[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8633157, member: 7026617"] I figured as much; because of my particulars of arc of play in the D&D part hobby (started in the OD&D period, left for greener pastures when AD&D came along, stuck a toe back in during the AD&D2e period because it seemed more practical for a play-by-post I was wanting to do at the time, then left again until 3e, left yet again after 3.5, played one campaign of 4e, then went out again until the PF2e game I'm in) I've simulataneously got a perspective some younger individuals don't, and at the same time missed a lot of things because, on the whole, D&D hasn't really been my gig (out of the 40 years I've been in the hobby maybe 8 of it was spent in D&D or D&D adjacent games?). So I try to be clear on what I know and what I don't. While fair, I think it can also apply to people who don't think about how they're applying one standard to one part of play and a different one to a different. Its one thing when they do so deliberately, another when they just don't think about it. All reasonable. I was mostly only responding to cases where the differences are being produced by subconscious reasoning. I sometimes think people who do it consciously are inconsistent, too, but that's contextual. Right. My note was that this is complicated by the fact people are often really not that good at presenting expectations in enough detail to be useful. [/QUOTE]
