[QUOTE="papastebu, post: 3375898, member: 40894"] Paul Simon once said that "One man's ceiling is another man's floor." I agree. As a grown person in the free world, you can do anything you want that does not systematically and consistently offend a large number of people, and stops well short of harm to others. Some manage to break even those simple rules without repurcussions. If I do not like something, generally I don't have anything to do with it. It seems to me that you should choose the same, because this game is not something you have to do. It reminds me of some players that I gamed with as a much younger man who would consistently become upset if anything happened to their characters that was slightly random or did not fit within the idea they had for them. The character sheet would go in the trash if the DM wouldn't change the decision. Not to be rude, but I also notice that you first posted last month, and now you are publicly ragging out a game that just about everyone here professes to love. Did you join just to insult people, or could there possibly be some other purpose to your tirade? Do you want an argument or help with these supposed problems? It seems to me that the bottom line here is about what you want. Like any other thing in your life, you have to decide. Do you want to play the game? If you do, then fix the things you think are broken. Check out the House Rules forum if you want specific solutions to your oh-so-specific complaints. If you don't want to play this game, then do something else. You obviously have a choice. P.S. I have just noticed that this post has been largely threadjacked. In this case, at least, I think this is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
