[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6400886, member: 2011"] First of all, I love playing D&D. Even when I do not prefer some aspect of it, I really enjoy it. And I especially like playing D&D with my friends. So yes, I do not prefer Planescape, but no matter what the game, I have a lot of fun. The game is so much more for me than my just my PC. It's about teamwork, socializing with friends, telling jokes, saving the day, coming up with cool ideas in game, watching someone roll a critical right at the proper moment, etc. Not just me. Not just my PC. But the entire group. I am not one of those entitled people for whom minor molehills become massive mountains. You, on the other hand, are willing to argue that a given PHB race should be allowed in every single campaign, regardless of how the campaign world is structured. You in your own words have left many many games, I have only left a few (and only 2 D&D games in 35+ years, one because the DM was extremely heavy handed, and the other because the DM only really liked exploration, not combat or roleplaying). So yes, it computes very easily. I am content with how the DM sets up a game for the most part and you are not. I play D&D to have fun and be with my friends and to make new friends. Other people play the game to ensure that their preferences and ideas are immediately implemented. Different strokes. And when I play, I give the DM the respect he deserves and do not gripe if he disallows certain races, classes, alignments, feats, spells, or rules. When I DM, I expect the same respect in return. I listen to an idea. Sometimes, I allow it. Sometimes not. But as a player, I don't just quit the game unless it is extremely horrendous. And I give other people's campaign ideas a real chance. I don't threaten to quit over it. [/QUOTE]
