[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 6206028, member: 17106"] Yes. Not infrequently a wise decision. I owe my livelihood in no small part to my unwillingness to partake in some of the unhealthy eating practices that were pushed on me (and on pretty much everyone in Western culture) in my youth. Children can be picky, but their natural instincts are to eat nutritional things and avoid toxic things, which is good. True, but so is trying the right things. It's not like it's a choice between running 5e and sitting on my hands waiting for life to happen! In context, it's a choice between trying 5e and trying some other things. Life is too short to waste it on mediocrity. I will, over the next two weeks, work on a manuscript, train in scientific reviewing techniques, tutor science students, attend professional meetings, supervise contractors working on my building, welcome in new tenants, escort out old tenants, listen to a half dozen or more new music albums,tour a new city, write a motherload of NPCs for my next game, attend at least two lectures in medicine and ethics, attend and volunteer at a major weeklong medical conference, hike along the river, work out, read a book, cook something original, buy as much ice cream as possible from my soon-to-be closed neighborhood spot, write some posts on ENWorld, gather professional recommendations for medical school, and, hopefully, run the most horrific game of CoC I have ever done. I can guarantee I won't be trying 5e. I don't have time for a half-baked rpg that doesn't really appeal to me. Somehow I think my time will be better spent elsewhere. I doubt the following two weeks will be all that much different. [/QUOTE]
