped and highly expected tinkerer paradise full of modules anything-goes-so-nothing-goes that was promised in the lead in into the edition. I know thwy are just words, but right now the misuse of the terminology and the increased expectations are causing some players to feel disappointment and others to feel commitment anxiety. [/QUOTE]
