[QUOTE="Malmuria, post: 8448053, member: 7030755"] Well, the context of my comment is a discussion of why 5e is popular, so my personal preferences are not actually very relevant. So I'm giving my impression of discourse I've seen online in trying to give an account of what makes 5e work for so many tables. If you want to make the (fairly obvious) point that that discussion is speculative and cannot speak to the preferences of each and every 5e player, go ahead, but I don't think speculating in that way is wildly out of bounds of normal discussion. re: bold assertions. Certainly claims that I or anyone else make are based to a large degree in individual experiences. If you've played a wider array of games and/or played for a longer time, then you may very well have a perspective that helpfully contextualizes other people's claims. There is a way to introduce that perspective and participate in a conversation that does not imply that others are disqualified from participating. For examples of how do to this, see [USER=16586]@Campbell[/USER] 's posts. [/QUOTE]
