[QUOTE="TGryph, post: 9244789, member: 19651"] I see a lot of back and forth about "One Type of Music" or "One Pizza topping" and so forth. I put it to you that, even though a person might only play one system., that in no way shape or form means they only play one way...that every time the Flavor is the same. I have run and played in numerous campaigns using the same system that varied as much in tone and feel as if we were playing a different system. A sea-based piratical campaign is going to have a different flavor from a group of Knights defending a realm vs a Thieves Guild committing various crimes and capers vs a more light-hearted, less serious almost comedic campaign or even one-off. As example, I give you 2nd Edition Edition AD&D settings Dark Sun vs Birthright vs Ravenloft vs Forgotten Realms. All use the same base rules (with modifications) yet all felt very different. If you like using different rules, great ( I do myself on occasion). But I think you are doing a great disservice to those who prefer one system, stating it has the same tone and feel as eating the same meal every time you go to a restaurant.
