[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7629061, member: 996"] Good, because I'm pretty sure I wasn't offering it for sale, and I'd hate to have to turn away your purchase order. ;) Rather, the distinction I drew above was between discussion of preferences for, or qualities of, options - which, yeah, can get pretty negative - and the campaigning to have specific options excluded from consideration, entirely. You can delve deeply into the issues a system or mechanic has without demanding no one anywhere under any circumstances ever be permitted access to an official version of it. Even, in the horrific scenario of others gaining access to it, you are in no way obliged to avail yourself of the thing. In 5e, specifically, anything that might be added after the PH is necessarily optional, and it is simple and easy, as a DM, to just decline to opt into it. … Now, 'persecution' might have some applicability to the extremes of the edition war, but I don't think that's been happening in this thread. Even if it has strayed terribly from the original, really quite positive topic. [/QUOTE]
