(Obviously, he didn't like the various directions that the business of the game took over the decades, but that's a different discussion altogether.)I have much more in my bailiwick than you think. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Though I prefer to maintain my anonymity.Either way, one thing I am SURE we can agree upon:  We both strive to run games for our players that are fun, challenging and exciting that allow our players to enjoy D&D, whatever edition, whatever gaming style we bring to the table.  For me, sometimes I run sandbox campaigns, sometimes I run APs, sometimes I run something in between with a sandbox interspersed with published adventures and a haze of a campaign story arc.I imagine we have much more in common with how we game, than not.</blockquote>
