Which would be fine, but often I feel a lot of differing opinions get shouted down in the process. To the point that I sometimes feel "play the game the way you want" feels less the inclusive statement and more of a dismissive one (its okay to play wrong!). It gets really difficult to compromise when so much of this board feels like a constant string of complaints against modern D&D (5.24 especially), WotC, any and all changes to the game, player empowerment, kitchen sinks, and the very notion D&D is a complete game unto itself. Its hard to not go full defensive when it feels like every aspect of the game you find enjoyable is always being attacked.</blockquote>
