[QUOTE="Corlon, post: 1287522, member: 6905"] no no, I think older playing with younger is the best way to go. :D Anyways, this just reminds me of when I tell people about D&D for the first time and they ask things like "well why can't the DM just make millions of dragons kill the characters" which comes to my point. Things like monopoly and other board games are about strict rules and winning by those rules, but things like D&D are about having fun in a very custom fantasy world. You can stay as generic as killing goblins or go with futuristic vs. fantastic deities, anywhere beyond or in between, but the rules still keep a set of balance there. So if you think you can work things out and have fun (this is what I did with my group, which together kind of all add up into your brother sometimes), or realize that you can't have fun with him in a D&D game currently, and just play appart from each other. On a side note as a lover of halflings, I hate the size does matter rule, and the nat 1=-10 nat 20=30 has always been a cool way to do things for me. [/QUOTE]
