[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9165170, member: 7024481"] I agree with most of your post but strongly disagree with the last point. As a fan of natural language, the DMG is still cringe. DMG cringiness has nothing to do with natural language. Oddly enough, people who appreciate natural language tend to dislike endless random tables. Very few of appreciate sticking an index to a different book in the middle of a chapter. come on. most DM's don't care. It's that simple. They pick up the rule book read it and run the game. quit conflating forum junkies with the majority. I find more are either exicited about the concept or not excited about the concept. The whole arguing over language thing is simply nitpicker's like us lurking in the forums. You know my english teachers in college used to make statements like that about how all educated people got upset about language being butchered. The professors in my other classes, math, government, art etc for the most part didn't care. If they could read it and understand it it was good enough. Peer outside your bubble before you start making declarative statements about the whole. [/QUOTE]
