[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5295495, member: 80487"] I have raised no objection to that practice, in which I have engaged in myriad ways since 1976. Believe it or not, it was people "customizing D&D to their taste" who produced Rolemaster -- and Palladium, and Arduin, and many other games called by their own proper names. By however many generations, every RPG today traces its lineage back to D&D. (Since the introduction of Character Law, it has been utterly silly to insist that people are "just playing D&D" when in fact they need no more reference to another game than D&Ders do. Rolemaster is a perfectly legitimate and distinctive game in its own right!) So, cut out that nonsense about someone being against tinkering with D&D just because he's in favor of there being D&D to tinker with in the first place. It was there from 1974-2000, and that did not prevent heaps of different games from being played. I'm pretty sure you knew damned well how absurd your baiting was before you engaged in it. I don't see "the idea of doctrinally pure D&D" coming from anywhere but you. That's [I]your[/I] problem, bub. [/QUOTE]
