[QUOTE="Minicol, post: 3816458, member: 17308"] So Far, so good. Hold on, why do we need to accept anything ? Has gaming become a cult where you have to follow blindly the leader to your doom on the sacrificial altar ? :lol: Well, I don't like it. But I don't intend to stop gaming. Do that if YOU want, but not me, it's not my way. On the other hand, I do game because I get to meet people I like over a somewhat nice game, but ultimately, it's the fun I get and the people I meet that matters, not the game. And I really have an issue with this rude, thug - like approach of "you are an old fogey, and if you shut up maybe we'll let you play with us genereously OUR game, because what you think, feel, or say does not matter". Even if I liked 4e, I don't see how I could realistically have fun with someone with such an attitude as is displayed. So yes, it's certainly best if we go separate ways and we don't game together. Because the problem, as I read the threads on this fine board, is that you want us to shut up and adopt the new game blindly so that we keep spending on YOUR new game which we do not want to use. Do you think it's Christmas now ? If D&D has gone on for such a long time, it's mainly because us grognards DMs have invested time and MONEY to keep the line alive. Since we do not need us anymore, it is quite acceptable for us to stop spending as well. I highly doubt the "new generation" is willing to spend as much as we do, or spend the same amount of time DMing. Fortunately, I have no shortage of players, so I don't have to stop gaming at all for many years. [/QUOTE]
