Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ranes" data-source="post: 2309179" data-attributes="member: 4826">Really? Perhaps if I qualified what I said accordingly: hadn't been printed elsewhere for 3e. But I don't have the book and it's a couple of years since I read my friend's copy. I'm not talking about the FF. And I am always prepared to read DMing advice. And the DMG2 is not just advice (which, if nothing else, may be of assistance to less experienced DMs). It's supposed to have a lot of time-saving stuff in it. Your assertion that it's nothing more than a money-grabber is as pejorative as it is disingenuous. I don't know the D&D wargame but I am familiar with Morrowind, a typical - if untypically well-crafted - instantial CRPG that has nothing to do with this discussion. Without wanting to get into the semantics of what is or isn't a story, what I'm saying is that the DM is not required to be a story teller. I know this to be a fact, because it's the way I DM. My players have been coming back to play for years and we have about one hundred years of RPG experience between us. Thanks but I don't need to. I got a free copy, because I was one of the developers. But, with the exception of the boardgame version of HQ, all the games you mention are instantial. That is to say that all the things that can happen in them have been pre-determined. This is not the case with a game of Dungeons & Dragons comprised of human players who are free to decide what they want to do next.Hey, I worked on Warhammer, too!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> I do like those sorts of games. I just prefer RPGs. And relax. I'm not going to force anything on your D&D.</blockquote>
