[QUOTE="Corwin, post: 7155582, member: 1560"] I find it interesting the way people perceive things. You know, what with it passing through their own filters and such... Yeah. What a terrible suggestion. (rolleyes) Again, why is this a problem? Seems like a logical response to someone who finds a lot wrong with a particular system, or something fundamental about it that keeps causing them issues. (exasperated look) This seems like a pretty caricaturish, misrepresentation of the instances where similar was offered. But again, personal filter, and all. Do you have an example of someone saying this, in such a condescending way? (look of scornful doubt) This, right here, is just more evidence that my suggestion of a more fitting system/edition may be apropos. Take a moment to look at what you just wrote. Seriously, read it from a neutral reader position. Can't you see that you've basically just leveled criticisms on the system itself, and the direction the devs decided to go in, more so than the people you think you are chastising? And then you get yourself all into a lather because someone dared to suggest not all systems are designed with every playstyle preference as a focus? And that maybe some systems are better suited for groups who like, "giant stat blocks and multi page encounter diagrams" in their modules in lieu of "yummy background, history, and motivations"? You don't see that? I guarantee you there is a system/edition out there much more suited for you. The fact that someone, daring to help you realize that is being insulting, is more on you than them. (frustrated sigh) "I can't believe that module wasted so many pages on history of the region! Doesn't the writer realize a lot of DMs make it up themselves because they use their own homebrew setting? Or that their campaigns have a lot of changes from the assumed baseline narrative? I mean, my PCs killed Duke Sinisterpants of Shadyrealm six months ago in another adventure. And this module dares to tell me he is a pivotal character? That's stoopid!"
