[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6588923, member: 6668292"] Based on your comments, I don't think you do. Because it's wrong. If you get to state your opinion on what I'm doing, I get to state my opinion on what you're doing. Okay? Yep. That is a perfectly good way of doing it. These are things I consider often when I'm running various games. And it's perfectly fine to have fun this way in any edition of D&D. I don't see the objection? If your players like the rails, then there's no problem. I don't get it. I'm not painting that style as bad, I'm saying I don't engage in it with my RPG campaign, even if you think I do. That's all. Of course people have fun with the style you're describing. Yeah, feel free to do that. I'm not saying not to do that. You know that, right? I know you don't. Okay. Your views on this topic are a little more clear. I don't have anything to say about them (as they don't tie into how you've painted my play style), but okay. I can do that. Based on how you express yourself, yes, clearly I think that. There's no need to paint it in another light, either. Or describe it in a way that it isn't, and then go on about how that's not effective (I think the kids call that strawmanning?). But if you continue to talk about a gaming philosophy I engage in, I'll probably participate. If it gets attacked, I'll probably defend it. How else would I act on a discussion board? [/QUOTE]
