[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 6127198, member: 48965"] Funny I'm not Mearls or the OP so what does it matter what they said if you are commenting on my post? Here's your/another mistake... go back and read my post again, these aren't "my preferences". They are examples I was giving S'mon about complaints I have seen towards DM dis-empowering features in 4e... Again my post wasn't about like/dislike, a particular play style or even my own preferences (though you seem intent on trying to force the discussion in that direction) it was about discussing features of 4e that are or could be dis-empowering to a 4e DM... and as seen in S'mon's reply he too has at least seen some of these things as well. This list is silly because it's based on extremes as opposed to the excluded middle... well that and I never said this list was representative of a particular play style or my preferences... Well the discussion isn't about what is or isn't the "D&D tradition". With the number of people who feel 4e is the furthest thing from the D&D tradition to be published so far... not sure what your purpose is in even trying to open the "It's not real D&D" can of worms... but I'm not interested in a round of that pointless discussion. The misinterpretation is in assuming that your parameters describe all or event he majority of ways in which a DM empowered game is played or run... especially when using a list of extremes that you "infered" from a post that wasn't talking about any particular play style. But hey, don't let that stop you, keep posting about this imaginary umbrella you've created in defining how Iand/or empowered DM's run games. [/QUOTE]
