[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 8684561, member: 4937"] Eh. I agree with you. Whatever game you run as a GM, make it your own. If I'm sitting at your table as a player, I'm not interested in playing the exact same game in the exact same setting I'd run as a DM. I want to experience your originality, your lore, your distinctive take on the game. I'm just not sure that means much to say "To each their own." We'll all agree with that, and yet still want to explain why we didn't like 4e and that will still offend at some level the people that liked 4e, even if they agree I have a right to dislike 4e. They'll still want to explain why my dislike is not justified. Because no one has a preference that they don't feel is defensible. Also, while it's true I don't like gnomes, if I'm in a thread about not liking gnomes, mostly I'm there to blow razzberries with the expectation that someone will blow razzberries back and I'll either laugh or learn something. My biggest problem with D&D as it exists in any edition is the same as my problem with every RPG - I hate how much work is required to refine the rules to something I feel I want to play. I hate how much of the RAW feels poorly thought out, how much house rules I have to create, how much extra writing I often have to do to run a published module. It wouldn't matter what edition of D&D I wanted to play, I'd have to write hundreds of pages of house rules. The main reason I like 3.X, is I've already done that. If you love some other edition, either you already know it's problems or we are very different sorts of GMs. [/QUOTE]
