[QUOTE="Christoph the Magus, post: 411414, member: 1480"] I tried to resist posting this because it's going to come out as a slam, which isn't my intention. But here goes. You are playing D&D the way I played it in High School. Back then I thought that TSR could do no wrong and I thought Drizzt was kewl. My group wasn't interested in doing anything creative, we pretty much just wanted to relive moments from FR novels. We took the exact same approach that you describe. If a new sourecebook came out for FR, we bought it and changed the campaign to fit the new official concept. We ran into Drizzt and Elminster and god knows who else. We thought it was great. Looking back, I can't believe how lame our game was. I couldn't sit through 1 session like that now, although we gamed that way for almost 2 years. Your description of your gaming is like what would have happened if my old gaming group had stuck together and never grown up. Anyway, I really don't mean to slam you. If you're having fun, that's great. But what you're describing is something that mostly rabid fanboys (like my group used to be) are going to enjoy. Which you'll find plenty of on the WoTC boards, so I'm sure that you're position will get plenty of support. [/QUOTE]
