The one true game is the game I run and all other games are inferior right? Arrogance?All RPG's I know come with the disclaimer, "these are your rules now, do what you will with them", don't they? I can't help it if people are too cowardly to play the game they want to and need to follow every dang rule. What if you don't want to use Vancian magic in OD&D? Is there an alternate spell casting system? I'm sure you have the "Freedom" to make one up but you can do that with any frikkin edition of any RPG game ever made. All RPG's offer you the "freedom" to do whatever you want with them.We play 3.5 with just the core books and we never have the problems that the Grogs attribute to 3.5. Too many feats? Nope. Players playing to the system? Not my games. Can't roleplay because they have skills and feats? Whatever. The funny thing is I love 1edAD&D as much as 3.5 and I do like it's quirkiness and cool rules. Why all the hate for a system that gives you the stability to play tactical battles plus add a working skill system. (which the older systems never had one unless you made them up)I do have PDF's of OD&D and all it's supplements and I think the game would be cool to run but it's not the one true game any more than I'm the one true guitar player. If it's the one true game why is GAry playing LA then . (Heresy) It just offers you a different style of play. The one true game, if I were honest, would be BRP, which is used in CoC, Stormbringer, RQ, etc...After reading many, many, rulesets I think BRP is simple and a very powerful game engine. Still my favorite is D&D and all its incarnations. (BD&D,OAD&D, Hackmaster, 3.5) The rules taste different but offer something unique which is what I admire. Unique and different but similar. Not the same damn thing all the time. ( even I get tired of fried chicken eventually) (Bruce Lee tried the "one true" diet, didn't seem to work out too well)cheers,Blueps- THe only one true game would be one without rules at all to get in the way of your imagination. MAke everything up!</blockquote>
