[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9673911, member: 7025282"] As a simple test of logic…(don’t got all philosophy 101 on me…please, for Pelor’s sake)… A lot of people seem to have fun playing D&D. And many of them play things differently. By what standard are they wrong? For me this is a space to talk about how you do it—-what your group likes… How can people, so many people be having fun but be so wrong? Do it how you want but there are no “truths” to be found other than the game seems to be run for many. However wrong their opinions. Stuff gets weird sometimes. Not enough agency, too much agency, too much creative control, not enough…turn the f-ing dials to fun…for you. Example: my pals and I have played for nearly 40 years and 36 or so as a group. We count arrows, sometimes die, have good and evil and us alignment…have half races and multiclass and use feats…and… Now our kids play and think this is fun too. One DM railroads “more” another not at all and me a little. Somehow friendship and friendship have made this so satisfying. When I DM I use minis and terrain; my buddy has files on a computer displayed on a TV…the other likes online. Another is theater of the mind. We all play and dm…with a few other full time players and kids. I know for a fact we love rolling d20s and laugh and have shared stories. Some are forgettable maybe others epic. Go back to arguing by all means I am on the sidelines reading for fun. But realize fun is the thing. Kid someone else gets there differently whatever. Be flexible if you can and the captain of your soul…er, fun. Play on and enjoy this great part of life! I might even have the honor of playing your crappy (kidding) game at a con some day! [/QUOTE]
