So what exactly is the root cause of the D&D rules' staying power?

[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7347435, member: 5142"] I disagree, as I do think that it has been cordial, though perhaps you have been eager to jump the gun to hostility. If you have read hostility or a cessation of cordiality, then I apologize if my tone was not transparent enough. Oh, most definitely. And it does not help that there is often a misuse of terms due to a lot of system relativism. And see, I have found an incredibly different experience where my time/calculation burden feels much less than what I had to deal with in 3E. I think this demonstrates that different systems sometimes works at different speeds for different peoples. We even see a similar phenomenon at play when people talk about their different experiences and combat speeds - sometimes slower, sometimes faster - when implementing Mearls' Greyhawk initiative. Really? I observed that he did that much better job at this desired role than he did during the Fantasy AGE play where he was a Dwarf Warrior who flubbed every attack roll. But I also observed in this combat role during Fate. I observed that he enjoyed himself in his role. I enjoyed that he had a clear grasp of his role. Oh, my experiences have been different, and I think that this is also sometimes a difference between novice and veteran, similar as one would expect to novices to D&D. You asked me to appreciate your own preferences, while dismissing my own and those who like Fate. So yeah, I could see how that could kill the conversation, but I declared an intent for cordial conversation. But if you have already determined that Fate has no merit, then this conversation was already dead upon initiation. [/QUOTE]
